Before I buy my CSGT vert next week....


Recommended Posts

Excellent price - about 5k over what I paid for my coupe, & I though I got a great deal! BUT- be SURE you'll be ok with an automatic; I tired of my 04 Corvette due to the lack of a stick---- lasted almost 4 years, but ended up missing rowing it myself & despite Dallas traffic, I can't see going back to an auto again..... to each his/her own, but try to be SURE you'll be satisfied with the auto.

Seems like a good price to me. It's not much more than I just paid for my 5 speed coupe, which stickered considerably less than an auto vert. The prices may come down more as summer goes on, and gas prices go up, as few people even know that this car exists, and most cars are just sitting around at the dealerships. I first looked at my car in January, then bought the same car in June. They were happy to be rid of it. Then again, if you wait around, the selection inevitably decreases. You might save a bit if you hold out, but you'll kick yourself if you lose the car over a few thousand. Contact Michael Morris (MM) on these forums. He advertised two 08 verts just recently, and has a great reputation for getting good deals. Good luck!

 

Edit: Wow, that was quick. You got it! Congrats, it's a fun car. Now drive the snot out of it!

I'd say its a great price...The only thing that might be missing from the first one that had the Auto Trans is the HID headlights. Also, check to see if you have the Ambient Lighting and My Color dash along with the Interior Upgrade Package.

 

Dont worry if this one does not have it...its still a Shelby GT convertible at a great price!!

I searched out the ones in my area back in January & February until I found one with all the options I wanted. When I got them down to my price, I told them to get it ready I'm on my way with the Check. :happy feet:

 

Never sorry that I bought it, and never had any buyer's remorse since I have EVERYTHING I wanted on it. Make sure you have no regrets about what you are buying and you will never look at someone elses car and say,"I wish I had gotten...." :banghead:

 

These are awesome cars...many happy miles are ahead of you!!

I agree totally what you sadi. But this is my play car. I really dont care about all the optins like radio,lights because it will never be my daily driver. I had the 06 Vista Blue GT stacked and loved it. But I figured I could save a couple bucks and still have a SHELBY!!! I wanted to really know if the 42789 was a good price. It just seemed that, that Automatic one was just a crazy price. Too bad its auto.
