Is this a joke?

Define ''if you aern't satisfied''.

There must be a clause where it states that the car must of had one mechanical problem or something.

Or else I'm going to be driving a Z06 Vette for a few months

I'm sure there are some strings attached or something that makes it a pain in the ass, but think about it.

You've got to go and negotiate the price of the car, pick out what you want, set up payment, etc. Then after 2 months look someone in the eye and tell them you've ragged their car and used them and now you want your money back. It wouldn't be as easy as it sounds.

I'm really thinking of getting a Vette, and ragging on it for a couple of months...

The only "string attach" thing I can think of, is that you have to literally bring it back the way you bought it. They would be nick picking on dings and dents, including not getting involved in accidents. And depending on where you live, a lot of things can happen in 60 days.

I expect a lot of cheap bastards doing this with the intention of returning it, despite loving the car. Sad.

You guys have to remember, there are people who would actually buy cars like the ZR1 so what's left are probably Cobalts or the low demand cars for people to test out.
