I keep reading about a lot of you getting your vettes from Rick or Karl or other out-of-state dealers. Are you all just buying w/o a trade in? Are you getting rid of another car to get the Z? Are you trading your car in w/ the out-of-state dealer?
If so what about taxes? Aren't you paying full boat taxes on the new Z? and doesn't that negate the price savings by a lot?
I tried to work with one of the supporting vendors and they offered me 39K for my 2001 Z (two months ago), but giving a small discount on MSRP. My dealer in Dallas gave me 41.5 for the 2001 (a week ago), charged MSRP and I only paid a few hundred in sales tax.
Tell me where is the savings?
BTW 41.5K for my car was about what I could of sold it for.
