#182 of 221 Z06 Should Be Below MSRP by pony_pirate Dec 30, 2006 (12:30 am)
Dealers are offering MSRP, which means buyers should be pushing for and getting below MSRP. Replies to this message: draconian (Dec 31, 2006 8:56 am) bolivar (Dec 31, 2006 7:26 pm) draconian (Jan 01, 2007 8:11 am) starrow68 (Jan 03, 2007 1:37 pm) pony_pirate (Jan 05, 2007 10:07 am)

Replying to: pony_pirate (Dec 30, 2006 12:30 am) Absolutely NOT...A fair market price asked for and received preserves the investment many have made and will continue to make in the Z06! What you argue for goes counter to what we believe in. Save the below MSRP talk for the run of the mill Toyotas and Hondas and Please don't even broach the thought of devaluing such an American icon again.

Replying to: draconian (Dec 31, 2006 8:56 am) I'll see your Z06 MSRP and raise it a thousand. Replies to this message: draconian (Jan 01, 2007 8:11 am)

Replying to: bolivar (Dec 31, 2006 7:26 pm) LOL, I very much like your sense of humor. My written words almost never seem to carry the intended tone; all too often they seem dry and abrupt...hence my given monicker. Your light hearted response is well received...it sets the tone for the coming year nicely indeed! Happy new year!!

Replying to: draconian (Dec 31, 2006 8:56 am) The only problem with icon status is time. The C5 started out over MSRP, and by the end of the run I got one for the wife at $11.6k off. The C5 Z followed the same trend and was selling at those discounts by the time the C6 was in the wings. What this does to the values paid earlier in the process is well documented and should be part of any one's analysis. While putting the finger in the dike may work once in awhile it is probably unwise to expect the wall of water to stop because you think it should. Time will reveal what we get them for in the future and if the 600hp Viper and Blue Devil are real, who can say. Randy

Replying to: draconian (Dec 31, 2006 8:56 am) Get used to it, Z06's are selling for MSRP and less. The intial glow is off the rose. The initial rush of buyers who must have the car at any price is over. Z's are sitting on lots. I've checked out other forums and done some shopping, both online and in person. Probably will wait for the '08 model: more power, further improvements (no shifter rattle, paint peeling off the roof, etc.!)   Went thru the same thing w/ my Mustang GT Premium. Was happy to get it at MSRP in late '05 (most dealers were asking $5k markups), now see them discounted at $2500 below MSRP. Of course, that lessens resale value, but I've had enjoyment of the car all along.   A new car is not an investment. You want an investment, keep your money in the bank. If you want to live in the fast lane, you gotta pay.

One of the dealers in the Bay Area came on a forum and said to get your new Vette, they would deal. When asked about the Z06 they said they had 6 to order and would take MSRP. That's without any negotiation, between the price increase by GM and the filling of backlog demand it seems they can build as many as people are currently willing to pay the price for. Good luck to those still wanting more HP. I'll stick with my old 350hp and have a good time at the track, Laguna Seca on Monday. Happy New Year, all! Randy

Anyone having a metallic rattle sound coming from their Z06 gear shifter? This happens when it is cold and lasts for about 15 minutes until it warms up. I have contacted GM about it, they say it is "normal". Replies to this message: pony_pirate (Feb 16, 2007 9:19 pm)

Replying to: pony_pirate (Nov 16, 2006 5:30 pm) The Z06, btw, out-performs many of the cars in the stratosphere, such as the Ferrari F430 Spider ($205,000)   Not According to Car&Driver. 1st Place, F430 - 2nd 911T 3rd-Z06 The 911 had the disadvantage of AWD.   link title   Regards, OW Replies to this message: ruking1 (Apr 03, 2007 9:19 am) circlew (Apr 03, 2007 11:09 am) ruking1 (Apr 03, 2007 11:19 am) and 4 more... bolivar (Apr 03, 2007 9:23 pm)
