Default This possible?

I received a qoute for a 2007 C6 (not ZO6) with $5,000 off the list price and they pay the FL sales tax. That's an addditional $3,500 savings. No dealer prep or other fees. This too good to be true?
Not a sponsor of the site so I will not name the dealer.

It says YOU will pay sales tax. The YOU is ME!


too good beacuse I CAN NOT READ!!!!!
Sorry for taking everyones time

Yeah, it sounds too good to be true. That is somewhere around GMS pricing. Watch out for "dealer" add-ins like advertising, mandatory dealer installed accessories, etc. that are added to your quote.

Back in January when I got my C6 - I got it for $6k under MSRP. So I would still beat him down another $1k.

Have you salesperson draw up the sales contract and get the manager's signature. Highly unusual for a dealer to pay state sales tax. I don't see how they could be making any money on the car at essentially $8,500 off MSRP.

I didn't think there was a sales tax in FL. I am not from FL as my avatar may suggest.

Florida sales tax rate is 6%, plus option for local sales taxes. Florida, like Texas, has no personal income tax.

Re-read his post. In addition to the $5,000 off MSRP, dealer is paying state sales tax, the equivalent of another $3,500 discount.

Might want to make sure it's not a pre-owned or other program car, rather than brand new.

If you don't live in Florida, you may have to pay the tax when you register it in the state you live in.
