Rick, it's because of your blunt honesty, is why I bought my first Corvette from you! It's sad dealerships are making statements or promises that's not true, very sad! People, please trust me, when you want to buy a Corvette from an honest and true sales representative, get with Rick! Also if people can't handle the true.....I have a saying, if you can't hack it, grab your jacket! Keep up the great work Rick!
This was an awesome video showing how honest of a dealership and person you are. My first experience was with a dishonest dealership in georgia where I live that lied to me telling me they could get me a 2023 corvette only to find out they did not have an allocation but was more then happy to take my deposit. I ended up finding my 2023 corvette in Indiana on a lot with the same exact specs I wanted and for msrp. We need more honest people like you in the business Rick! I'm so glad I found your youtube channel .
Rick, your honesty and integrity is what makes your channel the best. It is sad that your great attributes are not the norm but are the exception. It wasn't always that way. Thank you!!
Common sense, prudent judgement, honesty and transparency. Thanks Rick. We appreciate you no end. It's almost inconceivable there are people out there this clueless. Deep breath and we're all laughing at him together.
Rick just keep doing what you know what is right don’t let this stuff bother you keep doing these phenomenal videos and everybody loves this channel🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
When money is involved everyone wants to take advantage of others…amazing the stuff some folks believe 😛 just crazy what you have to deal with some times 🤦🤦🤦
Hey Rick! Great finally meeting you at the Caravan! I'll be up next weekend for the event you're having. Still looking for a C6 LT3 (prefer '12 or '13) or C7 LT 2 or 3, triple black, manual. See you next weekend!😊
Hey Rick - I’ve got a C9 on order, hoping to use your employee discount on it, then flip it. How much can I make on it!? 😂😂😂 That guy is a clown. Sorry you have to deal with that stuff brother!
WoW!!! So the knucklehead fell into the social media trap and still arguing with you about it! Anyway, Rick, thank you for being professional because I'm pretty sure at times it could be very stressful.
I think people forget you sell cars and are ‘just a you tuber’. Your subscribers, and those who have watched you at least once, realize that ‘you tubing’ is your part time gig (although you make it look so easy and I KNOW it is very time consuming). Keep doing what you’re doing brother! MRSP…geez!
Hi Rick, I'm sad to hear that you have to deal with these kind of people. Although it's good to see you're having a little fun with this guy. You don't have to prove anything to your fans: we know who you are, where you are, and how you operate (All integrity and no BS!) just keep doing what you're doing, and more people will come to their senses.
Just continue to do what you do! You can't help whatever the other questionable dealers do. And to think someone truly believes they can get the car. !
I had a dealer try to get me to put a deposit on a C9 already. So I assume he should not be doing that either? He said I don't want to be paying a $20K markup like they were doing on the C8's so it is best to get in very early. That one was going to at MSRP with no mark ups but he won't know the actual number for a long time. He claimed the car market is different and he is trying to help buyers avoid markups buy taking super early deposits. Can he do that or no?
Why? It’ll make it faster, quicker, hook up better, etc. I’m pretty sure Zora would want to use all innovation to creat the best and fastest vehicle possible. It’s not an “electric” car.
I really like Rick and his brutal honesty. When the time comes for me, I hope to be able to order my car through him. I know I will be treated correct and not jacked around by these guys at these local dealers.
