Default [DFW] Need some help

By the advice from FLYNLO I am posting this here. I am looking at buying a used Z06 in Plano (see details here)

Would anyone be interested in taking a look at the car with me if I go back to look at it a second time? I am not buying it to day regardless of what I see.

Thanks!

The market is very soft now. You can get a good deal, especially from dealer, as they are more realistic about the market and actually know how poor the market is. Private owners tend to think that KBB, Edmunds, and NADA are gold, and will list 3-4K about their price. You can probably get used cars from dealers at or close to KBB/Edmunds' private sale price, if you know how to negotiate right. But don't start negotiation till you are ready to buy, right there on the spot. Dealers hate the "I'll come back tomorrow".
Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your purchase.

I saw a white Z6 in Lewisville, I35 North exit corporate, I think. You might want to check it out. It's a small dealer called Heritage Auto. I was there for a C4(96), actually. Their price was very good, for the C4 anyway($10.9K for a 96 with 80K miles); but someone bought it ahead of me :banghead: So, the salesman tried to sell me the Z6, not at the C4 price tho :lol: post pics when get your Z6 :auto:

I will check it out. I found another EB at a place called Corvette Warehouse (or something like that). Their price was a bit high but it is at least worth checking out.

I will post pics when I get the car. :chevy

STAY AWAY FROM CORVETTE WHAREHOUSE!!! Just to make sure we are talking about the same place, the one I am referring to is a little place on the west side of I-35, just North of Royal lane and just south of 635. If this is the Corvette Wharehouse you are thinking about going to, trust me and don't do it.

Please let me know about Corvette warehouse. They are south of 635 off of 35 @ Royal. I am interested to know what to look out for.

My wife knew someone who delt with the shop north of 635 on 35 that ended up going to court over their deal.
