Default HOT HOT deals in the US on 2008 z06's!

Can Canadian's import the 2008 z06 now without any bumper etc changes?

I'm seeing pricing at $60,000 for new full load z06's!!

Are the prices dropping again?
Bill.

One dealer offered me $55k US, new 2008, blue, two-tone.
Tempting.

We can. '08's and '09's are no longer on the inadmissable list. AND no bumper mod's required.

It's time to pull the trigger Bill!

How about this deal:

http://www.trader.ca/powerpage/detai...8&adid=7126211


(it's a 2008 Z06 from a dealer in St Catherines, only $69,900 with only 3,600km on it!)

Can you share this dealer's name if you don't buy or PM me. I can't find a single US dealer willing to sell a NEW one.......let alone a smokin deal like that. The US forum dealers don't even sell that low............

Frank,

I'm going to try and work this deal today to see if I can close it. It's the new crystal-blue, 2008 c6z. It's got 800mi. Two-tone interior is very cool. (seats, dash, doors). It's not a GM dealer, it's a Ferrari dealer that took the car in on trade.

If it's a used car, you don't have to worry about the issue of GM US selling to Canadians.
Good luck with the deal, and keep us posted.

DEAL is lost. Car sold this morning to another CDN buyer. He would not disclose who. I should have run faster on this one.
NEXT ONE.

Sorry to hear, but the good thing about Corvettes is that they build forty thousand of them a year, so there's always another...

[b]The short story, I don't have the time to enjoy these cars and decided to maximize my time with my family first and my business. I usually only drove the cars 1-2 times a month./B]

For right now, I'm ok. Get the kids finished through University. Get the wife a new hip replacement, build the business. I'll be ok. I would like to get 4 out of 3 done on that list first. (kidsx2). Let's see, that's four years work....arrgh!

Uh Smook, crystal blue? Maybe that's why it was so cheap...it's not a Corvette Color!