This guy in the voice mail worked for GM and is retired? He is very old and forgetful... then Oh my gosh ... dealers taking his money on cars that cannot even be ordered.. and worse, there is no release date to the dealers to even sell a ZORA. If someone puts down $1000 or $5000 or $10,000 on a car that does not even exist yet, you better hope its on a credit card where you might get your money back. Problem is they will tell you they order it and you are committed to the order. There is no order. The car is really prototype still. Yes, there might be 100 driving around with GM employees, but if Mary has a bad day she can say stop the project and no cars will be built.
Man he is getting a good deal. I would have did 3K over MRSP!!! All jokes aside I feel bad someone could mislead someone like this, but the consumer does need to be somewhat knowledgeable about the product he has deposit to buy. Actually, wait Chevrolet has never announced this vehicle!!!
Just bought my zora from a nice guy in Africa. Might have to get passed emissions somehow? Any way I sent him my non refundable 25k deposit. I will be the first one in USA to have the car!! You guys are all suckers. Hahahaha
I think I understand why he is a former manager….. Some people will believe anything. Too bad a dealer did that to him and would probably do that to anyone else that would fall for that pitch. You are the opposite of that kind of dealer! The truth sometimes is difficult to hear but all I can say is “Wow”! Maybe he was drinking?
Can’t fix stupid. lol. Having said that have not heard much, basically nothing, seeming a logical model coming that has been hinted about, but now over shadowed by ZR1 and now ZORA. would be a widebody stingray AKA grand sport, basically an eray minus the E, same look as ZO6 and eray with stingray drive train, as much as I want a ZR1 and will try and get one locally to me, is not very realistic. Honestly I have a ZO6 and I like it, them 5.5 engine is cool and sounds good, but an also like my stingray 6.2 it sounds like a more traditional muscle V8 and now you can do so much to a 6.2 to make it your own, I will buy a grand sport if that comes any time soon, seems like the natural progression, stingray sales are flatting out, people like myself just looking for something else cool / different to buy, and as few ZR1s as there likely will be, something like a Widebody GS makes perfect sense for next update/ model, something the is obtainable to most people, as cool as eray is, I personally don’t need or car about AWD. I would rather save that extra cost of an eray and spend it on goodies on a Grand Sport. This call today way good for a laugh at days end. Take care and thanks for sharing!
OMG, the BS you put up with! It's a shame that some people abuse you this way when all you are trying to do is sell Vettes and keep the Vette community updated. I could not put up with the s**t that you do. Try to forget about these morons and have a good day.
work in the pharmacy business..... There is NO cure for stupid! - Great vid Rick as you do not want to go down the road to save the country and its dealings with GM. Keep steady and work those sales....... all a ZORA car will be is more constraints. BRING BACK THE WORM!
You just have to tell guys like that, "Sorry, I can't help you with that..." and then block his number. Not like he would ever be a good customer, no matter the future circumstances. That's like the guy who goes into the repair shop and wants the tech to tell him how to fix it himself.
I'm need an allocation fir a ZR1, so I can flip it. Then get an allocation for a Zora, so I can flip it. After that, I can spend all the profit on the new special edition C8 Corvette that Rick has been hinting at over the last few months.
I am so lucky. Not only do I have an order for a Zora for $10K under MSRP, the timing couldn’t be better as I am getting $100 million dollars from a Nigerian Prince. How lucky can one man get!
I believe you have been the victim of either a man with mental health issues or of his own significant ignorance. Please be considerate of Rick’s time. Time is money when you are working for a living.
Was that Twin Peaks at the end? Rick, whatever you do, steer clear of the Black Lodge and its 2025 Zora brain damage. Signed, the Log Lady 🪵👵 p.s. The owls aren’t what they seem.

