New update. I was provided the list of charities the dealership works with. Donation would be made in the name of the dealership. They say that they think the expected donation the next year would be much less than the 50k for this year.

In other words, the dealer claims the donation for taxes, so you can’t. The dealer owner probably collects a salary from the charity too; otherwise they wouldn’t provide a list of approved charities.

Saw a YouTube video by Racer X with the same $50K donation ADM, not sure if he is the same forum member as @Racer X

No, it is not the same one. I do not have a YouTube presence.

The key part is where RacerX is based. The number one Corvette dealer in our state has fallen to this level. I would assume even with a 50k donation they can still turn around and say they are selling their corvettes at MSRP. Slimey! I too have had my deposit there for close to 2 years and was told I was high on the list for a Z06. Not sure what to do from this point. It is way too late to get on the big dealers lists (Kerbeck/Macmulkin). Continue to wait or go a different route? Ugh!

No, but I'd much rather donate to charity (if I could choose it) than some suck-a** greedy dealer.

Maybe, if I choose the charity and receive the tax deduction. Oh wait, the fine print says the dealer makes the donation in his name(said differently, his tax deduction) and to his list of 'approved' charities(said differently, the ones that have agreed to his required kickback). Naw, I'll pass.
