Default Pace Car in a Box.....What do you think?!

This is the time of year that inventory demands are tough. Nobody can ever predict what to have and when to have it in regards to the right packaged cars at the right time.

We try hard though and in an effort to help those considering the great values presented on 2008 Model Close-outs here at EVS.

A client made a comment in searching for a Black 3LT, Z51 coupe...and saiud "too bad that is a pace car!" Hummm we said and here you go.

A Black Coupe, 3LT pkg, Z51, 2 tone seats and more.....4 to choose from if you wish....here is one if care not to honor Indy for the next several years.

Thank-you for the input that allowed us to do this...thank-you for your feedback to follow.

















No dis-respect to Indy fans, as I am one of them...we left the metal emblem on the front fender and of course the autograph is still inside the center console and the Indy logo sewn on the headrest!

Looks better!

I think you guys should stop buying pace cars! Those things obviously don't sell very well.

I'm waiting on even better deals for 09s

That is a neat deal. If I wanted a black coupe I would be all over that. You get the special seats, emblems and Fittipaldi's signature. No, none of it is a "big deal" but it's a little something special and worth having IMO.

So Rick, Is there some other site where all your inventory can be seen?

Good marketing. You did a nice job cleaning the car up for a real buyer. The pace cars are always kind of cool at a race but it would be a little hard to live with all that advertising on a daily basis.

It should open up the market quite a bit and help you guys move the inventory a lot faster. If it works, you can run around and buy up deeply discounted pace cars out of dealer inventory because they may not know how to get rid of them.

Now for the $64 question: Is whoever ordered all those orange 2007 pace cars still constructively employed at EVS? If so, it seems like you guys should have great job security even if you don't sell any cars this year.
