At my local GM outlet yesterday for a part, checked out the showroom, they had beautiful black '06 Z06 coupe, looked at the sticker, 59K base, 69K as shown, OK I can see that. Here's the punchline, 20K N.W. market adjust!!! 90K +- , now that's funny

Bill Heard Chevy just called me 20 min ago to see if I was still looking for a vette. I said wow, you just called me back now? I was looking 3 weeks ago. He said, well we have the first 07 Z06 if you want it. I said , sorry bought an 01 . Plus Im not paying 100k for a car. They wanted 15k ADM. (Additional Dealer Markup).

Zilla, you really need to see if they're taking applications for an additional moderator. Your talents are obviously going to waste here on all us dummies who don't understand where what needs to be posted.

There is, or at least was, a yellow 06 Zo6 coupe at the Mckinney Texas Chevy dealer (El Darado Chevrolet) about one month ago. Stickered at $70,140 and had sell price of $80,141. I thought that was bad.
