    A good customer of mine is a large Chevrolet dealer in the south, and has a couple allotments for the new Z06. Chevrolet has said to dealer principals they are only building 300 cars for the 2023 model year. One will be available for sale, and of course this will come with a premium attached. You will be able to spec the car the way you want. I can take names and numbers for serious buyers and a deposit will be needed when the contract is confirmed and the order needs to be submitted. The contract will be with the dealership, not myself. The buyers premium will be $200,000 on top of the list price of the car. I know it's a lot, but considering most of these will be held by dealer principals, they will be extremely rare to buy. When the time comes, I can contact interested people in the order they have indicated their interest and a contract will be written with the selling dealership and a 10% deposit will be required at that time. Email for any questions. ( I tried to correct the title of this post, but for some reason it would not let me do it).

    Get all you can for it and don’t worry about negative comments. Supply/demand will work itself out and it’s just that simple.

    So a base price of what, $310k for a 1LZ? As slimy and disgusting as that is, as a C7Z owner, keep it up.

    "A fool and his money are soon parted."

    But thank you for posting this and I'm totally OK with someone wanting to pay extra, I love a free market and there are certain exotics I would have liked the opportunity to buy my way into. BUT, the current system of dealer regulations is NOT free market. I would also prefer this markup go directly to the manufacturer to fund additional R&D and more great creations. Why not just have GM auction these off directly? Because of regulations...so much evil done in the name of good intentions...

    The system is obviously broken and perhaps dealers don't realize their short term greed will be what leads to the system being fixed. That being said, any individual dealer that doesn't charge these "market adjustments" is leaving money on the table because everyone else is doing it. Similar to to the COVID PPI forgiveness....

    Wouldn't surprise me if they make fewer than 300 units for 2023. The theoretical maximum they can make based on current planning and parts availability is 315. So if everything goes perfectly with chips and production schedule, there will be 315.

    No offense, but I'd like to meet and perform a psychological examination of the person that pays $200K over for this car.

    I would also like to follow-up with them in 3-5 years to see if they thought they made a sane decision. o_O

    The things we do with cars or obsess over are rarely viewed as “sane” by more normal folk…

    I'm all for pricing them according to the market. The market will not pay $350k (3LZ plus options plus $200k ADM) for a Corvette, even if it is a Z06.

    That car is a piece of ****, I saw a you tube video of a guy who cut one in half, to show everyone what a junk pile it is, I would not take one if they gave it to me, good grief, I cant believe there are people out there who are dumb enough to buy that crap, and on top of it, let themselves be ****ed in the ass to that degree, what a joke.

    I watched the Ron Fellows video of him driving it at Laguna Seca. I’m gonna hold onto any $200k finder’s fee until they sort out the DCT.

    The rollout of this car has been a PR nightmare for GM thus far.

    What’s the point of coming into someone’s for sale ad and acting like this? There are dozens of corvette discussion threads on this forum yet this is where this kind of opinion feels right to share?

    I got mine for 15k over(coupe) and barely wanted to pay that! I’m also getting a convertible(when and if they ever make all these) for 25k over. Deposit on both and specced the coupe over a month ago but no timeframe when it’s due to arrive. This is the first 2 cars in buying from this dealership as well. I have a 3rd deposit now down as well on a different car/brand they sell.
