Chevrolet offers big discount for Corvette Z06 amid disappointing sales

I may have to revisit getting a Z06. I have absolutely flogged two and nothing broke. With my luck, I'd be the "lucky" owner.

@MD - I was thinking the very same thing. With so much money on the hood and a likely December deal to sell any Z06 on the lot... it may be worth revisiting...

The store here hasn't had trouble selling Z06s, but if there is a glut.. I'm definitely going to see what price I can one for. I don't pay attention to Corvette sales because pickups and SUVs are the money.

With the introduction of the ZR 1 - - you would expect that the now no longer highest level Corvette would lose sales

And the rampant rumors of a mid-engine Zora coming soon - would naturally set people waiting for it as well.

However - all of above are likely to be in the rarified price category - and while low numbers of produced cars do not add up - their profit does.

THe problem with the ZO6 is that there are Mustangs and Camaros that come close for less money - PLUS the fact the right now - the FCA TUrbo-Hemi engine rules the street.

Turbo Hemi??????

Actually - I would like a comment from you MATT - on the phaseout of deductions for FLOOR PLAN INTEREST that is part of the republican Tax Plan right now.

I suspect that IF they actually go through with that - the value of car dealerships will PLUMMET - and car prices will have to go up quite a bit.

And yes Matt - I did misspeak - the Hellcat engine is Supercharged - not Turbo

@TomM You're not interested in a discussion about dealerships. You want to pick a political fight.

No Matt- I simply point out that when floor planing (And that is used for LOTS of industries - not just AUTO) costs are not deductible - that car prices are going to go up - and dealerships will LOSE value.

Not being a democrat or a repulican - and YOU should know that - I have stated it here many times over the years - Politically means nothing to me - I am not an AUTO dealer.

@TomM You are 100% a Liberal and your statements show that.

To pretend that you're a centrist is laughable.

If you were a centrist, you would not be bashing Trump 24-7 as you do.

As I understand it from discussions, the GOP plan LOWERS taxes on businesses which is a win.

You should also know that the finance interest that you claim is not deductible IS most decidedly deductible in the latest version of the proposal.

I simply choose not to get riled up over theoretical threats like you routinely do.

The GOP proposal is VERY beneficial to businesses and actually reverses the we-hate-business stance of the previous regime.

That said, to have an opinion about a tax code that has not been implemented when you are not a tax expert, nor on the ground with legislators, nor knowledgeable as to how the retail auto business works is just idiocy.

Bankrupting dealers would be illogical to this administration.
