I learned from a fellow Corvette Club member (I also own a 427 Lingenfelter convertible Corvette) in my town about this "paid for" driving school (w/the purchase of a new '25 CT5-V Blackwing). Neither my salesman nor anyone at the dealership mentioned this!?
My questions are (after going on SM's website). FYI. I've called there twice with no return calls.
Is it complimentary? All expenses paid? If you decline is the dealership credited for the value (i.e. $ additional profit for selling you the vehicle. Probably makes for a good reason why they don't tell you).
The website "seems" to indicate accommodations and two meals per day are included). Obviously travel expenses to get there are on the participant(s).
So what's the "latest" since I can't get a return call?
Thanks,
Steve.
 
Yes expenses are covered except for a few meals and your flight/rental car. Not sure why the salesperson wouldn't have told you. I don't believe they get any kickbacks from it, but I can't say for sure. It might just be an off day for them or something. They answered the first time I called. Make sure you have your VIN handy when you call.
 
My salesperson mentioned to me and I offered back to donate it to him because of his hard work and being an enthusiast himself. I wouldn't be attending despite being complimentary and very beneficial.

Nobody at my dealer knew about the program. I don't think they move many V cars. I had to educate them on the program then they tried to use it as a selling point telling me what a bargain I was getting. :rolleyes:
 
It cost GM $4000 for the 2 day course. I was able to get a room on site. Ask SM if one is available. They are owned by SM members and they will rent it out ( I guess) so SM participants can use it. Mine was very nice. Its very convenient if you can just stay on site. The other hotels are a few miles away. They have complimentary breakfast and lunch in the Club House. They also have/had a pistol range when I was there, that I did not know about until I was leaving. I was also hitting up Las Vegas that is about an hour drive away and brought my 9mm with me. There were hundreds of Vettes there (different school) and only 20 Blackwings. 10 CT4-BW and 10 CT5-BW's. Half were manual and half were automatic. There is a Walmart and other stores nearby for fastfood.
