They made an offer I couldn’t refuse

Been shopping for a Z06 for a few months now. Once I found the one I wanted, the rest was easy! Here are a couple pics from the dealer lot - more/better pics later. Nothing like buying a new car on Saturday and then having to leave town for a week-long business trip on Sunday

2017 Torch Red/Jet Black Z06. A8 1LZ with navigation, PDR, carbon ceramic brakes, and chrome wheels. Picked the car up with 950 miles on the clock. Still smells brand new!

Congrats. It looks great.

Now instead of just looking forward to getting home after a week long business trip you have something else to look forward to also.

Those chrome wheels make the red "POP". That design wheel in chrome overall is as good as it gets on the C7Z in my book.

Awesome!! The best color choice with chrome slippers in my book. Here is my 1st pic at dealer when I picked up. Are your windows tinted or is it just the lighting?

*won't attach pic*

I love my WGG but every time I see this color I have a little regret as I always wanted a red Vette

Well, to my way of thinking, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Based on its options, ordering the car from scratch in 2017, it would have stickered for somewhere around $95,000. It’s an A8 (gas guzzler tax) 1LZ with navigation, PDR, carbon ceramic brakes, and chrome wheels. I don’t have the window sticker, but I did build a ’17 on the gmsupplierdiscount.com site, and the built car there was $94,755. With only 950 miles the car, for me, is basically brand new. I was able to pick it up for $67,000 – I had to jump on it!
