i wasnt even really looking for a new car when i ran across the deal on my six month old 2016 Summit white 2SS manual with light gray interior, NPP and nav.

The service manager at a local dealer flips cars every 5K miles and i was in the right place at the right time to pick the 44.5K (sticker) for 30K (33K OTD) Not a nick or scratch anywhere on it and lifetime MPG of better than 21 so i know he hadnt been dogging it.
Anyway in reference to the OP... the only reason i purchased was because the seller was willing to take that huge hit. ( i dont know what GM employees pay but i know what they would have sold me a new one for) Also it will be easier for me to drive hard on the track since its not " new" :-)

Hopefully i can drive the car for a couple of years with minimal depreciation per year.... we shall see how the value holds from this point forward.
