Catch is they must have a comparable unit in stock.

Sounds like custom orders are off the table

The fine print:

We are confident that our pricing is best- as a matter of fact, we are Ten Thousand Dollars confident. If Les Stanford Chevrolet-Cadillac cannot beat your price you will get Ten Grand! To claim the guarantee- you must allow LSCC the opportunity to beat the deal-LSCC must have a comparable unit in stock by equipment and MSRP-prior to you purchasing from competing dealer. Pepcars, demos, vin exclusive invoice credited units, special event/autoshow units, catastrophe damaged (hail,flood,etc) are excluded. Proof of bonafide deal must be accompanied by a signed purchase order with the business card of the signing manager of the competing dealer. Price guarantee is for purchase price only- trade in values are not price guaranteed. Eligible incentives will be evidenced by GMGlobalconnect VIN incentive lookup.

Can anyone picture this scenario actually happening-

"Sorry sir we just cannot match $57,500, the best we can do is 58,000 we cannot afford to lose money on that sale so if you can get it at that price go for it. So here is your $10,000 check as promised."

What an empty guarantee...

Yeah, it is really just a price match guarantee. Nothing more. There is a dealer around here (not Chevy) that advertises if they can't match your deal, they're just going to give it to you. Yeah, right.

Lol, if you were a slimy jerk here's what you do:

Go to your local dealer that doesn't have allocation, have them SIGN a deal for a car with equal options at invoice price and see if Les Stanford will match the price or give you $10k. Offer the manager $1k under the table for his help.


Lol.

The clause about them having a comparable unit in stock gives them a 100% out.

The other car has red calipers and ours has yellow, they are not comparable. etc. etc.

How about a promise that will actually bring in business, like $5,000 off MSRP on every C7 in stock.

Or even $3k off a Z51. Reasonable profits, repeat customers and volume would be a good idea. At least that's how I sell to my clients.

They are a major dealer here in the SE MIchigan area....keep in mind this ad is not AIMED at C7s; it's for ALL the GM products. We tend to think the whole automotive world revolves around the Corvette. They are my best chance this spring of getting a good deal close to home.

Called & talked to a sales manager...Les Stanford won't match/beat advertised C7 discounts offered by forum competitors! In fact, they won't budge off msrp.
They are loaded with new C6's including 3 ZR1/3ZR's @ over $100K & 15 427's...go figure.

It's just a marketing gimmick. They can snake out of it some way or another. Like they are going to give you a check for 10g's lol. Always some bs fineprint. Shady IMO

that's what they have to say on the phone or in email...think about it. Whole different story face-to-face.

If it does happen (the $10,000.00 guarantee....) it is used as a gimmick - once only. A dealer in my city did just that - gave away a small foreign car because they couldn't beat another dealer's price. They ran ads endlessly on how they gave a car away honoring their guarantee. If Les Stanford does award someone $10,000.00, it will be done only once - and they will bombard the public with ads on what great guys they are.

I've never put any faith in those type of guarantees.
