fyi, I have the nav, and I just don't think it was worth the money. I can get better nav from my phone . . .
especially if it came down to Recaro vs. nav . . .
I think if I were buying over again, I'd use Nav money for bra, CAI, etc . . .

When you order the car such as you did, they won't go below sticker other than rebates? I can't find one equipped the way I want, which I actually find quite surprising since I don't think what I want is a strange combo by any stretch.

Mwalterhouse 03-11-2014 06:59 PM

$57,235 is invoice price, 4.5k below MSRP which was 62,450. You just need to know how to speak their language, $$$$$$! they will always negotiate.

There was no trick to it. They were giving me the song and dance until I told them I was putting 40K down. At that point the sales manager almost blew me!

Congrats this is the hardest part.... The wait

HAHAHA!!! I'll be putting about 35k down, so I should be in a similar situation. I'm gonna start visiting dealerships in April about placing an order

Nice color on your ZL1!

Better then the moment after, better then the moment itself. The moment of anticipation.

Go to the GM set and enter your order number then you can track it.

It's funny how dealers think when I tell them how much you have for down or even all cash. Most want to give a loan, they make money on a loan. I put $35k down and did not pay cash because they gave me a 1% loan for 3 years. 1% is cheap money. I am ding the same for the Z28 I ordered.

With rates this low, it's a smart move to put as little down as possible. Besides, less skin in the game if car is wrecked or stolen.

Bigtime53 03-11-2014 08:43 PM

You really should delete the nav. I did not think it was worth the price and with a Iphone your nav is better than the GM one. I ordered mine without it and do not regret it at all. Like someone said use the money for a rotofab CAI or floormats or etc!

I jumped at one of the last 2013 because GM was offer 0% and deep discounts to move them. Free money! I still put $17k to keep the payment respectable

Had to go out of state to get the color I wanted so it did cost $800 for Reliable Carriers to bring it to me. Still isn't here yet

Ok, I must be blind. :eyebulge: I can not find the link to track my order on Chevy.com.

The "blow me" line and your negotiation routine. Luca Brasi also led me to believe that you were a fellow Italian from the NY area. I'm a Brooklyn boy.

I made them an offer then couldn't refuse.

Blackdevil77 03-11-2014 09:03 PM

If I can get a 1% or something that low, I'll be thrilled! My credit is pretty damn good, I just don't know how good they want it to be for such low interest.

Money talks. Excellent credit and cash makes dealers salivate!!!

Now the fun part is over and the stress begins with waiting. It'll be easier when you get your order number; Then you can track it yourself.

Good luck. It was a good experience for me looking back.

I was on the fence about the nav as well. I didn't want the nav or the other extras from keeping me from affording (barely) the zl. The Recaros were a must for me, so I ordered around this option.

owhite3003 03-12-2014 10:58 AM

I 'm sort of partial to that color combo. I like the nav. Congrats!!

The order number is now showing up on Chevy.com status 'Order Placed'. Waiting, waiting, waiting. I feel like Cartman in the 'Wants a Wii' episode.
