Default Finally !

I have been on a waitlist and have been looking everywhere.I kept seeing at a lot of stock photos on dealers websites.
One dealer here in Gilbert AZ had some showing.Wednesday I decided to go look and to my surprise they had 3 in the showroom.
Made the deal for hypersonic gray 3lz natural interior.What a great car! I should go over the 500 miles tomorrow after I get the smoker going.
When I picked up my car Friday they still had a Red and Black in the showroom.

The forum (unwritten) rules state that anyone posting about getting a new car must post pictures.

Congrats!

You just need to put the time in searching and you will find cars on dealer lots.
I found mine at a dealer in West Virginia, they trailered the car to me and picked up my trade. Easiest car purchase ever.

Congrats on finding a Z06 on the showroom floor at MSRP. The Market is changing in some geographies.

That is a fine looking machine.

Please tell us about you driving experiences after the 500 mile break in period!

I'm on multiple wait lists for a few years now. Earlier this month I wanted to finally get one for my 60th birthday. I searched Autotrader/CarGurus/Cars.com for Z06/Z07 HTCs across the country. Then made calls. When I got call backs, I stated I was buying this weekend (May 8-10) and what was their best price. Many were 10-20k ADM, a few at 50k. I also had a few at MSRP, with none below MSRP. I purchased a car at MSRP. Even had a few that originally wanted 10k over call me back a week later lowering their ADM. Only option I didn't get that I wanted was the CF Wheels and I can live without.

You just have to shop and negotiate.

they're replacing the engine oil pan and the water pump on my Z currently. they should be receiving parts this week and hopefully will fix the engine tick while at that as well. I'll let ya know how it goes after that. They only have 1 master tech, so I imagine as they start to service more Z's that things can take quite awhile.
