Hi to all,
1) I bought my C8 coupe/Z51package/Front lift without the mag ride in September 2020. In general, I'm pleased with the car but I regret not taking the mag ride. During the 10 months wait after the initial configuration sending to GM, I've tried to add the mag ride but the dealer & GM said that was impossible.
2) September 2022, my salesman called me out of no where and told me that I can order a new C8 if I want so I ordered a convertible C8 fully loaded including the mag ride
3) The convertible C8 has arrived this week by surprise only 2 months after sending the specs to GM but my C8 coupe is already in storage at another place until next spring
4) The dealer agrees to take back my C8 coupe at the same price that I've paid for but it's selling for 15-20K more on the market (auto trader...)
5) Of course, I have to pay MRSP for the new C8 + the Trudeau luxury tax which is almost 5,5K. The dealer wants to take my C8 coupe out of storage and deliver the new convertible C8 before the end of this month. I will loose $ + penalty for taking my C8 coupe out of storage before next spring + the bank loan penalty since I've just renewed it September 2022 yearly.
My question is should I take or pass the convertible C8? Should I consider myself lucky to get another C8 in 2 months? With all the penalties, the luxury tax and trouble, should I wait for the Z06 or E Ray?
Thank you for your advice and inputs!
Ian
