no way in hell.... i found my z06 when i was 19 and the salesman laughed at me when i asked to take it around the block. came back 2 days later with my dad and test drove it then. car was what i expected and more so signed the papers and was on my way. got my vette a day after i turned 20. my dad did get to drive the vette home though but i needed him to even get a salesman to talk to me. the dealerships always let my parents get to take home vehicles, lightning, mustangs gt, suburban and the sierra 3500... the only one they didnt keep was the lightning but at least they got to drive it around to mae the decision

^ i wouldnt have bought the car from them. if they dont take me seriously they dont get my business.
i've walked away from a few cars i liked cause they salesman laughed at me or wouldnt come help me, i'd ask for the manager, tell him how they just lost a sale. and go buy the same car somewhere else

Put another 20 years under your belt, and take a look from the salesman's shoes though. How many 19-20 yr olds would YOU trust with the keys to a Corvette that they don't own yet? Especially if they don't know you personally.
My answer would be zero. Would you let a 16 yr old kid valet park your new Corvette?

im 23 and rolled up in my brothers 1991 honda civic 4door lowered on steelie rims and some ghetto cat back exhaust and walked right up to my vette in jeans and a beat up white tshirt. No one wanted to talk to me until I met a salesmen that actually treated me like I was there to buy. Goodthing he was nice, I wrote a check the next day for the car.
