Even with a unique $10,000 dollar paint job why so much?

Saw the car and thought "Take my money". Saw the price and thought "Wait, better yet don't"..

They should at least replace the gill with a Z06 one for that price!

Any orange peel? If not, ask them to teach GM how to paint!

No way I would ever pay that kind of money for a vehicle. But the car does look good.

Hey, no orange peel. Isn't that worth the price?
I do love that color.

I hope the car had some factory paint damage from shipping or something, if not then why didn't they just vinyl wrap it.
Like the color but would not personally buy it. Maybe on a project (well used) race car, but not a brand new car.

The color is a bit too bold for me. I prefer a little more stealth.

Paint jobs, done right, can be horrible expensive. If the doors, hatch and panels were removed the paint could cost more than $10,000. Adding the splitter and other items such as go faster mods, would quickly drive the price up. They person who buys this car is not going to worry about $90+k.
Plus, I kind of like it...but not in my life.

Looks like something a low level drug dealer or rapper would buy when he realizes he still can't afford a Lambo.

Fluorescent Green so the police can see you better? I would order a base Z06 A8 before I would pay to get that.

That is the Stingray Chevy Owner's wife's car. She gets a new one every so often... Her 2014 was the M7 Flat Metallic Purple wrapped car that had the full red interior with the competition seats. That car was originally Black. Have no idea what color this A8 was underneath the new Green. Does look nice in person, even if your aren't a Green guy like me. Now... if they do a Flat metallic Yellow/Gold.... I will be a slave!

My thoughts exactly! Your not paying for the unique color, you are paying for one of the rare C7s with no orange peel.
