the nissan guy was full of crap....no manufacture can tell a dealership what they can and cant sell a car at....now some states and counties have regulations....as for nissan ?well im a nissan sales manager (or actually was until last friday) when the 350z coupe came out it was marked up 10k in some places...we marked them at 4k over and cleaned house....when the roadster came out same thing except we were at 5k over on it...and again cleaned house....when the aniversery edition we will mark it up again...
as long as there are people willing to pay markup dealers will mark it up as much as they can....the first 350z that sold in the country sold for 93k...first crossfire that crysler sold was 97k (i feel sorry for that guy...that thing isnt worth nothing...lol)

 

No.

Go to corvetteforum.com and look at C6 general discussion.

Most dealers are selling 2-3k below sticker. Some are accepting GMS already.

If anyone pays sticker or higher, they are an idiot.

 

GM needs to choke-up on the leash

 

Okay, perhaps he had said just that particular dealership. I'm can't recall exactly what the guy told me...It was many many moon ago I still liked the fact that they weren't marking them up.

 

I went to one last night and sat in the C6 the had, Very nice car. they had a 3k mark up supposedly for the wheels on it. they were chrome c6 wheels, but to me the did look a little bit bigger than i was expecting, so i dont know.

 

A local Ford dealer here has a fairly base Mustang GT (auto, no interior upgrade) for 3k over sticker....but some Chevy dealers are dealing on c6's. Strange.

 

I ran some errands this morning, and stopped by the local Chevy and Ford dealers to check this out.

Both Chevy dealers had C6's marked up. RK Chevy had 2, and they were marked up $20k each - they called it a "Loan Adjustment Value". Colonial Chevy had one and it was marked up $10k - which they called "Adjusted Market Value" (which is what I'm used to seeing).

One Ford dealer (Kimnach) had 2 of their half-dozen or so V6s marked up $2k (Adjusted Market Value), and the rest were not. I have no idea why - makes no sense. Beach Ford had about a half dozen also, and did not have them marked up.

Neither Ford dealer had a GT on the lot (at least not that I could find), so I cannot comment on those.

 

No, MOST aren't. If someone pays MSRP for a new C6, they aren't an idiot.

 

a few years ago i went into a chevy dealership and they wanted $59 for a normal C5

 

Well I was just at the Motor Trend auto show at the convention center here in Vegas today and got to sit in a C6 for the first time. I can tell you this. I would never buy this car. First of all the brakes are completely inadequate. Even with the Z51 package which this car had, the rotors looked tiny. And the new door handles are plain dangerous. I almost lopped off a finger trying to close the door. If they wanted to use funky door handles like this they should have put them on the top of the door not the side. Lots of cheesy cheap looking parts all the way around the car. If you realy got to have one, wait a couple of months and they will be giving them away.

 

I'm sorry, but...

Did you actually DRIVE this car??? The brakes are the same as the C5, but with LARGER rotors. The braks on the C5 were renound as some of the best in the the world on a factory vehicle. Oh, and since when was a 13.15" rotor tiny??? Oh, and since I have the Bear GT+ system, (which is the same system as on the Vettes) I can assure you they're more than good enough.

Your preference on the interior is completely subjective, but pretty much every other review of this vehicle has praised it. If you are expecting it to look like a luxury car, with some wood trim and such, you're in the wrong car!

Oh yeah, you forgot to mention that a base C6 has 90% of the performance of an '04 Z06, for WAY less. Yeah, that Z06 was an under-performer too.

No on will have to GIVE these away.

 

I did not drive the car nor do I want to after sitting in it. They had other high end sports cars at the show and I can tell you that visualy the rotors and calipers on the Vette looked miniscule in comparison. Sure the Vette is not high end but still. What was realy sad was the GTO but thats another thread.

 

I wouldn't really bash any car so harshly (including the GTO) without driving it. The C5/6 brakes are absolutely awesome (they can easily put your face into the windshiels)! Those other cars must have had some MASSIVE brakes to make a 13.15" rotor look small.

 

Ahaha..yeah, the C6 is a waste...

 

Tomi, Very good point!! Now when are you going to buy one?
