Drake Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You just had to know these things would be marked up even more than the Challenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Was there ever any question as to whether dealers would include a sizable markup for this vehicle? I have seen one BTW, they look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixt9coug Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 the only one ive ever seen in person was at the GM gift shop in the Detroit Metro Airport. Looked good, but i still think the clear hood bulge is kind of tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked good, but i still think the clear hood bulge is kind of tacky. I saw my first ZR-1 at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. Dave Ressler was there at the time, displaying his ZR-1 (IIRC the first ever produced/sold) and his original 3rd-off-the-line 1953 Corvette. I got to meet him....seemed like a great guy.

theripper Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 this conversation comes up every time a hot new model comes out. the best thing to do is wait for the 'early adoptors' to have their way with the dealers. after the initial rush, you can get the car you want and pay a reasonable price for it. it's really that simple.

But its so much fun to bitch and whine about it each and every time ^_^ P.S. my retort to your sig is "liberalism is a mental disorder" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theripper Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 01foci, i commend you. you actually read what's posted before you, something most of our fellow posters do not. healthy discourse is wonderful. ...and i'm glad we agree on the dealer markup. it is, after all, pure capitalism at work here. sooner or later, the markup goes away, and people can decide what the car is really worth.

akirby Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 If the dealers sold these vehicles at MSRP, then people would simply buy them from the dealer and put them up for resale to the highest bidder. The retail price would end up the same with individuals or other dealers getting the profits instead of the original dealers. The only difference is the occasional personal buyer might be able to find one at MSRP if they get in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is the way it works. The 2009 GTR's were going for ridiculous numbers ($100K+). Now can be had for ($86,900 - just $3500 over MSRP for a premium GTR). Those ZR-1 prices will come down as well. Awesome ride though. Hell I remember when a dealership in TX was offering 2005 Mustang GT's with $10-12K ADM. EDIT-Quick browsing shows you can get a premium GTR at MSRP now. Edited October 29, 2008 by the_spaniard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Greene Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I don't see how you can call this price gouging. No one has to have one. It's not a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
