They were a little ridiculous with the add-on crap. I don’t feel like I had to fight them too bad about it. They made it sound like it was standard, and nearly mandatory for them to add everything (nitrogen, paint protection, some kind of car tracking gps thing). There were three things and they were all basically $1,000 each. I just told them we were at a impasse if they tried to add any of that. I’d buy a similar car from another dealer and spend a $1,000 on shipping before I’d spend it on the adds. They didn’t push it too hard. All in all, it was a decent buying experience. The last time I bought a car from them was 20 years ago when I bought a 2001 SS. This ZL1 will be my first GM product since.

I know it’s far but if you get the one at Criswell you won’t have to deal with any shenanigans and the car will only have 3mi on the odometer. They don’t allow test drives.

Did you give them $1000 just to place the order? I have ordered all my cars and never gave a penny to place the order.

I just ordered a black manual trans and expect it early April. Will be turning in my 2019 CTS-V in May. Will miss the V but look forward to getting back into ZL1 especially with a manual.

Well, not every dealership will be willing to place a custom order that might be difficult to sell later without any customer commitment. I gave a deposit on mine, too, to make sure they know I'm serious.

They asked for a 1K deposit, more if it's an oddball color that they wouldn't otherwise have on the lot or think it wouldn't otherwise sell easily.

Well consider this, I had to pay a deposit of $500.00 for my used 2017 ZL1 back in March 2019 before I bought it. I figure it was for placing on hold for me because several other people were hot and heavy to buy it which now I’m glad the salesman requested the deposit.

I had to shop around and find a dealer that had an immediate allocation. Then my local dealer contacted the regional sales guy and was able to get an allocation from another dealer

Yep, I agree. I was going to fly down and look at some ZL1’s because they had a great selection. When I spoke to them they seemed like straight shooters, no BS and prices were reasonable. It seems they do a lot of business with people out of state.

I highly recommend ordering. There's a satisfaction that comes from ordering exactly what you want combined with the anticipation of the wait. I wound up getting the hero and rubber mat's with mine so the car was delivered with 3 sets of floor matts. The dealership got a chuckle out of that.
ALL of the inventoried ones I saw at dealerships had something missing that I wanted or something on them that I didnt want. |
