Introduction, New ZL1, let the controversy begin

I'm new to the Camaro world although growing up in the South Camaro's have always been on my list to own...

I have been reading the past posts on my car, so I guess I'm in for a broad range of opinions....

Have been a long time sports car fan, have had almost all of them at one time

Anyway, snagged a Hertz ZL1 (#17 out of 24)...enjoyed the three hour drive home. Below is my current stable.

Enjoy the new ride. If you are pleased with the purchase, then nothing else matters. I would guess that you have enough success in your life not to need or heed the brick bats from nameless folks on the Internet.

When is your first track day?

It might be odd, but I like the way the ZL1 looks more.

Original in-service dates on those were around September 2019, so the warranty would have a long time left.

How many mile were on it? There was a big discussion on these cars but I see it being a collectors car down the road many of years from now.

Hopefully the place it was taken car of and I hope you enjoy it and it's extra 100 HP!

That's roughly what they're getting for the 2020 SS Coupes, and they advertise "no haggle pricing" which means they really won't negotiate. Without approval from their creditors under Chapter 11, they would not be able to sell any of their cars at a loss compared to what they're on the books for.

Depending on actual mileage on the cars, the ZL1 will likely be offered for more generally in the $75k range.

It's nowhere near that, the Z06s were going for about $60k - Hertz is bankrupt

If you can find a listing for one, that will tell you. I already checked nationwide and there are none listed that I could find right now. The 2020 SS coupes are being offered at just north of $50k which is 100% consistent with what the articles that first dropped two weeks back announcing the bankruptcy stated. In those same articles, the ZL1's that were listed at the time were in the mid 70's, just a touch above $75k.

It doesn't matter that they're "bankrupt". They have filed for protection which puts them in a position of being able to negotiate with their creditors. Right now, the focus is on selling off stock to remove debt and possibly float a little cash into the system. They are not "liquidating". So, they aren't selling cars at a loss / significant loss right now.
