They had a red one down the street.. much bigger in person then you would think and I really liked it.. but..
The sticker price was $42k?? wow.. 10k more than a Lightning but it IS a vert so ok..
Then the dealer Markup.. $12,000!!!!!!!!! holy crud.. thats over a 25% increase.. makeing the total more than a Z06 or regular vette vert..
I wondered why its been on the lot for 3 weeks.. now I know why.. who would pay that kind of markup?

That's a good question...someone that is really imnpatient that likes to blow $$$$. There has been a yellow one sitting at one of the local dealerships, I've been meaning to check it out. Wonder if it has been sitting there b/c of a mark up...

I saw one on the freeway the other day. It was red. It was a lot nicer looking in person than in pics. NOT worth 45,000 and definitely not worth a mark up. I really liked the exhaust note.

I saw a yellow one about a month ago, pretty nice but would never pay $45K for it!! I 'll take the new CTS-V instead!!!

someone paid 60K for one that I stopped to look at.
I also saw a used one with 500 miles selling for 40K in a auto locator.

I like it but the sticker price is about $13,000 higher than it should be. Forget the dealer markup. Why would anyone pay into the $50,s for one of these when you can buy a Vette for that much money?

Seeing that the SSR's are starting to pile up at the dealers...I'm sure that markup will dissapate pretty quickly..although spring is aroud teh corner. I dont expect them to sell. It's a pointless car..or shall i say 'vehicle'. Posted by Teri9672 (Member # 1541) on :
the markup is crazy. Tim and I will wait another year before we get one. Posted by 10thhawk103 (Member # 2033) on :
My wife and I have seen a couple and really like them. We both would love to have one (in addition to the Hawk that is). The markup is crazy though. We'll wait a couple of years until dealers come to their senses.

I must say I really liked the truck in person.. it has a nice stance and looks "tough".. sorta hard to describe.. the hardtop/vert part is way cool to watch and I would love to have one..
But I think to be sucessful it needs to be in the mid 30's price range.. there are just too many convertable coupe options in that lower price range.. granted that this is the only one that has a truck bed but how many people are actually going to haul much with it?
I wont even go into the markup.. thats just a tax on stupid people with too much $$ laying around
