I just joined the ZL-1 club :)
Hello Everyone:
I just ordered a 2018 ZL-1 today, paid in full! Nightfall Grey Metallic, with the auto trans, CF hood and dash, and PDR. Tentative wait time is about 8 weeks, and the next time I hear from the dealer he will have a build date for me. I got a smoking deal from a dealer in Santa Fe, after shopping the deal by email with all the dealers in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas. I really hate the dealer experience, with the pushy salesmen and the nagging sense you are being bent over and screwed somehow. The email strategy kept them at arm's length until I got the best deal I could. List price was $68,590, including delivery and gas guzzler tax, per the Chevy configurator. They gave it to me for $64,500, and based on my conversations with other dealers that could not beat that, they took a big loss. They quoted me the price, but had forgotten to include the PDR, but they honored the price anyway, so I am very satisfied. I'm stoked !! Limited mods to come: Ported throttle body, catch can, blacked out tail lights, and paint protection film on the entire car. Oh, and a radar detector! LOL !!! Mark R. Albuquerque, NM |

You won't be disappointed! It's a great car and you'll love it. I got distracted during a league tennis match yesterday just looking at mine in the parking lot, and I've had it for six months!

They made money. That’s not an uncommon price.

Well, the price was completely satisfactory to me, and considering I got 6 price quotes, I'm good with it. There are not too many dealers in New Mexico to compete with one another. There is always someone who will get a better deal, I'm sure. If there was one on the lot that had sat for a while, the price would probably go lower for a cash buyer.

That sounds like me. I spend lots of time in the garage admiring my motorcycles. Just a gear head thing, I guess.
