Hi,I'm considering purchasing a new '08' Z06,dealer called,said there getting one for stock,in the color/wheels/pkg I like,selling way below list(we will see)
have a '02' Z06 for trade(we'll see how they play the "Number's Game")anyhow I have 2 question's; does the '08' have any "Issues's",like (2001 Z06
piston's/rings)...I've read on the forum that there where a few with motor problems (making a small block into a big block could have serious consequences)

2nd question;MSRP for a 2LZ,chrome wheels,& nav. is
about approx.77K,it seems some dealers are taking 7K off sticker,is this the going rate for discount in the NY long Island area?? THX for any Info.

I think you should keep the '02 and tell me the dealer's info!!

No, I'm just kidding!! Sounds like you have a pretty good opportunity. The question of "making a small block into a big block" is not really an issue. These motors are very reliable packages, go get it!!

If I were to be looking, I would check a few online dealers and verify the pricing. But it doesn't sound too bad to get 7K off.....

Good luck!! Post some pics after you have it.

Kerbeck in New Jersey is giving 8400 off msrp on a loaded Z plus 3.99 financing. xxxxxxxxxxxKerbeck Corvette xxxxxxxxxxxx That's who I look at to see what they should be going for as they are about the most aggressive in the country and the largest Corvette dealer. They are advertising 4000 off a 427 Special Edition right now too. Good luck.

PS - the deal I mentioned on 3.99 supposedly ends today - - but Kerbeck's is always having specials.....

Thanks guys,if I can get at least 7k off,and a reasonable trade-in offer(ya right!)I'll consider local dealer(who I dealt with before)...but I will mention
Kerbeck in NJ as a bargaining chip!...we shall see!

went to dealer,got great #'s on trade in,and price of new car,final "Real price"
remains to be seen,but I know all the #'s,only stumbling block is "WIFE"!
she don't like color,she don't like price(of course),car rides to harsh(its a sports car!),no room for in-laws!!...Yada Yada Yada...to bad I can't trade in my wife,but like trading in a Used SUV,there'e no re-sale market!!
