Bayside Chevrolet

My name is Mark B, and on Monday September 15th 2025, I drove 2 hrs from my home to Bayside Chevrolet @ " 109 Auto drive, Prince Frederick Md, 20678, and purchased a new 2025 Corvette Eray. Red mist metallic. VIN:1G1YM3D43S5502330. I traded in my new, two week old 2025 Corvette Eray. Rapid Blue. Vin :1G1YL2D4XS5503083. I only owned that car for two weeks, and it only had a total of 67 miles before driving it to the Bayside dealership. My car was always garage kept and in brand new mint condition. First, I want to say my salesman Dallas Roberts was very nice, as well as the Sales Managers, Shane Hammett, and Jay Wedick. BUT, I am very upset, and dissatisfied. I feel taken advantage of on my trade in car value. My trade in car was a 2025 Corvette, and had a new sticker price of $127,565. Only 2 weeks old, and 67 miles. Bayside Chevrolet Dealership only gave me a trade in value of $106,000 for my car. That is a difference of $21,565. I feel for my car having ONLY 67 miles before I drove it to the dealership, that the trade in value was extremely low, and not fair. I expressed my disappointment in the trade in value to the sales staff before I signed any paperwork. And I politely said to them, that I would be giving a negative review because of my trade in value on the customer GM review experience. I was hoping the dealership would have said to me how can we make your Bayside experience better. But the response to my disappointment from Sales manager Shane Hammett was, "that's what happens when a new car is driven off the lot". Sales manager Jay Wedick said to me as I was leaving the dealership after the deal was done, "Try not to beat us down too much on my GM review. Also at Bayside Chevrolet, I did apply my GM discount towards my purchase, as I worked at the GM automotive plant in Wilmington Delaware. As a past GM employee, I'm ashamed of how I was treated in this Bayside car purchase. The GM discount had nothing to do with my trade in value. Bayside Chevrolet sales managers absolutely knew what kind of an amazing car I was trading in. My car is now listed on the Bayside Chevrolet website, and I saw their comment describing my car. This is what they said about it. I quote: "A truly rare find, this like new One Owner 2025 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2LZ has just 151 miles and is virtually showroom fresh. The original owner opted for a different color, creating a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after Corvettes available today without the wait." Also the listing says "Our Promise - Simple. Honest, Fair " Not to mention my trade in car is being listed at $115,000, and I was only given $106,000. A $9,000 difference. In closing, the sales staff at your dealership knew I was buying this new 2025 Corvette as a surprise for my wife, and they knew that I really wanted it for her. I have to say, if I wasn't buying this car for her, I would not have purchased it because of my trade in car value. Unfortunately, I won't be purchasing any future cars from Bayside Chevrolet. I will be letting my family and friends know about my experience at Bayside Chevrolet. As well as telling my friends at the " Cars and coffee" classic and vintage car gathering in Hunt Valley MD. This is held every Saturday. Thank you for having this platform to explain my experience at Bayside Chevrolet Sincerely Mark B

Made a very reasonable offer on a Corvette that wasn't accepted. They raised the price the very next day and have not sold the car 2 weeks later. Their loss. Found a better car for a better price.

Josh , Mike, and Corey were very nice and helpful through out the process. Thanks It was a great experience.
