Put down a $115,000 deposit. Otherwise I think that's an unreasonable request.

Quite honestly, if I were a dealer, you'd have to leave your personal vehicle that was worth at least as much as the ZR1 for collateral.

Noticed you posted this a couple of months ago:

Im 25 years old and still young. I go to school and work part-time and drive me a new 07 Vette. But all my friends be saying I shouldnt live at home because Im to grown. Should I move out or continue to live at home with my folks for free and enjoy the nice home cooking ? To get a place in Manhattan NYC will cost me at least $1500-$2000 for an average place is this worth it ? I dont like paying rent when I can buy to own. So what are my options ? How much longer should I be living with my folks ? Please advise. Thanks


So with this in mind you are obviously pulling our leg about even remotely being able to afford the car in the first place. Is it 1 April yet?

If I am mistaken and mommy and daddy are filthly rich then all they need to do is write a check to the dealer for the car and you are all set.

How do you get any dealer to let you do an overnight test drive for that matter!?

The only drives the guys at the dealership get in a ZR1 is very short in service, or after it's purchased. No buyer wants miles on his new $120,000 car. Go figure.

Hertz 'Rent to Own' is the closest you will get. I did it twice and it helped me decide what options I wanted. It cost $99 a day.

A few weeks later I bought an '08 Silver 3LT from CarMax. But the Hertz experience was well worth the money -- helped me decide what options I wanted.

You could use mine for the weekend, but first you got to buy the Brooklyn Bridge from me.

I bought a 2009 Z06 that had been on the lot for almost a year. It had 32 miles on it. Don't think it was test driven very much. You'll have to buy the ZR1 to test drive it.

A dealer refused to let me take a USED Z06 for a test drive. Shall I say more?

You could call Uncle Guido and have the owner of the dealership wake up with a horse head in his bed....then maybe there's a good chance...
