Default Burglund Auto

Had a similar experience with Burglund Auto (Roanoke VA) that SCM_Crash had with Keys. Talked to sales person and asked how much for the C7's. Told me they don't have any but they were thinking 10k above MSRP when they get them plus a NON REFUNDABLE 1k deposit. Told him other dealers are selling at MSRP. He told me that's BS - said they talked to other dealers that were selling at 10k above MSRP. Two weeks passed and got a call from sales mgr saying he wanted to sell me a C7 at MSRP. Wanted to have a lisence plate frame with dealership name showing. Promised to make me #1 on the list. Told him Criswell already has my deposit. Came back with lets make a deal. Told him should have done that the first time I contacted them. Greedy bunch.

Another indication that the demand for the C7 is less than many believe. Not because the C7 is a dog, as it isn't, but the economy just isn't there.

Did you see the corvette prices at the latest Mecum Auction.

No shortage off cash there.
