Re: I saved $142,000 today.

Wow, this couldn't have worked out any better for me if I'd planned it....

I wasn't on the ZR1 list and so when Normie called me yesterday asking advice, I told him to pass.

After he passed on the car, I drove to the dealership and managed to buy the ZR1 for $2k under MSRP because the dealer was pissed off at Norm.

What a great steal!

Mike

Re: I saved $142,000 today.

I feel really good about my decision. It's amazing how car salespeople got their reputation. They just seem so straight forward, honest and always wanting to put the customers needs ahead of their own. LOL

As hard as that must have been you made the right decision. Good for you Norm.

The big picture is usually the way to go. It's not like you're stuck in a POS! Market forces usually prevail to the good when you let the big head do the thinking!

Already told you Denny. It's setting in my garage right now.

Had enough time last night to put a first coat of Zaino on and will get pics out in the next day or two.

Re: I saved $142,000 today.

A buddy of mine passed on his JSB ZR1 today also. The dealership wanted 10K over. He decided to buy income property in Sandy Eggo instead! He still has his Z06...
