I tried local but they didn't return my calls, emails etc and I heard really low allocation. Going through a dealer in Toronto. Just getting a base 1LT. I really don't need a head up display, and all the bells and whistles. It'll never see the track. I'm a minimalist when it comes to creature comforts and the base cabin is well equipped.

I sold my Z back to the local dealer. The dealer in Toronto didn't really want to give me a solid price on the Z since it was site unseen and 2000 kms away. I can understand that. I would have had to take the chance and drive it to Toronto when the C7 arrives and hope for the best. Didn't want to take that chance. I got a very fair dollar value for the Z and I'm happy with
it. I'll have about 85-90% of the cost ready to go when the C7 finally arrives. I'm in no hurry really and I'll likely get a 2015 anyway since the 2014 allocation is just about taken care of. The thing that helps my situation is my order doesn't contain any of the constraints like carbon fiber dash, CF roof etc. If I keep saving I might change to a 2015 Z06, I don't want to finance very much if any for a toy.:driving:

Yeah, just my opinion on the modding.:tiphat: It's a personal thing only. If I was buying used I'd prefer a car that was as close to stock as possible. Nothing against mods, just not my preference when buying used. It's like a blank slate for the new owner.:tup:

:rofl2: im just joking.

congrats on the new ride. :tup:

Geezers typically have money. As much as I appreciate the GT-R, it seems to appeal mostly to 20-30 somethings that don't have the means to own it outside of a video game.

Anyway, congrats on the order! I have a feeling if I ever came to the decision to swap out my Z, it would be pretty tough to see it go - but you'll get over that pretty fast with the C7. As others have said, pictures are required once it shows up!

like you? :icon17: i see you have a base with no mods = you have no money or the means to buy a GT-R outside of playstation.

IDE rather be a geezer magnet than a rice rocket boy racer magnet the 370z is.

Congrats on the vette! Epic machine in my opinion

I'd take the C7 over my Z any day. GL

oh yah? why dont you go get one then? :confused: they're like $55k otd. pretty affordable imho.

lt_370z 02-28-2014 03:49 PM

probably because its around a 20k+ difference. I'd take the C7 over a Z too if it was within the budget.

I sold my fully built/nitrous C6 Z06. The car never broke down on me. Excellent sports car. You have nothing to worry about. The aftermarket parts scene is awesome for corvettes. Lot's of reliable and affordable parts that deliver serious power. Your in good hands.
