so when you are serious and buy one, let us know.

My dealer said exactly the opposite to me yesterday. They have 3 customers that need a car and they spoke to over 30 dealers with cars coming in and virtually all of them refused to release a car. 2 dealers were willing to take $5K over MSRP. Almost all of the cars you’re seeing on autotrader and cars.com are sold orders. This just happened with the Range Autobiography I got a few months back. I ordered the car and it was still listed on autotrader when it was booked into the dealer before I took delivery

Check eBay SOLD items. They are all at or over MSRP even for used cars with miles. That is the best indicator of market price on any item from a pencil to the space shuttle. Another good indicator is that there are virtually none (if not zero) allocations left for 2019. The ZR1 is almost certainly a single model year car and GM will be unable to meet the demand. Good luck but the listings you are looking at are fake. It is widely documented that most of these sites pull directly from dealer inventory and list sold/ordered cars that were never up for sale, not to mention the advertised prices are completely bogus.

Cue Deb.... :)

Dealers better sell these things before the weather turns bad. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up holding the asphalt down on dealers parking lots ala c4zr1’s in the mid 1990’s. dealers will start dropping prices big time. It certainly does not make sense to buy one of these things with 6 or 10k miles at or near list price. They won’t hold value or have the cult following to keep values high like the gen 5 vipers.

Come on dude —- you expect a dealer to tell you the truth- “I have 3 of these spruce gooses sitting on my parking lot and no one with howard hugh’s Type money beating down my door to buy one of these winged Turkey’s ?”

Did a tin siding sales man make a call on you telling you he would like to take a picture of your house as the before picture for their advertisement brochure as your neighbor that just bought beautiful new siding will be the after picture —- but your house can be the after pircture all you have to do is buy new siding.

:yesnod::iagree:

Just like has happened with previous generations, once the C8 starts getting delivered, unless GM continues with C7 production along side the C8 production like Porsche’s 911 and Boxter/Cayman models, the C7 including the ZR1 will become yesterday’s newspapers as the stampede to buy C8 mid engine cars takes off ( and of course the prices for left over/ used C7’s will head south).

When the C7 stingray came out in 2014, there were guys unloading C6 ZR1’s and buying new Stingrays, going from 638 HP in the ZR1 to 460 HP in the Stingray cause the gotta have it fever took over and they lost control. Course it wasn’t too long before the very nice improvements of the C7 generation were over shadowed by the lack of power in the Stingray compared to the C6 ZR1 and then guys were sending their Stingrays to Lingenfelter/ Calloway etc or trading the Stingrays for the 2016 Z06 as soon as it came out.

Odds are the same thing will happen with C8 introduction. The C7 ZR1 is a fantastic street super car and will always have some appeal. That said, time march’s on and the C8 is soon to be the latest shiny toy and the gold rush to get one will take the spot light off the ZR1 and if one is patient, there should be some great buying opportunities with big discounts to come, not too far away. I wouldn’t be surprised to see left over ZR1’s with 145,000 msrp’s going for 120,000 in the next year or so and low mileage mint condition used ones in the 100,000/110,000 range. Course that’s just a guess and maybe values will remain higher like the C6 Z06 did for many years after the initial 20 percent depreciation hit. Only time will tell.
