"A dealership was servicing a Torch Red C8"

"Servicing"? It looks like the whole front of the car is pulled off? "Overhauling" this Blunder Motors admission of failure to European Autos is more like it.

Has new c8 but can't put a roof on his garage?

The C8 has specific lift points which must be used unless you're interested in body work practice. The customer wants a new car, I don't know how it's going to work out.

He'll get it.

From the dealer that damaged it? I know he wants the new one when it comes out, can't remember the designation, ZO6?

The dealer that damaged it. The Vette that was dropped is totaled. They, and their insurance company, only owe him Actual Cash Value. From the dealer's standpoint, if anyone there has 2 brain cells to rub together, the damage to their reputation that they will suffer because of this if they don't replace it is not worth the few bucks they would save by not doing so. Huge PR win if the dealer just replaces it with a new one with the same options, but if he didn't have a Z06 before, they shouldn't give him a new Z06. They can, I suppose, but they shouldn't, and they likely won't. Just give him the same model that he had.

True, but they can give the man a 2021.

Grizzly is big & bad like Alan Ladd.......................

Why is that rear lift arm swung out? Should be locks to keep that from happening. Did someone swing that out after the car fell or ???

So...since I'm lift shopping I'll try to get this thread out of the ditch (jeez fellas)...I have worked under an old school air over hydraulic center post lift, skateboard lift, two post and traditional 4 post drive on lift. We won't even talk about the center post lift, what a nightmare, the skateboard lift was ok unless someone came in with no back brakes and you didn't find out until the car drove off the end of the lift, two posts are ok but the heavier the vehicle the more nervous they made me and I never trusted storing a car under one, just me I guess, which brings us to 4 post...which is what I want...leaning toward Atlas or Bend Pak...and thoughts?

The dealership hopefully with just make it right with cash or new car or whatever. No BS. Tech or Techs should be held accountable. What I see in my town with dealerships the Techs are off limits to disciplinary action and accountability.

He would be paying the deductible where I work and many dealerships have huge deductibles, like $30K. Most guys would just quit at this point and move on.

he is entitled to the value of the car before it was damaged, no more

Per GM: We are not going to build all of the 2020 orders," GM spokesman Kevin Kelly said, adding that GM would work with affected customers and dealers to offer a 2021 option.

the more extreme the owners request for reimbursement the less likely they are to help him.

honestly if this were my car my first request would be another 2020 corvette....even though they are no longer available from gm, if they pony up the $$$ they can be bought for over msrp from flippers.
with it being a new model car in limited production they will be worth $$$ as a collectable car in the future.

This car will be a collectable, probably why GM wouldn't fill all the orders. If it were mine I'd want another one just like it.
