Corvette C8 Z06 - looking to buy
A friend of mine in Ontario, Canada is interested in buying a C8 Z06 but says they are impossible to get. He already has a regular C8 Corvette that he would trade.
Anyone have any connections they can offer? |

It is impossible to get. Even if you had already been on a list. I put my deposit in fall/winter of 2019 and i still don't have mine. I don't even know for sure if i'll see the car in 2023 as my dealer (which is number 2 in the country) basically got no allocations for a '23 model. I'm probably looking at a 2024 z06. But i don't mind because it's GM's first supercar and i want to own that.

Someone here brought back a C8 stingray after owning it a day and a guy that races autoX with us bought it on the spot. He would have had to get on a long waiting list if he wanted to just get a new one at that time. They were scarce at that time. When the owner of the dealership learned this, they offered the guy $300K to buy it back, but the guy that bought the C8 wanted the C8, not 300K. He has two of them now.

A close friend of mine is verified to be getting a C8 Zo6 with almost every option. I know he is going to flip it for big bucks. The dealer added on a $50k ADM which I would have told them to fuck off.

Well sure, the owner could have been making this up...but he has money...much more money than I do, more cars than I do. He doesn't seem to be the type that needs 300K at all. This was his story directly to me, no 2nd hand hearsay.

In order for this story to be legit two unbelievable occurrences would have to be true at the same time. Dealer offers guy $170-200k over market price for car. Guy rejects $170-200k over market for car. They both must really, really hate money!

Which brings me to the point: It's probably going to be hard to get a Z06 unless you just get lucky like this guy did, he happened to be at the dealership when the customer returned the C8, but these things do happen...just not all that commonly. Maybe if you reached out to a bunch of bigger dealers and had some friendly salespersons or someone inside that could help you might get a leg-up on something like this. I'm sure it'll happen...it just won't happen a lot.

I agree. But where I live people will pay anything to be first on the block. I've only paid sticker for one car in my life and that was a Focus RS in 2016.

In all seriousness anyone wanting a C8 ZO6 and not being aware of what is going on in that arena shouldn't even be allowed to have a drivers license .....

I was just on Chevy's canadian site yesterday looking for a DD beater and noticed they have Z06 available new on order. No warnings about not being available.
