roof question

odd dog · 12-31-2012, 12:41 PM

Hi Trading in my 2007 for a 2013 and the dealer is telling me that my transparent roof from the '07 will not fit the '13 is that true? Was trying to keep the old transparent roof and not order a new "dual roof" package...so not sure if they are telling the truth or just want me to order the roof package on the new one, any info you guys have would help. Thanks!

Your dealer is either nuts,trying to get over on you or doesn't know Vettes.Yes your roof will work.No difference in them at all.

Personally I'd either go to a different dealer or speak to the manager about the salesman. Or both.

Maybe the dealer is thinking C7?

Sad to say it was the OWNER (probably general manager the man had about as much customer service skills as a skunk) Long story short I ordered a Grand Sport (heritage package) back on Nov. 1st. Called Dec. 31 just to see when the car would be in, NOW they tell me the factory did not build and they are "finding" me a car (they did BUT it is NOT a heritage package car, they have to put on the rims, colored calipers, stripes etc.) OK I could live with that AFTER causing a scene in the dealership (which amazingly they did not seem to care about) SO anyway the car they found had the double roof package which I did not order and will not pay for so the "owner" told me you cant keep your top from the old vette it will not fit...BS I thought and just wanted to check with you guys. Now I find it too late to go to another dealership since the C6 production is coming to an end....HATE THIS DEALER BUT need the car.........Happy New Year to me (need to invent a sarcastic font!! LOL)

Post the dealerships name so we can let everyone know where "not" to buy a car. Also, get in touch with "corporate".

Call me jaded but I don't think "corporate" would give a hoot. I WILL post after I get the car (I am up against a wall with these people and want the car WITHOUT anymore problems) Hint I now live in eastern Mass............
