200K for a 2009 ZR1?

[GRB]

Dealers couldn't gouge if GM would build enough to supply the demand. What idiots! Actually, like the Z06, they could gouge early on but sooner or later the price would come way down.

Tony,
About six months after the current generation Z06 came out I was talking to a salesman at Rinke Chevrolet and he told me he got a call from a guy in Florida inquiring about a black Z06 they had in stock. He told the guy up front he needed to get sticker for the car. The guy flew in the next day and picked it up. About a week later, the saleman got a call from the Chevy Zone office and they directed him to EBay where the car just sold for almost a $20K profit. I'm usually not on the dealers side but even the "honest" dealers in these situations consider hammering customers because if they don't somebody else will.

What's the big deal on that one? The dealer quoted a price, got it, made their profit, and went on with their day. If the buyer managed to resell and net another $20K, that's free enterprise.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Supply and demand. It will all calm down, no biggie.

For 200k I'd rather have a low mile C6Z,AND Charlies L89

Andy,
I don't think anyone is getting "ripped off". If nobody was willing to pay to be the first kid on the block, this type of behavior would stop. The folks that are plunking down 200K for a ZR1 are doing it and nobody is twisting their arms.
