Michael seems really impressed 😂

[@ellobo1326]

Congratulations. I have a torch red 2020 Z51 coupe. I love mine and bet that you will too. My dealer kept mine in the white transportation wrap and let me have the pleasure of unwrapping my car.

[@monymony68]

We had a terrible experience picking up our car. We would have loved to see it come off the truck and unwrapped it.

[@ellobo1326]

@@monymony68 I thought that salesman was pretty rude. Here you were, picking up your dream car that was a done deal, and he brushed y’all off so that he could run back to that office and “work a deal” I can imagine it only got worse from there.

[@monymony68]

It did get worse. All downhill.

[@leesylvester8713]

I’d go to jail before putting on a front plate…. Beautiful car, had corvettes my whole life.

[@monymony68]

Lol I was joking 😝

[@greggermany252]

They can write me all the tickets want no front plate will ever see the front of any of my vettes

[@NO1CAN007]

I'm in Colorado and cops are out of their minds if they think I'm gonna do it.. That s*** looks like trash and they can't catch me!!!

[@Mm6221]

they do make a removable bracket and doesn't show anything when you pull the plate off

[@WildBill1120]

The kid is the smart one. LOL! 😉😂😂😂

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Tbh I'd be perfectly happy to have Chevy do the 500 mile break in period before I took delivery of the car. Im the impatient type and would want the full potential asap and that would save me from having to drive 8 hours to achieve it the first day I had the car. 😊 Very nice spec btw.

def the best colour.

Haven't Seen Red in a While LOOKS Great!! i would just want the Wing in RED Also!!

I felt the same when my C8 came, That's funny about the miles, good thing Mike was there LOL. Have fun !

If only our salesman was there to answer our questions! Awful service at this dealership from start to finish.

[@markhemingway423]

Sweet car. I love pressing a button for the front lift and for the roof to disappear. Not to mention My Mode and Z Mode.

[@tplus3017]

I will have the same reaction when I get mine next year. Yes make sure it has only factory miles/KMs on it. You buy new, you want new and not 395 miles or whatever.

[@badbreedyt]

Can’t wait to get mines in a couple of months

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

How long have you waited? I definately want a ‘24 with the upgrades.

I just turned in my C7 Z51 for the C8 Z51.. what a difference!!!

[@kylewhit245]

I just got a c7 z51. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Don't know if I'm getting a c8 any time soon. Just happy to be apart of the community.

[@lt2784]

Beautiful ride how exciting

[@fastlyf98]

Whoooooweee!

[@DarkSideOfTheGame22]

I think z51 is your best option over z06 for the money and if your not gonna track it of course

[@skippynj1979]

You can track a z51 just fine.. along with the base model.. just depends what you're capabilities are. To be honest the base model is more than I could ever handle on the track.. although I ordered the z51... Well because I need it😭. I may be ordering a twin htc base as a daily 👍

[@johnscott5662]

Crazy but with a dresser Harley Davidson near $30K the Corvette looks like a steal.

[@Bogie0315]

The 395 miles indicates a full tanks of gas. I doubt that the dealer would let anyone drive a Corvette 395 miles before the customer takes delivery. My 2023 C8 came with 1 mile.

[@MDahmad]

Dude is excited! 395 miles are not normal.

[@monymony68]

Later in the video, we realized that was the amount of miles left for the gas, not the odometer. This is the problem when your salesman is not there to show you the car.

[@Cambothunder007]

It has 10 miles on the odometer, and 395 miles before its empty, gas range.

[@monymony68]

Yeah, we figured that out later on in the video 👍

[@vincew.6905]

I will be just as elated when my number is called!

@@monymony68 thanks so proud of it. it's a great car to drive . being torch red it turns a lot of heads

[@larrywatkins2427]

Could you tell me your experience with this dealership. I want to purchase a C8 and don't trust dealerships. I would love your feedback ! Enjoy your new ride.

[@monymony68]

The only positive thing I can tell you is that you will pay the MSRP. They do not mark up, which is great. Other than that, it was not a great experience. Our salesman did not keep in touch during the year we waited to take delivery. We always had to call him for a status. He did not call to tell us the car would be arriving. It would have been nice to see the car wrapped and being delivered. Also, this dealership installs Lo Jack and window etching on all their cars and doesn’t tell you that upfront. It was quite a shock for them to charge us about $1000 for both of these when we went to pick up the car. They claimed they had already been done and we were stuck with the charges. We found out a few days later, they never installed the Lo Jack, so they basically fraudulently charged us for the something they never did. They did return our money, but that left a very bad impression. When we took delivery, they sold us the extended warranty. We weighed the costs of repairing this very expensive vehicle (lot of electrical stuff) and we decided to buy a warranty for an additional 5 years after manufacturer warranty expires for a total of 8 years. They charged us $10,000 for that 5 year warranty. The next day, we contacted the dealership and told them we wanted to cancel the warranty, so we drove back to the dealership to sign a new contract. That was when we found out about the Lo Jac debacle because we had been complaining about that to the finance manager. Lastly, we realized a few days later that the second FOB didn’t work. We took it back to the dealership and they kept playing with it for over 90 minutes and still couldn’t get it to work. They ended up ordering us a new one and they told us it would take about a week to receive. We’re still waiting for it. We did have a good experience in the service dept. We purchased the Cila-Jet paint protectant which the service dept performed. Rose and Mary were very friendly and courteous.

[@larrywatkins2427]

@@monymony68 Thank you so much for your feedback. I have no trustful regard for any dealership and their sales people. I view them as buzzards just waiting for their moment to pick your wallet clean of all its cash down to the bone. What really stinks is how they can sully what should be such a wonderful moment such as receiving your dream car with that kind of behavior and downright deceitful business practice. I just hope that you are enjoying your beautiful C8 and hope you can put all that dealerships nastiness behind you. Wishing you a Happy New Year with your New beautiful C8 Corvette. Thanks Again !

[@monymony68]

I forgot to mention we made an appointment to pick up the car. When we got there at our scheduled time, our salesman was busy with another customer. We waited 45 minutes for him to finish with them. I was pretty pissed off because we were excited about delivery. He just handed us the key when we got there and we had to fend for ourselves. You can see that moment in the video.

[@larrywatkins2427]

@@monymony68 I appreciate all you have told me. I want to purchase a C8 Corvette myself but every dealership that I have contacted are not interested in selling a C8 at MSRP when you order one or when they have one sitting in their showroom. I do not want to have to go back east to order a Corvette from the major Corvette dealerships. Can you tell me the name of the salesperson that you dealt with hoping to avoid that individual. I hate to patronize a dealership such as them but I don't have other choices if I want to pay MSRP. It seems that they will screw you one way or the other and this is why people are buying Tesla's and avoiding the parasitic dealership experience.

Pretty shitty the salesman wouldn’t deliver the car because he was too busy. After spending around 100,000 on a car it seems a like he could take some time to deliver it

[@Shockernor]

True, but only 100k for that car?? Here in Norway that car costs 250-300k, damn taxes! No wonder there are only a very few C8's here...

Actually, it was about $118k including taxes and fees
