Yep... We have discussed this in some detail. And I posted some Kerbeck cars under 50k...

Sports cars are in trouble out here. Market turned really saturated.

Kerbeck deals aren't that great. Even for $48k, that car has an MSRP of $55k. Meh.

I contacted my dillerlady about C7 or Camaro deals as I weigh options on fixing :eeyore: . Even with employee pricing, there's nothing making me foam at the mouth. Once again, published deals so not reflect reality.

I honestly don't know how it all works. My only personal experience has been with employee pricing with is greatest of all. I just can't share it, doe.

And I got a lease quote on a C7 base for $605, which is :nope:

I can get a V6 Camaro :manuel: for $350, but...meh. She's going to call me when they get a 1LE in and I can take it for a testdrive.

Pretty excited/curious about it.
