I bought my Corvette from a private seller in South Carolina. So last week I flew down from Wisconsin and drove it back from Hilton Head Island. It got 27MPG. Not even HALF of what you got!

I'll answer any question for only $50.
I'm supposed to pay that guy $500 to answer a question?
Show up to the dealer and tell them you have the financing in place. Allow them the opportunity to beat it or if not let them handle the rest of the deal and sending the title to the loan provider.
Maybe don’t tell them until you negotiate, don’t tell them how much you can afford?
I know he can and will deal with the dealer so you won’t have to until you have to sign, he’ll make sure you don’t get anything tacked on...
The dealer, fairly, also wants to make some money. The buyer obviously wants to spend as less as possible. I would just tell them going in. The dealer may give you more in incentives if they feel they can get a bit back on a slightly higher interest rate. So if you spring the whole I already have financing in place after you negotiated the price down then the dealer may want some of that money back.
True, but it also depends on who that interest is going to. Is it through one of their third party affiliates or their very own factory backed one, the latter is usually the last option and can work it for him with the best lowest interest rate.... honestly they just want that “same day money”
If you go through the process of lining up the financing then that tells me the person is not interested in the behind the scenes garbage of who gets what in the financing by the dealer. The dealer is still going to want to make money in the end. So I wouldn’t expect to pay invoice, get all the incentives and have you own financing on a super low interest loan. Even in a great deal the buyer will have to give in somewhere....as they should. As the buyer you pick the overall financing package that makes sense. If you want the zero interest loan then expect less cash back.
If you have really great credit and is working the process and doing the research then expect a really great deal. But don’t expect 100% everything. There will come a point where a dealer just can’t do a deal also. And in this current market with supply constraints and low inventory dealers currently don’t have to deal to move vehicles particularly with in demand vehicles. Probably a super low interest loan is the best you can get. It’s really a bad time to be a buyer. Low supply and high demand. Even in the used market.....which may be a great opportunity on a trade in. Get the low interest loan and not much else but get a great deal on a trade in because used car prices are rising
Ya, don’t buy into the supple/demand shtick.
when I went to buy my accord they tried to raise the price from what was advertised on their site by 2,000 because of “supply constraints” and “demand.”
I called their bulls*** out immediately haha. Got it for the advertised price.
The advertised price was already a "great" deal per truecar and other research I did on the net. It was pretty close to invoice price. That's why I went in.
They tried increase the base price based on the argument of demand/availability by about $2K and then tried to increase the price by another $1,900 for dealer installed s*** when we started talking numbers.
Went in to buy RS5, left with an S5. All the RS5's here weren't the color/options I wanted so I got an S5 (prestige with B/O + carbon, sport exhaust/suspension/dynamic steering/4wheel drive rear differential/Matrix LED+ lasers lights). I only plan on keeping it for 2 years, then will buy the new C9 RS7 or something of that nature (Maybe a Porsche Taycan turbo vs RS e-tron GT?). Overall I do like the S5, but am having some buyers remorse not getting an RS5. I just didn't want to wait 8+ months on a 2022 build for the options/colors I wanted.
I will do a better photoshoot once PPF and ceramic are on.

Did they have any RS6 avants? I think those are each made to order, I could be wrong.
