:( Talked to my dealership today and they are only getting one ZL1 and the owner is keeping it. Disappointed but trying not to be pissed. I am told that I am first on the list if he decides that he doesn't want it

Guess I'll have to wait for 2013.

There are lots of dealers out there!?!?

I would never purchase another single vehicle or take anything in for service to that dealer ever again. I also think that is bull$hit that GM even allows that to happen. These vehicles are meant for the public to purchase not the owners of the dealerships. Man I am not even in the market for a ZL-1 (yet) and that pi$$es me off. There I feel better now!!!

Your rant is unfounded. Dealers are customers too in the eyes of GM. They have to purchase the car from GM in order to sell it to the public. Once they get a car they can do what ever they want to with it. If I was a dealer and was only allow one of a very special car ,I would do the same thing.

I own a service business with 9 vehicles, yes all purchased from this dealer. They are literally 100 yards down the road from my shop. Anytime I have had an issue they have been great to get me in and get it fixed fast. The nearest dealership is about 30 min away. That would be a PITA when trying to get service so I'm not gonna bite off my nose to spite my face.

I wonder if I can purchase all vehicles elsewhere and still get them serviced there?

Warranty work can be done at any GM authorized dealer!

Yeah, that is the way I was looking at it. I'm not gonna get anywhere by stomping my feet like a little kid

dave, you should be able to bring any number of GM vehicles to any GM dealership and get them repaired. Obviously you would want to keep the vehicles going to the like brand dealers but if you've got a Chevy you can take it to a Buick, GMC, or a Cadillac if you'd like and you should get the same service from each one. I hope that helps to answer that question for you!
