That makes sense, I suppose. But I thought most Corvette owners were old and retired.

Does that mean you didn't jump hard enough, or the dealer got offered more money from someone else?

Not sure what game they played. They took my info on my trade and then said by way someone was ahead of me. I bought my C6 from them. Not sure why they went to the trouble to bother me about a trade if someone was ahead of me.

I believe that is a ploy many car salesmen use. I guess it is to try to keep you from trying to beat them to death on the price if you are led to believe it could be sold to someone else in front of you. Perhaps they are hoping that you will panic and offer them more money than they are asking. When we bought Connie's truck, the salesman told me the same thing. That a customer was heading over right now from their other dealership across town, but since we were right there now, we could have the truck if we bought it RIGHT NOW. Well, Connie REALLY wanted that truck, otherwise I would have just hung around to see what happened.
Car sales people do some really tricky stuff sometimes. And no matter how long you have done business with any one of them, or a dealership, no one there is really your friend. IMHO.

I am just gonna keep my C6 for a while. Not sure what to do with all this crap going on. The C8 just does not have the space of my C6 and i go fishing offshore and can carry all my stuff in a C6.

Heck, I'm debating on the extended warranty on the Grand Cherokee I just bought. With this CCP Virus thing, I'm not sure how much driving around Connie and I will be doing. Sort of blew any even remote chance of traveling we have had, right out of the water. We sure as heck don't want to be eating at restaurants, or anywhere someone else has been handling our food. And staying at a motel where who knows how many people who might have been infected with the virus stayed and slept in within the past month. I read an account of one of those cruise ships had active virus in it 17 days after everyone had been removed from the ship. So they are still learning about this thing, and anything they are telling us right now is going to be subject to revision based on new and more accurate data they accumulate. For one thing, no one has even a clue about how many asymptomatic carriers there are out there right at the moment. And they keep on dancing around just how airborne this virus might be.
