Spoke with my wallet this weekend

[CamaroAJ]

And picked up a new 2015 Z/28. GM has some crazy $20k+ rebates on it right now so it was kinda a no brainer. Overall pretty fun car for a race car with a optional radio and a/c.

Here I thought that you were going to tell us that your wallet laughed at you. Beautiful car. My wallet and I aren't on speaking terms,something about I'm so broke I can't even afford to pay attention

[SSLance]

Now that is my kind of conversation!!!

Congrats...Me thinks you'll be very happy with that choice.

[BonzoHansen]

Is the wallet saying 'no mas' now? Lol

Nice car!

[WSSix]

I think your wallet and my wallet are in the same self help group.


Awesome buy. I really want one.

I've been eyeing up a white Z at the local dealer. has both options. pretty sure my financial advisor will kill me if another car comes home though... (wife)

Great looking car! I have lots of fun in my 02, I bet the new Z/28 is a blast!?

[CamaroAJ]

Thanks guys. Its on the chilly side in Texas right now so the tires don't grip all that well. So far its a rocket ship though. Its going to take some getting used to, I still prefer the ergonomics of a vette to this and vettes have less blind spots.

I was looking for an 1LE - a Dealer offered me a Z-28 at $25k Off! I didn't do it - it was Black/Black with No A/C in Florida!

$25k off of a car's sticker price kinda makes you wonder just how much of a mark-up are on today's cars in general. Even with that large of an amout off, they are still making money. So, just how much are we overpaying for cars to begin with? I was told years ago by a guy who sold cars that dealerships don't make the bulk of their money off of vehicle sales. They make most of it off of the service side of the business.

The dealer isn't marking that car down 25k its the incentives from GM. GM itself marks the car down. The dealer gets a small fee for getting that car sold.

Correct! The Incentives from GM were close to $20k, the Dealer knew he had to kick in some $$ to move it. I think it will be there a long time (he has Two)

Thats why I bought mine, the window sticker was $77k and it was marked down to $55k. They have a lot of them sitting at dealers right now, there are 4 (well 3 now) just between two Chevy dealers here in San Antonio. The company I work for said they couldn't sell me one at that price so I went to a competing dealer and bought it lol.

I splurged and got A/C:lol:

Awesome car.

What's the plan for it, DD, track days, "collecting"?

I think the Z will be one of the rare modern cars that holds some value. Not too many out there and a pretty special car. The MSRP is real high, but buying for 50's seems like a good deal long term.

DD and track days here and there for now I think. I'm not sure if I want to sell my TBSS or hang on to it for when its cold and raining or not.

Must be rough needing a second car for rainy/cold days... Texas lol.

Sadly I'm realizing I could have bought a new Z for less than I have in my 72 and DD all summer even easier, oh well there's too many around here anyways (GM company cars etc), mine is much more unique at least.

Congrats and enjoy...that's a whole hell of a lot of car for the money!

Good luck keeping tires under it...! :wacko:

[waynieZ]

Beautiful car and a great deal. I've only seen one around here. Sweet Ride AJ Enjoy it.

[CamaroAJ]

Thanks guys, its a pretty fun car so far. I've thought about selling it since its worth about $5k more than I owe on it. Get paid $5k to drive it for a week lol.

[takid455]

Thought these were around 100k? Is that with extra options?

Maybe when they first came out some dealers jacked the prices up. Sticker on mine with every option you can get (radio, A/C, wicker bill, floor mats, and a car cover lol) was $77k. Since nobody can justify buying on at that price GM gave $20+k off in rebates on some of them which put it about the same price as a ZL1.
