That was it folks, I was in love. So my search for a good deal started. I wanted a Red Grand Sport M6 with 2LT. Every one that I found was overpriced and the dealerships wouldn’t budge since I’m not a previous Vette owner. But with patience, I found this amazing Velocity Yellow and bought it last week.
Now I can sleep waiting for her to get delivered to me. Hopefully by the end of the week she will be here with me!
so dealerships won't negotiate unless you already own a vette?

Yeap, gotta read the fine print. Many rebates come from owning previous Vettes, trading a Vette or Chevy loyalty. Is crazy.

That's just the loyalty rebate. It's 3k, but there are other incentives. One can ALWAYS negotiate. I did

Congrats, tho. I am also your age and recently went from z to vette, tho I went used z06

Don't get me wrong, I got a hell of a deal but it took some patience and a lot of bartering. Another reason why I didn’t go with a Z06 is that is not a Targa. I love that feature, I also got the Glass roof!

The targa option had me considering GS, but I couldn't get over the z06's sound and feel. But I got mine certified and paid for 3 years extra warranty to cover my behind when the ls7 kills itself lol