I’ll just be happy when pricing for the ZR1 is announced to crush my dreams and I can stop drooling. 😂😂😂
I agree, if you want a C8 Corvette “GET RICK!”
“Stay Crispy” my friends!
@@Super8creations 👊👊👊thanks my friend
Worked serving The Public for many years.
After a certain point nothing seems to be surprising anymore Rick. Remember that its all a numbers game.
I love ur honesty. Love u
I feel you man!!

I put a deposit on a C9. 2028
Oh yeah, My Zora C9 will be delivered in 2034.......
Gotta be careful of the "click baiters" out there on RUclips. Thanks for being "REAL" Rick

Thanks for keeping it real Rick….
Guys why go to another dealer Rick Conti is the man. He puts his life blood into Corvette give him the business he deserves it
Happy Saturday Ricky and Family.
I wouldn't be quite so polite to someone like that. He would get a response starting with F and ending with Off. 🤣
😂😂😂 “buy dinner for your STATE” was awesome I may have to borrow that
Absolutely clueless dude! Unbelievable! Thanks for all the accurate info!
Mr. Conti Thanks for keeping it real!! Zora really!! Life's a Dream, Drive it!!👍🏽👊🏽
Good morning Mr Rick Corvette Conti, I like your new wheels..."Crispy!"
I'll take it off his hands

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that he's an Ex-Dealer employee.
Repeat after me brother Rick “I have no idea best of luck to you”
You have a world of patience dealing with these people

Well it’s gotta be a Zora, those ones have “Zs” on the steering wheel. 😉
Did he also tell you that he's 1st on the list for a C9 LOL What a nut job.
Bahahaha, what a clown! 😂
Did I hear that correctly, that the Zora car would be a hybrid version of the ZR1? Kind of a slap in the face to the legend in my opinion
Why? It’ll make it faster, quicker, hook up better, etc. I’m pretty sure Zora would want to use all innovation to creat the best and fastest vehicle possible. It’s not an “electric” car.
If they only knew of the looney tunes you have to deal with on a daily basis! You could start a whole new channel!🤔🤯😂
C’mon Rick negotiate on a car for me from your competitor! Btw, the car doesn’t exist. 😂. I know you’re not busy😁
Can you believe the kanikas on that fool! Lol ❤❤❤😂😂😂
😂😂😂 this made my week lol.
What is with these dorks? Take his credit card number and charge him $19.99 a minute 😂!!
713 number? Hope it's not a local Houston dealer, although I could think of a couple dealers that might try that! 😂
No I blocked it all there is a 7 and a 3 😂
@@RickCorvetteContiI thought I heard a 7 and 1 of his number before you cut it off! 😂
Good day to all? 💙🧜♀️
Is the dealership he is working with in Nigeria and is his auto warranty already expired?
I really like Rick and his brutal honesty. When the time comes for me, I hope to be able to order my car through him. I know I will be treated correct and not jacked around by these guys at these local dealers.
Rick most of us that follow you pretty much know that the Zora won't be ready for a few years just like ZR1 isn't coming out till next year.
Tadge stated the ZR1 would be the highest HP C8 though? Because of that I was thinking Z06 engine with E Ray front electric AWD at around 850hp?
I’m picking up an Eray here in Toronto this week. What’s your best video on the important proper break-in period? ♥️❤️
That guy had the ZR1 mixed up with the Zora. He meant ZR1. But still a certified goofball.
I bet a Nigerian Prince has confirmed the validity of his deposit on a Zora...lmao.
Tell him to sell it for 10K total. LMAO!!!!!
There is people that still don't have z06
This guy in the voice mail worked for GM and is retired? He is very old and forgetful... then Oh my gosh ... dealers taking his money on cars that cannot even be ordered.. and worse, there is no release date to the dealers to even sell a ZORA.

Hey Rick, ask him to drive you to that Arizona beachfront after he gets the car and California falls into the ocean.
If that’s truly what the dealership told him, that dealership should be out of business.
Man he is getting a good deal. I would have did 3K over MRSP!!! All jokes aside I feel bad someone could mislead someone like this, but the consumer does need to be somewhat knowledgeable about the product he has deposit to buy. Actually, wait Chevrolet has never announced this vehicle!!!
It’s very sad how greedy dealers can be to take advantage of people.
😂😂😂👍👍

Just…………🤦🏻♂️
When will 2025 models start rolling in lots for custom order ? On average ?
Hey Rick, give us ALL his text number. Please, we could use some fun!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣cant did that back in my radio days and got in big trouble

Just bought my zora from a nice guy in Africa. Might have to get passed emissions somehow? Any way I sent him my non refundable 25k deposit. I will be the first one in USA to have the car!! You guys are all suckers. Hahahaha
Does he have another?
Some guys have all the luck! 😳
Part of dealing with John q public.

I got $6K over
MRSP omg and he’s been in the business for a very long time that ain’t good. I was literally screaming at my phone. It’s MSRP
