It's too over the top for me, regardless. When I showed my wife a couple pictures of it she asked if I was having an early mid-life crisis and if I was trying to be in the Fast & Furious. 
And I'm with you. When I sat in it in the showroom, the paper carpet protector was turning brown and ripped up. They've definitely allowed a lot of people to sit in it. I also noticed it already had a rock chip on the top edge of the front bumper, despite only having 6 miles on the ODO. I'm one to always get full front PPF done the second I buy a new car, so this was another huge turn off.
That said, the salesman I was working with (AJ) has texted me 3 times in the last 2 days asking if I was interested in coming in to close the deal. I suspect they are getting desperate and latching onto anyone who shows even the slightest interest. I don't think it's unreasonable to think someone could snag this one for a couple grand under MSRP, if you can live with the color.
Personally, I've decided that I'm going to go back to the dealer where I bought my truck (King GMC / Chevrolet in Longmont) sometime this week and try to put an order in for one in Riverside Blue Metallic. They're much closer to me and were a pleasure to work with. We'll see how it goes. |
I'm leaning towards the Wild Cherry, which I hate posting but I did see one in Florida, although it might be spoken for. When he sent me the picture of the ZL1, I returned a picture of my SS Sedan to show him what I was looking to trade in (I figured 2 could play at that game
), which I suspect why he contacted me so quickly. I figure me using my SS as trade bait may make it easier for a dealership to do business with me as they'll have a strong used car that they can mark up to crazy prices. Hell, I came close to asking the dealership where I ordered my ZL1 if they wanted to put my SS on their lot if anything to draw in some people as I'm sure it would get some inquiries.
I think I'll just post my SS online for now and see if I can maximize the price for it while I wait the 3 months that the dealership promised me.
Oh and are you looking for a manual or an automatic?
