George J Saliba's Corvette negotiation gets a reminder from Mom

Modified parts complicate the appraisal, but an unfinished piece of an earlier Audi deal helps settle the price.

Was His Corvette REALLY Worth This Much?!

George J Saliba wants the Corvette returned to stock. The seller wants to keep its aftermarket parts. Then the seller's mother brings up something that isn't on the car at all: a promised credit from an earlier deal.

That's the extra wrinkle in "Was His Corvette REALLY Worth This Much?!", a dealership Short that has drawn about 224,000 views in 11 hours, well ahead of Saliba's usual opening pace.

The white Chevrolet has one feature firmly in its favor. Checking wholesale values on a phone, Saliba says, "Thank God it's a manual car." Its modifications are another matter. He explains that he's tired of buying modified cars, and his offer depends on the cost of transporting it to a performance shop and putting the original equipment back on.

The seller's mother then reminds him of a previous Audi RS 5 transaction and money that was supposed to carry over to another car. The seller folds that reminder into his final counteroffer, and they shake on $54,000, with the Corvette to be returned to stock.

Viewers are picking apart the same practical question as the negotiation: are the modifications a selling point or a cost to undo? Some argue that including the original parts should help the sale; others question the labor involved in swapping them back. Saliba's own final assessment is less mechanical: saying goodbye, he jokes that he was low-key afraid of the seller's mother.

What viewers say

I feel like you just don’t advertise it right, yes lots of people would want it stock but having the all the stock parts pretty much makes up for it. If anything that’s an add on.
