A personal question for current owners...

I'll dance around the impoliteness of asking directly...How much are dealers getting for the "dealer price adjustment" after the haggle?
One dealer near me (Orange County CA, unfortunately in this case) mentioned they would be marking up $8-10k over sticker and another dealership's sales manager wanted to add $20k (before the salesman hurried over after he left and said don't worry about that number!). So what are people actually paying for their ZR1s?
Thanks in advance for your responses. My decisions time is approaching rapidly.

As long as people pay sticker or over dealers will keep gouging. If it's a low volume car that's their justification and there is always somebody that will pay the dealer price

Unfortunately, and I don't know if this phenomenon is common elsewhere, but in OC (and LA I'd imagine) the dealer markup seems not only common but apparently supported by customers (via sales). My friend was looking to buy a Raptor, was at the dealership ready to trade in his Alfa, and they were asking $15k over sticker for the Raptor. He flat out refused to pay that, and they wiggled a little to bring the markup down to $6k over but he refused, willing to pay MSRP (as opposed to % over invoice). Their retort was that Raptor demand was so high they went through their allocation months back and were now selling ones purchased from other dealers in lower-demand markets that they had to buy at MSRP themselves (lying? a salesman's lips were moving). Anyway, cut to the chase and we walked out and he let us...with 12+ Raptors sitting on their lot.

Spoke with my local dealer with which I have purchased a few corvettes from. They spoke to the owner knowing I was a repeat customer and told me I would get MSRP. Located in So Cal. Glad you find a good deal on one.
