Sometimes things just work out at a local dealer

@Germansheperd ..... and blue vapor metallic, sure will look great in the sun.....the color changes in pretty cool ways depending on the ambient light! The questions will be a pita but I answer them all good naturedly.

Thanks I’ll have some fun with it this summer.

Did the same... right off my dealership's floor... When I was getting my F-150 serviced.

Yeah there’s something to be said for grabbing one right off the showroom!

Beautiful car!
I did the same for the 1st time , 2 months ago.
Had no intention of trading in my Mach 1, just bored on Saturday and wanted to see the Dark Horse in person.
Fell in love at first site, interior was such an upgrade. Car looks way better in person than pics.
Dealership is a client so they took care of me.. Late model 24 with $4k off sticker and a great trade in value for the Mach 1 and I was on the road in 2 hours.

Nice upgrade. That was my deal on my 2025- 4K off of MSRP.

Thanks!
Glad you got the discount to offset the 24-25 price increase!
Forgot to mention My main reason was to get back in a manual

Ceramic coated, windows tinted, strakes installed and airbag warning stickers removed!

I did the same when it became uncertain if I was going to get my order. It was not local but was still in my state. I managed to snag it back in March of 24 for $4k under sticker.

Those are great stories, but I believe I've got them all beat ...

Back in 2016, I was on my way to the Cadillac dealer to pick up a brand new 2016 CTS-V. Everything was done, I had the two-party check for ~$80K-something in my hand, and I was driving towards the dealership to sign some papers and pick up the car.

About 500 yards before the Cadillac dealership on the same side of the road was a Chevrolet dealership. As I approached, I noticed there were a couple of new 2016 Corvettes parked out front. IIRC, one was yellow and the other red.

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I pulled into the Chevy dealership, parked, and walked over to look at those two cars. Within a couple of minutes, a salesman approaches me. We chatted for a few minutes about the cars, and I told him I was just about to go pick up my new CTS-V.

At one point, I said, "Yea, I really like these Corvettes, but don't like yellow or red. The only way I would consider buying one would be if it was an all black Z06 coupe with the 2LZ package.

He smiled and said, "Follow me".

We walked into the showroom and *smack dab* in the middle of that showroom floor was a brand new all black 2016 Corvette Z06 coupe with the 2LZ package.

Suffice it to say, I never made it the remaining 500 yards down the road to the Cadillac dealership.

After a test drive, he gave me the key fob and told me to take the Z06 home, even though I had NOT yet purchased it.

I was back up at the dealership the next day with a two-party check for the Z06, where I signed the paperwork.

I'll never forget that particular timeline of events.

Oh, and that salesman? He was the newest and youngest salesperson there. IIRC, I believe it was one of if not his very first sale ... ;)

That was my 2014 Mustang GT behind the Corvette.
