Is that three unsold ZR1's at one dealership?

My local dealer only has one unsold ZR1 in stock.

MSRP----$144,585, Reliable price----$130,669(on their website). https://www.reliablechevymo.com/Vehi...-MO/3224291813

Let me guess the computer made a mistake on the price.Nothing like a little bait and switch.

Why don't you visit them with your checkbook in hand and give us a first hand account of their "bait and switch" tactics.

Looks like you might be right. Unit sold to a new owner as of May 10th. Still on their website nearly a month later. Doubt highly they're selling for $13K off sticker. If they are I'm a buyer.

Until it is known that there was a computer 'glitch' then the "Reliable price' should be considered legit.

Maybe the "original' owner, that the car was ordered for, bailed when it was time to pay up, and that's why it's available.

Until one actually knows the "facts", one shouldn't be calling a business a "bait and switch" operation.

If you are really a "buyer" then you wouldn't be wasting time on this forum, but would have already called Reliable with your credit card to give them a deposit, until you can show up next week with the remainder of the money and drive the car off their lot, just in case they are discounting the car.

Doubtful they are discounted! I would hold off on the sermon, if you check you will find it is not! Since looking at the Autotrader
the prices there are several instock @ 189,000.

Zero chance any ZR1 was sold at $13k under MSRP. I know of two ZR1s in Houston that were bought off a show room floor due to the ordering customer backing out last minute. One sold for $10k markup and one at MSRP. Why would a dealer sell one discounted when demand is through the roof and no one has a car to sell? Supply and demand people...

Not to mention $13k off sticker is right at break even for the dealer before hold back on the ZR1. Just makes no sense for them to sell debatably the hottest car on the market right now for break even price

Might not be quite that simple. Maybe they need to move a certain volume to keep their allocations up, and they make more money that way in the long run.

It would be ironic if the automatics are the slow sellers, since it's the autos which are setting the fast roadrace track times.

What percentage of ZR1's do you think are going to be tracked or tracked hard enough to where it's the transmission that's making or breaking their laptime? The same hot shots setting the fastest lap times in the auto could drive the manual and easily beat the vast majority of auto ZR1 owners.
