Prices are still high here in Hawaii 
a used 08 vert with 14K miles not sure on the trim package but it is listed at $48K
A new 08 ZO6 brand new in the dealer showroom is listed at $90K and from what I have been told the dealer will not budge off of that window price.

yah, the deals that seemed ( and were at the time ) so great on the leftover 08s may be puny compared to what 09s end up selling for if, as many of us expect, the economic bottom has not yet been reached. People say that this is a good time to buy a vette because of the low prices. Ah, everything is relative. This may be, in fact, a very poor time to buy a vette if price is the prime consideration. Far greater price cuts may lay ahead ( while, no doubt, the msrp keeps on increasing LOL and double LOL ).
Personally, I'd like a new, no option 1LT 09 for $35k or less. At that price the dealer might not make any money but at least would not be paying inventory carrying cost on the unit. But then again, I am totally unconvinced that any of us really knows what these cars actually cost the dealers. All the hoopla about invoice cost and other so called actual costs don't impress me in the least.
I'm just sitting quietly myself waiting to see what happens in this market. After years of successive msrp increases and adm from dealers I would feel not one tiny bit of remorse about buying a new C6 for a VERY low price.
