Horrible Service at Sewell Infiniti of Dallas
#16
Congrats on your new Corvette - I too, had a 2005 Black Corvette, one of the best cars I've ever owned. They also have a very, very large following (forum). You will be greeted (a wave, thumbs up, headlight flash) from every other Corvette owner on the road. It's the most amazing thing I've experienced as a car owner.
Personally speaking, I think you did much better - forget the Infiniti - enjoy the Corvette.

It was a two year lease (15K miles a year; residual value was horrible after two years and GMAC had a fairly high money factor rate which equalled a fairly high monthly payment). However, driving the Corvette for 30K miles was priceless. You will love the C6; ton's of power and handles like it's on rails. If you've never driven one, the power is unbelieveable!
The G37S is a great car, but it does not even come close to the performance and style of the Corvette.
Have fun with it...

Just wanted to give everybody an update
2 years later and I am the proud owner of a 2010 G37. Honestly I am very happy with the way everything turned out. I got to enjoy an awesome car (vette) for two years and now I get to enjoy the G.
It was the best experience I have ever had buying a car. I did all the dealing online(first time I've negotiated the price onilne) and I was at the dealer less than 2 hours. This included Test Driving, financing and delivery. I dealt with Dan Fletcher from Crest Infiniti in Plano.
I gotta take more pictures in daylight. Also these are the chrome wheels which are not the wheels I am going to have, I am going to have the stock 19's. but they didnt have time to swap them out for me so I have to take it back next week.
I am extremely happy with my decision on this car. One thing I do miss is the pickup and go from the vette... lol

Thanks for all the encouraging words guys. It's all good. I am having tons of fun with the vette! With my history if trading in cars I know I will be in the market again in about 3 years. I did file a complain with Infiniti but no one has bothered to call or send a letter. One other car I was also thinking about was the IS from Lexus.
btw here is a picture of my new ride :-)

Asked the sales lady for a specific car that I wanted. Did all my research prior to going to the dealership. She says she has one in stock. I tell her I have outside financing and all I have to do is pick the car I want and trade my car in. Tell her I am not there to play games and I am ready to purchase the car. I don't need to test drive it since I had test driven the car already.
She comes back with 49k and change with TTL and negative equity on my Jetta (Offered me 13,000k when car max offered me 15,500) on a vehicle of msrp of 42k and change. Tell her she is way off on both the price of the car and trade in. She goes to talk to her "Manager". He comes out and starts bsing....
Specifically told the guy what I wanted. Ivory Pearl G37 Premium Package and Iliminated kickplates, the only thing that was negotiable was the color and only to a Red one if they did not have IP. The guy offers me Graphite. Tell him I don't want graphite I specifically told him what I wanted and he then offers me a Sedan. I asked him if he had listened to what I told him! He said he didnt need to put up with my attitude and walked off ripping into shreds the "offer". Needless to say I didnt buy Infiniti and I am the proud owner of an 05 Vette with 9600 miles.
I was really dissapointed in their service. Im 28 and I was wearing a regular polo with jeans and a five a clock shadow and trading in my 07 Jetta.... he must have assumed that I could not afford the car and I was wasting his time. His loss!
BTW nothing against the car! Still think it's hot as hell. But I got a good deal on a Vette and went with that instead. Maybe in a couple of years I will give Infiniti another try.
Just wanted to post this here if anybody at Infiniti reads this. I called the Customer Relations department and she said she would forward the report.

I traded the Vette in for the G Friday :-). Best of both worlds, got to Drive a Vette for two Years. Now I get to experience the G. Also I don't have a first generation vehicle so some of the kinks have been worked out on it.

Wow crazy story but you definitely did the right thing back then (and now...enjoy the G!) I'm 33 and look like I'm 20 so when I bought my G I dealt with 7 different dealers over the internet and did all my negotiating that way. Certain dealers did a great and HONEST job of how long it would take to get the car and price and others basically just threw everyone else under the bus and tried to sell me the car I didn't want at an overpriced amount.
I actually had one dealer tell me the car and options I wanted didn't exist anywhere in North America. The next dealer I talked to had 2 in stock. They held the vehicle for me and had it ready to go when I showed up to pick it up.
Again congrats on the G.
