Was at Coggins Chev in Orlando, FL today. $10,000 over msrp for a Mag Red Convert......................$72,000

Aftermarket brakes 1500.00 (500.00 if you buy 0n your own)
Extended warranty or other dealer BS 2000.00
Could still be MSO and sold as new.

And now to my point.

If someone comes in and wants to buy the 'Vette .. but are upsidedown in their car (as most are) then the dealers lender will look at the FULL (dealers) price of the 'Vette and base the deal on that.

Example: you have 50m mile 2002 C5 that black books at 20,000 loan value, but you owe 30,000, so you're 10,000 wrong. Well they have packed more than 10,000 in the C6, so there are some options/room to work the deal! But you will still get the big screw buying the aftermarket stuff from a new car dealership. IMHO

You know .. A fool and his money........
Hell i can do a wheel and tire package on that piece of crap wheel for 3500..

Those baer eradispeeds are junk (warp city) and arent worth 1/2 the 800 dollar list price..

That is a travesty.. and some poor fool will end up buying it.. Im not sure if anyone notices but those Maya DTZ (Discontinued) are not made for the C6 but for the C5.. see how far it sticks out in the rear..

A dealer would have to have some set to call this a competition wheel..

Maya 19*10.5 (front) and 20*10.5 (rear) competition high chrome wheels

Thing is, a lot of people don't know any better and get suckered....

As large as our forum is, I think it is still the minority of corvette buyers...
