blonzz Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I spoke with the sales manager at Brown & Brown in Mesa about placing an order for a 2005 C6 coupe. After our conversation he forwarded me to one of his salesmen.The salesman was builiding a car without me first selecting a "Preferred Equipment Group".He had me choose options individually.From what I understand a Preferred Equipment Group must be selected and then add buyer wanted "free flow options" and color combinations.I metioned this to the sales manager and he said I must remember that they are "The King Of Corvettes" and they might be able to order it that way.I say this is somewhat unbelievable. ;) Other dealers I have spoke with say my ordering selection process is correct.Could I have some opinions on this please?Also recommendations where others have had a pleasant purchase?Thank you,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3,503 lbs of trouble Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 And I thought Brown & Brown Chevrolet was one of the better dealerships to deal with here in town.I personally don't know how one's goes about ordering a new Vette, but I'll bet a call to Chevrolet customer service might clear up exactly what the protocols are for selecting options on a new car order.Good luck!

Guest DREAM C-5 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I am surpriswed by the way they treated you. I had a good expirence with their internet sales team when I was thinking of getting a c6 :D I did not pull the trigger on a deal due to $ for my trade. I was going to order a coupe, DSOM, Z51, 1SB, WITH NAV/ DVD and polished wheels. : Fred : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak112460 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I was just over by Brown&Brown yesterday and there was a transporter there with at least six C6's being off loaded. I watched a Blue one roll off and drive in. Maybe it's yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
