Default Finally Pulled the Trigger
Ordered 08 1LT for $40k out the door. I told them about the forum dealer prices and they agreed to do even better than match. Life is good. Let the countdown begin.

Oh not bad. I'm about to order an 08 LT1 Z51 in the very very near future. Best price they offered was 43k + TTL...
Maybe I should look elsewhere?

Zero options I gather.
By the time you add a few to the 1LT like chrome,
A6 paddle,Z51 & freight you're up around 46,700. It adds up faster than a Z06 0-60. Tell them softly about that!

You will be ruined. Your life will no longer be your own. You will get strange feelings to go take a 'peek' at weird hours of the night. You will invent reasons to go to the store, bank, etc.

You will just LOVE this car!

"Out the door" as in including tax and license?

Out the door as including shipping, but excluding TTL. They let me add options at invoice, but all I added was QX1 wheels.

Let the countdown begin.
