What are your thoughts on this? I love the Cyber Grey Metallic but my GM dealer is making an offer I can't refuse on the red 2013 model.

What is the deal and how much out of pocket will you have to give up?

Its the same car......

Think about it. The only winner is the dealer. You say you love your Cyber Grey but are willing to spend more for a Red a year, maybe, newer. Who wins? The dealer makes money on the Red one and then sells the Cyber Grey and makes more money.It's your car and your money, why ask here?

Good luck in whatever you do.

nailed it...its a lateral move...jmho

About the only things you will gain is a longer warranty and new tires. Is the difference worth those two things?

highping

No out of pocket and a lesser payment with a lower term. They seem to be very motivated.

I come here because I value you guys opinion...

Mr.Nubain

I think the GS looks bada$$ in red. If what your saying is for real, go for it. What are the specs of both cars? I dont get how you wouldn't be throwing some more bones down, but if you dont have to thats pretty cool.

RocketDawg

By lower term do you mean a shorter time period to make payments? Sounds like you're getting a lower interest rate and would save money.

If that's the case, go for it. No reason not to assuming it's equipped like you want it to be. I would.

They only have black and torch red on the lot and my wife originally said black due to not attracting the PoPo. Once I took her to see the cars she immediately said red!

I do have an Escort 9500ix with the Blendmount so all should be okay...

highping

You are spot on...and the only reason I am thinking of doing this!

flange

There is a reason they are doing the deal. maybe they just want the new one off their books? maybe gm is offering them enough incentive to clear the inventory, maybe its a lesser car, who knows?

The old saying if its too good to be true.....perhaps it is.

look at it hard before taking the plunge. from my chair, if you get the same car, for the same money and want the red, why not? also another year of warranty? I can tell you this, I bought a night race blue 427 vert. if I could find an orange 427 vert new right now, I would make the move too. I like change, and find that combo to be to my liking.

RocketDawg

They probably are getting incentives from GM, but that's OK. Might as well give it to the dealer, and let them pass part of it on to the buyer. The dealer has to make a profit to stay in business. And they might very well be able to sell a 1 or 2 year old used car, most like Certified, easier than a new one. Lots of us buy used.

BTW ... the idea that police go after a red Vette quicker is a myth ... or so some say. I say that with tongue in cheek since I have a red one (crystal red, but still red) and got my first speeding ticket in over 20 years a couple of weeks ago. It was in a speed trap though ... nasty cops.

Seriously though, red is a better choice. Black is REALLY hard to maintain, and I say that from experience. Every little minute scratch shows up.

I think you are crazy but that's just me. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Kingspoke

As long as you figured in sales tax (again), registration (minor), insurance (very minor), and depreciation (trade in).

3GenVettes

With the $3,000 owner loyalty money that you qualify for they can sell you the new one for less than they could sell it to a buyer who does not qualify for that incentive. They can sell your car to first time buyer for a better price than they could sell him or her the new car. So it becomes a win-win.

peter pan

I would pull the trigger is you will have lower payments and no down, that is a one time deal

hdkeno

Go for it.....

It's only money

Hell yea, but then again I'm partial to Torch Red. I went from a '12 coupe to a '13 GS. Both Torch Red.

dvilin

Does not make much sense to me, same car basically different color. If you were moving up to a C7 with a great deal than that is another story.
