Default over MSRP on the Z06 Mega merge

I am curious what dealers are asking over the MSRP for the Z06, anyone have any experience with this? What is GM's position on this?

You’d have to be an idiot to not sell for $100k over if you can get it

Many have provided evidence of dealers charging either MSRP or JUMPING to $50-100,000 over. This thread can have 4 million viewers and as many comments, but that is the beginning and end of the story.

It would appear that GM doesn't really care

GM has said they don't want dealers telling customers MSRP and then requesting big ADMs when the car is delivered. There is no evidence that they have acted on this, however. GM does not seem to have issues with dealers being up front about big ($50K or more) ADMs that the customer agrees to.

Ok willie, where's the 1% that isn't, do you know? I have no doubt there are members here that have personal experience and might share it and that was what I was looking for, not your smart-*** comeback.

You do realize that GM added their own $20K mark up as well in the form of a higher MSRP?

This is different. GM can charge whatever they damn well please. You see, GM paid for all the design, development, creation of the fricken car. Don't like it? There's a Toyota dealership down the street. Jesus, what happened to this forum?

I have a theory about "what happened to this forum" but I don't want a vacation so I'll keep it to myself

That said, it's not just Corvettes....
GR Corolla, Civic Type R, And Bronco Raptor Facing Severe Dealership Markup (roadandtrack.com)

How about a $43K Civic (that's a little hard for me to grasp)... now add a $25K ADM

A local South Carolina dealership plans to On Line Auction off all of their Z06 and other Hi Po variants.

My dealer was asking MSRP for Z06s. Salesman says people are walking in and offering $60-$70 K over so they are servicing those customers first. Can't say I blame them so I am adjusting my attitude about purchasing the Z06. Maybe the E Ray will be easier to buy...

Default The scalping has began. 100k over MSRP on the Z06


Speechless. You should be able to report these people to GM and have them blacklisted from purchasing a GM car ever again.

if the seller is an individual that bought from the dealer and sold within 6 months they will lose out on a 5k rebate and blacklisted from future limited cars plus warranty will be void for the next guy.

Plenty of people with more money than brains ready to purchase. Dealer in CA just posted 2 for sale at 65k over. It’s a bargain 🤣

I dont think a guy pocketing 100k over sticker cares about 5k. Also dont think someone dumb enough to pay 100k over sticker cares about warranty.

And they can also reach an agreement to finalize the sale after 6 months has passed with the seller guaranteeing the car garage kept not driven.

It's digusting. And I hope kharma bites the seller in the ***. But it is what it is.

$100K over would buy mine without a second thought. It's just a car. $100K extra in my pocket would significantly impact my life. Just sayin. Yeah it's a great car, but at the end of the day there is more to life than a single car.

The secondary market on these is going to be huge. If people are buying them at that price, all the power to them. People are going to continue to list them that high if people are finding buyers.
