I have to agree that Chevrolet dealers, as a whole, don't add much value when representing
the automaker of the vehicle. Frankly, I found out more about what was coming in 2002 in the Z06 from this forum in about an hour than I could ever hope to gleen from all the 5000+ Chevy dealers thoughout the country, as a whole, including those that are heavily allocated new model Corvettes.
Even now, after the "official" press release, most dealers are still virtually clueless. I find this to be disconcerting and very much resent the expectation (from most dealers) that the customer should blindly reward them by paying high markups on these vehicles.
Why? What do these dealers do to add any real value?
I find this problem to be rampant among all Chevy dealers who sell new Corvettes and frankly I think the vast majority of them worth a damn.
Heck, even months into the new model year, most dealers will not even have a new model Corvette brochure to show you (or a video) and many will still be clueless what the new features (and options) are in the car, yet the high markups remain just the same.
Something really stinks in American business when so little is provided by way of product knowledge and available customer services, yet so much is expected in return by these dealers and so-called service provider.
