Scalping Corvettes: Chevrolet Will Void Owner's Warranty If They Flip Corvette Z06

[emapples]

I am amazed that these companies think they have the right to demand what a client can or cannot do with a product once purchased. My how far we have come (and not in a good way)

Yeah I don’t care for flippers, but lets be honest dealerships arent much better they are just as crooked.

Fair enough GM needs to void all warranties of new cars any dealership that charges over MSRP.
Seems we have a crooked dealership issue to me. These limited edition cars always bring more when one can’t order one from The factory. Vette, Shelby, Ford GTs, Dodge Hellcats etc.

screw em, cleanup your own dealership networks first JMO

The things car dealerships are doing right now is blowing my mind. My son has a friend in Waco who just bought his wife a new Expedition and ordered himself a new Raptor, and the dealership is calling him weekly trying to buy the Expedition back for more than they paid for it and are guaranteing him $15k if he will let them have the Raptor when it comes in instead of taking possession of it.
I talked to another guy that has a new Chevy 3/4 ton, and he’s been offered $10k more than he paid for it. He thought about selling it back to them, but he figured with the hassle and replacement cost that he would probably only net out about a $1000 which isn’t worth his while.

They're trying, but the state laws are stacked in the favor of the "poor, downtrodden" (local) dealerships against the "big, evil" (out of state) manufacturers, so they just don't have many levers they can pull to affect the behavior of the dealers.

I would take the 10K or 15K and buy an old 3/4 ton and have money to spare.
Old as in 1970-1980 stuff.

The warranty for a corvette or other GM stuff is laughable.
3 year 36,000 miles.
5 year 60,000 power train.

I should hope it will last that long without issues .

Ford says to call them, with dealership gouging and they cut off what little supply of new vehicles they receive.

We have been seriously thinking about taking the Wif's Lincoln in and see what they will pay.

I’m with you, but most folks today don’t think like that. Many/most people are hung up on having the latest and greatest new vehicle that comes out and loaded up with everything but an automatic butt wiper.

IMO the dealerships can price however they see fit. I have choices and do not have to buy from any one dealer or a dealer at all. Let it sort itself out. We do not need more rules.
