Jesus. I paid $39k for my '14 Z51 back in 2019. I wonder what it's worth now.
It's the M7 though and, as manuals are harder and harder to find, I plan on hanging on to this as long as I can as it will be very difficult to find a true manual sports car in the future!

Manuals getting harder and harder to find! I think they are likely to continue to bring a premium even when prices soften.

It probably depends,,,,,,,,,,,,,
According to "Sleuth for the Truth", in Georgia, the dealer must include ALL fees in the advertised price. Only add-ons are government required fees, presumably sales tax, registration, titles, etc.
Of course, with all this stuff, it may depend on,,,,,,,,,,,, if the customer negotiates a lower price, can the dealer THEN add-on ? After all, it's no longer the advertised price.
So the car's advertised at $48K. Our impatient friend negotiates $45,500. "OK". Our buyer gets to the dealer to settle up and take delivery and is presented with a bottom line of $46,700 (now) including said dealer fee.
What to do ? What to do ?
These dealer fees are really outrageous. Flori-DUH has it. What a pain !!! Imagine our lawmakers passing a law that says dealers can charge whatever they want,,,,,,,,, Say WHAT ? They always COULD charge whatever they want.
ALWAYS ask the salesperson "What's the bootom line OUT THE DOOR ?" And get a line item price as well BEFORE you agree to anything.

10/20 I bought my 2015 3LT convertible with 14,750 miles for $44k. In fact, minus the z51 (which I didn't want) the car the OP shared looks very similar - apparently only 16 like mine came with that stripe kit. I'm not bragging, it was dumb luck more than anything - the car was about to go to auction and they wanted it gone, luckily.
Good luck, whatever you pay and whatever you get it's worth it.
