- 2006 Blue Z51 Coupe/2004 STi for the snow.
Got a call from my sales guy at the Schaumburg dealership in Illinois late last week; he was calling all his coustomers who had ordered Z06's and was telling them the bad news. I had a Z06 on order (along with 14 other people) and was told that if I still wanted it, it would cost me 10 grand more than I had agreed to pay! The salesman apologized and said that it was a management decision and that there was nothing he could do. I feel that this really sucks; I had put down a grand in January and signed an order sheet which I didn't read closly. I guess the dealership isn't really locked in to a agreed upon price. I feel betrayed and will never buy from this dealer again. I guess greed is the name of the game.

At least I have my 2006 Lemans Blue Z-51 which I was planing on trading in on the new Z06 when it arrived.:crazy I bet in 2 years they will not be able to charge a premium for the Z06; but you know what; I figure I just saved myself 25 grand. I hope they choke on the damn things. But there are always people out there who don't care about the money; and they are the ones who usually get every thing they want. I could afford to pay the extra 10 grand but it's the principal of the thing; I just will not pay what amounts to extortion.
