Came this close () to buying a 09 Z51 for $43K and some change which was sitting on a dealers floor across the street from the Nissan dealer. Chevy was offering a employee $10K discount. Instead, ordered a 370Z sport model that I believe was around $33k and placed an $8k deposit. They had one located and the car was to be there in two days. Two weeks later no car.

Being there was a hot rodded C4 sitting in the garage it just wasn't good karma with the wife to bring another Vette home. However two weeks later no car so called the Nissan dealer up to cancel the order. The Nissan dealer countered with a $3K discount on a Touring/Sport model for $37.5K. Auh....OK.

The Touring level trim with navigation certainly is nicer, but pragmatically only a $6k price difference which I'm already close to spending on 370Z mods. Now we have apples to apples on the money, about 40 hp less even after mods but with a bit nicer interior.

Sounds like a rock and a hard spot. Still had a lot of Vett problems though.
