I tried to trade my 15 Cts-V coupe for that car but could not make a deal.
Thoughts on the price?

for a practically new 2012, the dealer might settle for a couple of thousand less...one can argue it's slightly high,
but low miles & white exterior might make it more desirable...
there is no perfect price...it comes down to "do you want the car or not" and what else are you finding...

GM is a first class d-bag, had a real hard-on as soon as he answered the phone...price at 79.9 they offered 60K for my car I agreed but they will not pay shipping for either car so I would have to pay 24K plus my new 15CTS-V, I dont think so,lol..No wonder they still have it

should a dealership not make a profit?
did you expect to make a profit on your car when you bought it?
the GM had a hard on? so you called and asked for the GM to work a deal instead of a salesman, sales manager, general sales manager? I'd probably wonder why I was talking to you about one of hundreds of cars, too.... The ZR1 is probably not on his radar unless it's super old inventory.
a business wants to stay in business not unlike life wants to remain alive. you don't give all your food away and starve to death, why would a business give all their profit away and....starve to death? you can't stay in business by breaking even.
life is too short for worrying about dollars. if you can afford it and you want it, get it. if you can't afford it, stop shopping. next time don't buy a cadillac when you're really a chevy guy.

Sounds like shipping cost is a concern. So if you don't care about higher miles and have the time, ship the CTS to him...Utah to WI (that shouldn't be bad), and drive the ZR1 back.
I haggled with my dealer for 3 weeks for a looow mlge '10 and we finally met somewhere in the middle. He knew what he had. FWIW.

as was said above, do you want the car?
A)Not bad enough to take it in the *** on price..Not all of us are made of money like you.
should a dealership not make a profit?
A) Theres a difference between profit and greed. They dont call them stealerships for no reason. You talk like someone in the used car business
did you expect to make a profit on your car when you bought it?
A) I will not even give you the courtesy of a reply to such a dumb question.

A) On their radar??? Its in the MIDDLE of their showroom!!! For your information I WAS CALLED Back by another salesman who told me the GM is an asshat and we tried to work something out but they were stuck on 20K +4K shipping(I want enclosed) and open was still 2.3K.Iam NOT going to drive a 600 mile car 1,400 miles back home as thats not a great way to break it in plus the numerous rock chips and mechanical problems that could crop up..
a business wants to stay in business not unlike life wants to remain alive. you don't give all your food away and starve to death, why would a business give all their profit away and....starve to death? you can't stay in business by breaking even.
A) Thank you Captain obvious! You DONT know the details on how much they bought the ZR1 for so how do YOU know what they are making??

Maybe I do know your financial situation after all.
What makes you think I have any money? I don't ask how or what to purchase on public forums....
Where do YOU think the line between profit and greed is drawn? Seriously, where? Is it a dollar figure or a gross profit percentage?
I don't need to know what they are making. Why is that relevant? What matters is what they are asking and what you are willing to pay.
BTW, if I sound like a used car salesman, you sound like an artist.
It costs Apple 236 dollars to make an iphone they charge 700+ for.....and facilities that sell and maintain/repair automobiles are the thieves? Yeah..... The profit on your TV, phone, shirt, shoes, food, etc is astronomical compared to your car, at least at the retail level. The manufacturer makes all the money.

This explains everything about your babbling rant.
Biography
Auto Industry (25 years)lol.......

You do bubba because you asked this question...below
YOU>a business wants to stay in business not unlike life wants to remain alive. you don't give all your food away and starve to death, why would a business give all their profit away and....starve to death? you can't stay in business by breaking even.
So you are telling me by selling one car and making 10K instead of 20K their business is going to fail......
By the way used car salespeople and real estate salespeople are some of the most lowly respected people in business..
I will take artist over used car salesperson all day long,lol
I know your one of those people who has to put his 2 cents in on everything and get the last word so go for it, arguing with an idiot is just a wast of my time so I will not reply.

Not everyone in the automotive industry or real estate industry is in "sales." What does "lowly respected" mean?
Keep fightin 'em, one day you might start to enjoy life instead.
