Sorry if this is a frequent question, I don’t have much view time on here. I sold my 2012 c6 a couple years ago, with regret of course. Now I’m about to be in the market again for a c7 Z. I’m waiting till next year, this year I have a little one on the way but my question is, when is the best time to buy a vette? I’m thinking winter or close out? I’ve searched the market and couldn’t find what I wanted, either the wrong color with the options I want or the right color w/o all the options. I’d like a 3lz with carbon ceramics and competition seats in ceramic matrix grey.

December 26 - March 31. But, last november GM cut the 2017 Z06 by 20%, for a limited time. However, a Tsunami is about to hit, Baby Driver is going to run things for awhile, like the next 20 years.

Not sure with all the random promotions, etc. there is a best time. When your money is right and you find the Z you want with a good price buy it. A lot of people spend a lot of time searching for that fantastic deal. Fine for them for me as long as I get a good deal I am happy.

Best time is when there are leftovers-no major changes for the C7 so one year is like the other.

If you know exactly what you want you most likely will have to either order it, buy it from far away or maybe get lucky and your local dealer will have it. Best time to buy is end of month.
