I was guessing what AZ said. We had a member and her husband some years back get a blue one when they were the latest and greatest and said those reasons, the high payments and just not a good DD and the car wasn't worth the starpower to them not racing it. IIRC they traded for a Silverado.
To AZ list for some of us might need to drive in an area where carjacking is something to think about. Also I was just looking at my insurance renewal trying to figure out why it's so damn high. Yahoo articles which many times are garbage are saying 20% ins rate jumps. This lights a fire under some of our butts to get rid of an extra car or two or could be some who' budget gets squeezed.
IIRC they ride too stiff for a normal person driving on the pothole streets. The fame pushed people to buy them but everyone but racers would be better served by the normal ZL1. Better reviewers said it was even stiffer than a Z28. I just don't find it so "cool" to be jolted that hard every few seconds. I'm gettin' old.
Edit: again depends where you live but car break ins are crazy around cities, they also rob people getting out of expensive looking cars more. Some people are dumping their fashionable rides for more generic looking cars. I saw a nice looking white BMW I was considering with bullet holes in it from his wife getting an attempt on her he was selling for that reason. This isn't a one-person story I've heard it from others after they were victims. Who has the rolex and wallet full of cash and newest iphone on them?
We don't want to get into politics but this isn't the America you grew up in.
