My delivery may include a sort of 'showing' for members of our local club when I actually take delivery as it will be the first one received by the dealer. There is an area where it could be roped off and no one would be allowed in it. The timing of things may be interesting, as my wife and I are going to Europe for two weeks, Sept. 3-17th for our 30th anniversary and depending when mine actually gets built/shipped it could arrive when I'm gone. My order is currently at 3000 (queued for production) so it will be among the first group(s) built. Depending on how long they hold cars for QC audit it could come when we're gone. As far as it just being 'on display' for the general public for a period of time, no.

I wouldn't do it!

No way ! That's 1 less week for you to enjoy YOUR new car. 1 week of torture for you wondering and worrying about your car.

Even then...I'd give him a one day personal showing for all his potiential corvette contacts between 5 pm and 9 pm one evening with coffee and desert...etc... I wouldn't do a week...I couldn't stand the anticipation..of getting the new car...you paid for it...you deserve it....and btw...I'd be at the open house corvette unveiling that evening my car was on display at the dealership. |
My bad, NCM :withstupid:. I'm a newbie still learning your jargon :crazy:

You know why he wants it? Not to sell more Corvettes but to get more looky-loos in the showroom and sell them a new Silverado.
Every couple-three weeks, I go to my local Dodge lot to check on whether the promised Stryker Red Viper has arrived. When I pull up in my C6, a sales rep appears within milliseconds to inquire as to how he may serve me. "Man, this thing is way too fast. It scares me. I want to trade it for a Dart." Really? "no, I'm here to look at the Vipers again." |
Fixed it ..............

Absolutely NOT... the only, and ONLY exception would be JerriVette's suggestion if you had a good friendship with the owner of the dealership. And then I would be there for the entire 4 hours personally. As someone already stated, cars at car shows (and showroom cars) get VERY heavily abused. All it takes is for one dolt, or one mommie's little precious to screw it up. And they walk away and you are holding the bag. No thank you.

Not happening.
I don't even let them put the dealer sticker on the car. It's not a billboard for them to use. USAF |

1. The car will get damaged unless it is roped and locked 2. No unless 1. Is met and you get something out of it |
C'mon guys....... This is a $70K car......
It's funny that this thread was even brought up because I was thinking to "offer" the dealership this same exact thing a couple of weeks ago! My order is already submitted and will be one of the first delivered in the "Sports Car Capitol of the World"........... Orange County, CA. I'm hoping to recoup my "Courtesy Delivery Fee" of $400!! My only condition...... Car roped off & locked. |

Same for auto shows. It's amazing what people do to the cars at autoshows. They must have to steam clean the interiors of everyone to resell them. |
I say do whatever you think is best. No one knows the relationship between you and your dealer. Also there is the relationship between your dealer and your club. If he ropes it off I see no harm, but that is me.

What if some idiot accidently scratches your car? When your car is out of your sight you have no idea what is happening to it no matter what they tell you. Are they paying you?... They would be using your car to make $$$ and get sales. No way i would leave my car sitting for public finger fu@#*ng. :nono: |

Your dealer can order a Premiere Edition if he wants a floor model.
They are great looking cars (love the color LB) but they may be used for public displays. Lots of hands on those cars. :( |
It's up to you and if you do decide to do it, tell the dealer the C7 must remain locked at all times, better yet take the key fob home
|
Sure...I'd let him keep it in his showroom: for $1,000 a day after he installed a 6 foot fence around it.

That. I was even so anal I had the dealer call as soon as the transporter arrived with my '05 C6 so I could view the actual mileage on the odometer as it was the first C6 delivered to Delaware back in 2004.
No additional mileage when delivered to me the next day after prep but no doubt just about everyone at the dealer got to sit in it that first night. At least in my dreams (nightmare) that happened :eek: :flag: Michael |
