GM's new Corvette Signature Dealer Program
This is what it takes to be able to sell the new Corvette. We signed up yesterday, and it is a hefty sum of money.
It does include 2 days of having the new Corvette here on the lot before production begins, and also means I get to go to Spring Mountain and drive the new car. |

You have to pay money to be allowed to sell a car? Won’t that cost get passed along to the happy buyer?

A big part of the problem is the stealerships treat Corvette buyers the same way they treat Sonic buyers. If the extra investment means that the dealer is motivated to provide a better Corvette ownership experience then it's worth it.

I didn't say we couldn't afford it. We are a very large dealer (Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ford, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram Dodge), but to pay over $50,000 just to have the chance to sell a Corvette is far more than what it used to cost. Previously you had to buy around $4000 worth of tools and that was it. We're doing program 2, and sending 2 techs, 2 sales people, 1 manager, and the GM. |
