holy smoke you bought a 08 z for 48k? That's a killer deal. I would have bought one for 60k. What state are you in? California dealers are a joke. Most when you ask them the price, they state the MSRP hoping they get someone off guard for that price.

No it was my car AND 48 that why I was so mad. That was the best deal I could get, 4 other dealers only wanted to give me 28 for my vette. They all acted like I was trying to steal their first born. But I wanted the ZO6 that bad. I live in Calif. I knew where all the ZO6's were from here to Orgeon,I spent three night's until the wee hours looking at people's inventory. It turned out most of the ZO6's that I wanted were in SoCal. But none of them were willing to do serious dealing even though their lots were full to overflowing with cars. It CAUSE." IT'S A VETTE AND WORSE IT'S A ZO6"

I don't know about you guys but the dealers here in california are a total joke. One dealer has a 08 82k 3lz z06 and the lowest price he is willing to let it go for is 73k. These dealers want to break even or even profit from the 08's. They have to realize that it is already mid-year of 2009 and that they have to eventually take a big loss to sell the 08's.
GM should just reduce the MSRP to what people are actually paying and then keep it about 3-5% above invoice. Dealers are always looking out for that big kill and that makes smart buyers go with another manufacturer. It looks like with the Camaro they are selling for MSRP but MSRP is only 5% or so above invoice. They are selling them like crazy. It seems like once a car breaks the $50k sticker barrier it is in a different league with a lot of customers. Would you go out and pay $75k for an Escalade now?

So the z06 cost you 78k? (30k+48k). If so, then that isn't even a good deal. That's pretty much the MSRP. Even thought you get the 0% financing, your 08 has depreciated faster than the 8k you are saving with the 0%. If you do a kelly blue book on a used 08 with 10 miles and all the options and the car is valued at 58k. If I were you I would have just bought a new load 09z instead if you are going to pay 78k for a 08.
