2004 Z06 price flashback
Just thought you guys might be interested in seeing this. I found this "dealer market adjustment" tag attached to the window sticker for the 2004 Z06 I bought last year. I wonder if the original owner actually paid close to that price.
Were dealers actually scalping Z's in 2004?

They were going for a lot below list right at the beginning of the model year. The dealers were trying to sell enough cars to boost/keep their allocations so they could get more C6s the following year. Same thing happened in 96 just before the C5 came out.

That's common practice here in Houston at Landmark Chevy(commonly referred to as Landshark Chevy) and Parkway Chevy; it really stinks that some people actually think they have to pay it. When looking for a c6 I couldn't find anything local that compared to the prices from the vendors here on this forum.

Bill Heard does that and then tries to sell at list after giving you the 10k off! I looked at that particular dealership when I was shopping and comparing vettes in Dec 2003. I finally bought at Demondtrond, although I had a backup car and internet quote from Landmark to help drive the negotiations.

If someone paid $10K over MSRP for a Z in '04, they deserve to be taken.
