I just completed my shopping on 11/29 and bought a Red Mod Red 2003 Vette in Atlanta...
Shopping around town, $1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, now were starting to thin out the bidders. Okay, $5000, $6000, and finally $6500 off list price. The over supply is enormous. And with zero payments for 90 days, zero down, and zero percent interest for 36 months, you can't go wrong. I had dealers admit, if I wasn't buying in cash, a used 2002 was going to cost me more than a new one.
If a Z06 doesn't scare you airports should be a breeze! Plane flight from CA. to just about any city, a couple hundred bucks, saving over ten grand, and that LONG ride home... priceless

They still do that to a degree here in Dallas. They know that there are a bunch of people around here with more money than they know what to do with. You have to really shop around to get a good deal.
Notice that most websites have you put in your zip code so that they can find the "right deal for your needs"...?

Now just to decide between the Z06 and that Carrera I've been looking at.
Unless you are budgeted for 996TT, the Z06 will run circles around a 2S or 4S and definitely keep up with a 996TT. Keep the change and take a nice vacation to let's say....the UP of Michigan or Buffalo/Syracuse. Figured you must be in SoCal and get pretty tired of all that sun and warm weather. Head Northeast!
MSRP/List starts around $51,500. $6500 off gets you right at invoice price. The dealer still makes $1500-$2000 selling at invoice - depending on options, incentives etc.
On a regular basis Dallas dealers are running ad's in the local news paper for $6,000 off of MSRP. That makes a good starting point, so if your persistent you can do even better then that.
