This happened at the dealership where I ordered my C7 from. I ran into a salesman that works there today (Tuesday, 19 Nov), and he said the car suffered $27,000 damage. Also, he said, it happened because the saleswoman who caused it was unfamiliar with a stick shift.....appearently the was in 2nd gear, she pushed the clutch in, started the car, then took her foot off the clutch........Bang, crash!!! He stated it was like a bomb had gone off in the showroom.
And the kicker is, a buyer was just about the sign a check for the 'vette......he had pen in hand and was just about to sign it when it was "specially delivered" in memorable style!
Considering the cost of the special edition C7, what it will cost to repair it, and what money it will be to repair the showroom; not a profitable day for this dealership
