C8 Z06

Maybe issue the warranty 1 year at a time sort of like a subscription or insurance?

 

If you want a "track car" Z06 then this is what you should be getting.

An LLC may work. I can speculate that most people not going to that type of effort for 50K. Interesting too that there are such waits for an escalade V.

A potential dilemma for me. If my dealer is right I should receive my Z06 around this time next year. My SF90S should arrive about 6 months after that. Was thinking of unloading the Z06 when the F car arrived.

Chevy Says the C8 Corvette that Burned Last Week in Spain Was Not An E-Ray

Wow. So much Chevy spin I got dizzy just opening the link.

 

complete BS. They cannot void a warranty.

So you mean if you sell the car back to a dealer and they sell it at a profit they have to void their own warranty?

bull loney.

 

agree, but they can probably blackball you from future dealer purchase of C8's which would suck for an enthusiast that would want an E-ray, ZR1 and Zora.

Dealers will discourage flippers by collecting $50k over msrp. Very few buyers would be willing to pay another $20-$50k on top of that.

I think most people assumed it was an e-ray battery fire.

I’ve been researching this online and it appears the manufacturer can decide if the warranty is transferable. An example was Hyundai that will not transfer their 100,000 mile warranty, only a 60,000 mile warranty when it is sold.

 

Its lawsuit city and GM would lose every time. I see class action lawsuits or State's Attorney Generals stepping in.

 

Well, it took a class action lawsuit against GM for them to finally admit that they had a cooling issue with the C7 ZO6.

 

They did (assume) and the media said it WAS an eRay without actually CONFIRMING it was an eRay. Then, all the anti-electric folks jumped in to show how dangerous electric cars are...certainly no ICE car has ever caught on fire...oh wait.

 

Personally think GM missed the boat on pricing. A lot on this forum May not under stand it as the price is still cheap in comparison to the models owned on this board. For the typical corvette enthusiast it’s a huge leap in price and will price some out of it. Once the dealer lists run dry this will sit and sit on the lots. The C7 Z was on the lots with huge discounts and it was much cheaper then the current one. One of the main allures of the Vett was that it was super car performance at a fraction of the cost. Now a nicely optioned Z is at or above GT4RS pricing and touching on 911 turbo pricing. I would much rather own both of those vehicles over a vett. At the same time you have the big ? Of Chevy reliability of a flat plane crank motor. Then the additional hassle of dealing with the American car dealers and service department. I personally dread anytime I buy an American car because of that.

^^^^^ This is spot-on! Not going forward with my ZO6 order.

Grabbing some popcorn for the reveal of the 992 GT3 RS next week (which I've been on the list at my dealer since May of 2019).

Too bad because I was looking forward to getting back into a Vette.

 

Well, I disagree. I do agree the price is high for the typical Vette owner. That is a problem but demand for the car was also unreasonable. Who knows how many speculators were trying to make a quick buck?

But I disagree with them eventually sitting on lots, at least not for years. Stingray deliveries are still out over a year. In the past, GM just keep the factory running and pushed cars to dealers. You don't see that yet with the C8 and probably won't. The reason is the Z06, the Eray and also international orders. Discounting happened when too many cars were made. Most of the C8's are built to order and probably will be for 2-3 years. At that point they probably will have a C9 coming unless this is the end of the line.

There's a brand new C8 sitting in the showroom of my dealer in Vegas with a "adjusted value" of $55K on top of the $92K MSRP. They don't seem to be wanted to dump them anytime soon.

 

I understand the financial concerns for your “average” ‘vette enthusiast, but I will remain on the list, albeit it will be several years before my ridiculously high number comes up.
I want them to have a good two years of production to work out bugs before I order mine.
While the rest of the world is going turbo, hybrid, EV this is a giant middle finger to all of them from America’s heartland...a pure NA engine making huge power with amazing sound, and will have enormous aftermarket options and support. That makes it extremely desirable to me.
I think Chevy dealers will make efforts to treat customers well that have shelled out 2-3x the amount of money than their other customers, especially with other potentially more expensive ‘vette models coming. I believe Chevy has committed to this brand deeply.

 

I agree it will be a couple years before this happens but it will.

I don’t have any hopes that Chevy dealer will treat a Z06 owner any differently then a Cruz owner. Delt with to many American dealers and have had horrendous experiences

I had my local GM dealer service my ZO6 when I was doing a bunch of HPDE's. They had a "ZO6 team of mechanics" that were the only ones that were supposedly allowed to work on ZO6's. After a plethora of issues with the car I decided to take it to a dedicated race shop and they politely pointed-out the myriad of issues that had been overlooked/neglected by GM.

Scary to say the least! I trusted my life with the dealer...never again.

 

my friend ordered a base, no options c8 coupe 6 weeks ago. its being built now.
will have it soon.
