You’re kidding. You can supposedly use a heat gun or a blow dryer to fix it. I need to buy myself a heat gun. Need to facilitate the PPF healing where it blocked a rock from chipping the hood. Best. Money. Spent.

I can't believe Dealers are still pulling this crap.

Until people stop buying cars with markups, then we will keep seeing it.

I got mine a little below sticker. Pays to go to a place not charging above sticker and have a relationship with the salesman / place.

I saw an ad for a CT5-V Blackwing and they say "Special Edition" when it's not, but then charge their $10k or $20k mark up for being a "Special Edition" model. Even more shady that just being up front and saying they want more money for the car.

Two new Corvettes went up for auction (one from a dealer, one from a dealer's middleman), both not hitting their reserves, after bids went to $45-70k OVER MSRP. It's disgusting that these dealerships' respective greed was so immense that they couldn't be satisfied with nearly 150% of sticker. The sooner dealers go away, the better. Sites that also destroy the secondary market for the general public like Cars and Bids and BringATrailer are trash as well.

Some Dealers still think it's March 2021.

I truly don’t understand this… God forbid there’s an accident; insurance is ONLY paying MSRP, not the additional $45-$70k. Clearly some folks have more money to burn than me. SMH.

Even better, the Corvette from the middleman wouldn't have a warranty anymore, since it's a 2nd owner and GM did this to prevent flipping.

Nah, you can read more here. Dealers were from CT and OH.
