New 05 Vert Value
Can any of you advise me on what a reasonable price would be to pay on a 05 loaded convertible with polished wheels, Z51 power top and 1SB? It's new, but was displayed at the state fair.

I would think at least $10K off. 1-The '07's are not far off and 2-I got almost $6k off an '06 coupe this month (GMID). 3-Rick at Les Stanford recently had some for $12k off...don't know if there are any left.

Going in ask for 10k off but I feel 7k off is a good deal

Kerbeck is offering 5000.00 off on new 06 verts, maybe your better off dealing on an 06. With the 07's coming out around the corner and the usual drop in value upon driving the first mile your gonna get crushed in value with an 05.
JMHO..........good luck

At this point i would not touch it for over 52k. I paid 57k for a 06 (msrp) 64547 in Nov05.

Considering the dealer has a $7500.00 difference between MSRP, and invoice, and he's already used it for promotional purposes, you shouldn't pay a dime more then 10K under the FACTORY MSRP. Dealer add ons don't count.
