As long as people keep paying over they're going to ask over. That's the way it is. I can wait it out.

There are several ZO6s listed on Autotrader that have been for sale @ $100,000 over sticker for a while now. Very few buyers willing to pay that much.

In retrospect, I am very unclear with what this thread is about, or at least how it is supposed to work from the OP's point of view.

You are offering your place, which could result in an allocation/order next week, for a Z06.

You are not selling your spot, so you order the car someone else designs or do you select who orders the car and they design, place the order and the rest.

The dealer is charging $100,000.00 additional market adjuctment for this allocation.

What do you get out of it, or is this just your way of putting someone in touch with the dealer?

FWIW, the dealer is dreaming. This allocation will be months away from building, figure Aug or Sept. The $100K over number may not hold for that period. The market is saturated with z06 cars at that price point and it does not appear that this is a reasonable ask. For a car on the floor NOW, $60,000.00 may be all they are worth.

If its a Z07 allocation all bets are off.....

wait a minute. you were the same person proclaiming that the z would be priceless and would sell for more then $300k now and forever.. ...... Now we have someone who may have genuinely been trying to help someone out and your blasting him because the dealer wants $100k over?
hahahaha... man some of you are all over the map.

That's right, just putting someone in touch with a dealership, that can order a car today.
Dreaming ? I don't think so.
No big deal. I really don't think he is too worried about selling the car.

That's how I took the OP's intent. Just a friendly headsup or tip to someone who might be interested.

Corvette Forum. Where no good deed goes unpunished.

As for the $100k ADM, nothing is preventing anyone from calling an offering less. Maybe a lesser amount combined with a non-refundable deposit ends up carrying the day.

If you order to your buyer's specs then they buy it off you as a used car, you're not

No, I'm not. If I was selling my spot, I would be getting paid, I'm not getting anything from the deal.
