Has anyone tried to take their ZL1 to the dealer to trade

Thanks, Rob

Trade in will differ based on location on what your dealer wants on their used lot. BeckyD said that she already had one on her lot and apparently in there area they don't need one. I've gotten am offer as low as $40k and I walked out, lol. They called back offering me more but I never went back, not a fan of dealership games.

I know it's in the CTS-V but the ZR1 I've never heard that one. I don't think that's true.

Nope, if you look up wiki you can read about it. The internals are different, intake is different, blower is different. I could be wrong but I think the LS9 is all forged where the LSA has the cast pistons.

Most magazines will say its a detuned LS9, but they say that because its still a 6.2 What do they know

Totally not true. Different engine. Yes both are 6.2L but that's about it.

I was looking to possibly get a '13 ZL1, '12 300 SRT8, '13 JGC

How many miles?

I'd compared the GT500 motor to the LS9 than to the LSA

The LS9 is all Forged I believe.. good stuff

LSA has a smaller blower 1.9 vs. 2.3. Single brick intercooler vs. dual for the LS9. Powdered metal rods and cast pistons vs. titanium rods and forged pistons for the LS9. Steel valves vs. titanium and hollow steel valves for the LS9. Plus different cam, intake and other things. Similar, but different at the same time. Both great engines, I have one of each!

I am also getting ready to put up For Sale a 2013 ZL1 Convertible ..I ordered a 2014 ZL1 Convertible that will be on line the week after next...I have had a lot of success dealing Privately rather then go to a Dealer, but I do actually trade it to the Dealer to get the Tax Break here in NY which is 8 Plus%..
Also have to do the same with my ZR1 Corvette when the 2014s arrive but I have 2 People who want it already....
By the way I have had Success on Auto Trader over the Years....Harvey

Why are you selling a 13 to get a 14? Also, don't you take a big hit selling brand new cars that often? I see a lot of people on here with 6 or 7 cars in their sig all 1 year apart, 08, 09, 10, 11, etc. What is the deal because I'd love to upgrade all the time, but financially it seems like you'd get killed. What's the scam? I want in!

Damn man we are in the same boat. I was thinking about trading my 12' in for a 13' mainly to get a manual but I'm also thinking about a charger, 300, or Jeep SRT8. Has to be a 13 ZL1 though because the rearend on the 14's haven't grown on me yet.

I see a trend here.

I too am considering selling my 2,600 mile 2013 ZL1 vert, CRT with black wheels, blade spoiler and Roto-fab., looking toward the new Vette. If someone's interested in the Lexington, KY area, PM me. Remember, 2013 is the only year you can get a ZL1 vert with the awesome tail lights. In 2014 the rear end changes.
