Never mind, at first I didn't read the marketing mark-up part.

If you need one, let me know. I will just charge you $1000 on top of the MSRP plus shipping and handling

Well, being where you are I can understand a little bit of markup to possibly cover shipping (I've been to that dealer myself), but that's just insane. I don't quite think anyone's gonna come along and pay that, especially since it isn't even loaded.

I remember my local Dodge dealer had (or still might have) a brand new 1993 Viper RT/10, red with black interior for sale, and they wanted a 125% dealer markup on it.

What other options does this Z06 come with? I'm guessing the one in that showroom is just the base, lowest model? What are optional items you can get and price differences?

why would someone not get a 911 Turbo for alittle more and want to get a Corvette worth $60k? It's a nice car and all but honestly the best advantage it had was the cheap price compared to 911.

Very nice car no matter what. I just could not see myself paying that amount of money for a Chevy.

$50k markup?!?

I would tell the salesman to his face that they're out of their f'ing mind.

screw that, buy a new LS460 and drive in style and know that your car was built with quality in mind and nothing is gonna fall off

not a GM fan and never a corvette fan

I have a friend with a Z06 and he loves it, but I would never pay that price. I could get a Supra and spend the rest of the cash on mods.

The sad part is that they are correct. That car probably WILL sell at or close to the $118,000 they are asking for it. That is why I am in favor of being allowed to buy the car direct from the factory and pick it up at Bowling Green, although this might be impractical for those who live far away.

No, unfortunately the salesperson is not out of his or her mind. See my post above....they will probably get that price.

I remember hearing about this occurring when the Miata came out and to an extent PT Cruiser sales in the U.S. (though not here).
