Sure, you can find a good deal, but this will be amassive sticking point for the performance vs price argument that has largely had limited checks in it from the competition.

You want markups? Just wait until those Chevy dealers get a shot at the C8. The markups are going to be epic.

Yep, but the supply isn’t artificially limited. First few months , sure.

Which is why the “gotta be first” crowd is especially stupid .

You say that like the average listing price of a C8 is going to be under $100k at any point within the next year.

Also, watch the markups on the Porsche Taycan. The deposit is $2,500, which is a low entry fee for a car that will be easy to flip.

I was at a pca event where someone was going over how 2016/2017 gt3 rs took a nose dive when all the speculators started dropping 2-3 year old models with barel y double digit miles. He was not confident the 991.2 holding up with the market flooded .

If ALL the speculative investors took a nose dive I’d be happy.

Like a good party filled with douchebags, I’m happy to peace out. I loved my Fiesta ST for everything it was and wasn’t, but I hate Ford for doing limited production numbers on cars people could actually purchase. Never buy another. Chevrolet with that C8...

Porsche wants to do that limited production bullshit to keep insecure investing types happy with their values after the 996 turbo fiasco, fuck ‘em. Scarcity is one thing, fragile egos are another.

As GM pumps out 30k a year I can’t see that working with dealers for more than a month or two.

Samesies

That’s what I was trying to say. GM isn't doing the limited production bs with this car. My conveyance of sarcasm with my idiotic writing skills gets the best of me frequently.

The 996 turbo pissed off a lot of loyalists because they didn't restrain production of the turbo and values didn't hold as well, etc.

well they weren’t hand assembling them. before production really was limited.

its like the 50 year model, the 911 R bs. people still dropped 50k extra for one. when you offer a limited edition, every year, how long till the con gets called out?

True, but they vowed to restrict production on future turbos after that.

Just go to kerbeck or the place up in new hampshire that have huge allocations and you’ll be fine
