I think I will pass on an 08 (though it will likely be one great car). I'm too busy modding my 06. Just talked to Gerardo at DS Vettes about 3 more leather pieces It is addictive!

coupe , black exterior, two tone red/black interior, NPP, Z51 ( but regular tires dealer swap ) , chrome wheels, 3LT maybe 4LT depending on color.

I buy when I can get the car for 08 msrp minus increase from 07 minus onstar hit, minus $8000

I don't intend to pay significantly more than a similarly equipped 07 goes for now. I'm thinking mid Fall or this coming winter.

My 05 runs just fine and the dealer will make plenty of money at my price. They won't sell this low initially but time and surplus inventories, high gas prices, etc will do the trick. Oh, I could afford msrp right away but just hate giving dealers money they haven't done anything at all to earn.

My point being total markup from Invoice to MSRP on any C6 cpe from 2005 until now has been approx $4,300. Very doubtful any dealer will give up their 3% holdback ($1500) on any 2008 order.

I will start shopping 10/07. Hoping I can get one from dealer inventory..

I would like either a black/black cashmere or silver/black titanium coupe.

3LT, no nav. One top.

The NPP exhaust is interesting.

Maybe a manual... auto is not excluded though.

No Z51, not going to race, maybe the f55

If I can't find a suitable car then I will have to order... and how long does that take? 2months?

ahh, I see so the MSRP should be about the same from the 07- 08?

2008 Pricing has not been released yet, so MSRP is unknown.
at this time. All I was saying is that the markup should be similar, someone had written that they weren't going to buy until they could get $8,000 off of MSRP. With only a $4300 markup, that sounds extremely doubtful.
