Dilemma-I'm not a yellow Vette guy, but found a leftover
For those that are tired of my rantings and indecision about a new Z06; preferably a leftover 2016.
I just found a leftover with the following configuration. The dealer wants 76.3.
Destination Charge $995.00 Installed Options
MSRP* $103,410.00
Now, I am not a yellow Corvette kinda guy, except that for some unknown reason I do like the looks of the yellow C7.R.
Does the collective have opinions about how difficult it would be to make the above non-C7.R model look like a C7.R?
And for those who hate chrome wheels, I do lean in that direction.
I'll be back soon (gotta catch the cat (Dawg) to take him for a clipping).

Either like the color or move on. Honestly there's no point in saving money by buying a color you do not like. What if you never like it? What if a few months in you're upside down on it, owe way more than it's worth and still don't like the color?
I had a yellow C6, loved it. But if you don't like the yellow, and don't grow to like it in a few days, pass.
Just my opinion, but to spend this kind of money on a toy, you've got to REALLY love that toy, or at least you should!
That said, Yellow is awesome. I go back and forth between Torch Red and Velocity Yellow in the years they offer one or the other when I buy.

I got almost the same package, but the car is black. MSRP of 102k and I got it for 82k. I love my car. If I didn't like the color, I would just get it wrapped in a different color.

That is a very good deal. I almost purchased a yellow Zo6 had I found this deal it would be done. Went GS Zo7.
They are beautiful. I traded a yellow ZL1. You will be one of few with this combo.
IMO - BUY IT!!!!!

That is a smokin deal but i agree with dave.. 80k is too much money to spend on a car that you dont 100% love
If it helps Yellow is my favorite color on the C7Z, but i knew that i would personally grow tired of it quickly so i went a SG

I think this car wears yellow the best. Of course I didn't get yellow because I'd have a thousand tickets by now as opposed to one which already went away.
Looks like a great deal. I'd get it and if you don't love the yellow just wrap it. I'd be happy to do an art car wrap for you if you've got $3k lying around. Almost done with our Tahoe...
Best,
Gene

Had a yellow 2103 427 and LOVED the color. I think the orange and yellow Z06's are the best looking ones out there. Only reason I didn't get yellow this time (it was my 1st choice-----as I already had the sneakers and shirts to match) was because the small dealer that gave me a great deal on 427 trade (big dealer was off by some $15K) only had one Z06 on hand---torch red.

As I said, I am not a yellow Corvette kinda guy. That said, it is #4 on my list if it looks like a C7.R. My preferences are
1. Long Beach Red
1. Midnight Rose Metallic (tied for first)
3. One of the darker blues or maybe white with a good contrasting interior.
4. C7.R Yellow
The reason for my thinking ... MY thinking..., do I want a sports car or a race car; when the only difference between the two is color? In MY mind, yellow is a race car while my other preferences are sports car colors.
I know, I know ( and my mother did NOT have me tested)

I hadn't a 104kmsrp and pick it up for 81. That being said your deal is one of the best ones iv scene, yellow? Eeh not my color but to wrap your car it's 4-5k (but then you'd be at a 20%off msrp which is standard for a leftover) so if you like the options and can swing yellow I'd do it. Honestly I'd live with it and make the best of it

I don't understand...after Transmission, Color is the next Top priority, at least for me.
If *I* found a car in the 4th ranking color on my list, I don't think I would even entertain the idea of buying it. This is a huge, purely for fun, type of purchase. Why not wait and get exactly what you are looking for?
