I just bought a new GS 3LT with nav, npp, chrome wheels for $55881 - it's new, has a warranty. There are plenty of deals out there - I vote to go new.
Well I did really want the 427 so that is what I decided to go with about 2 hours ago.
I did get a better deal than I posted earlier. Some of you did pick -up that this is in Canadian dollars and while the Canadian dollar is strong right now (almost par) I feel I did get a good deal when considering Canadian pricing on cars. I got the origimal window stiker for the car I bought. In 2008 dollars this car MSRPed at 103,990.00 canadian.
You see we pay a lot more for cars and trucks in Canada. Now with that being said, and two weeks of searching the internet to prove it....I did find some better prices (5 or 6 thousand) on comparable cars, but they were in Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, etc.
When I thought of going 8000 km to pick-up a car and either haul it for a few thousand dollars or driving it and rock chipping the crap out of it, and then dealing with border crossing dicks I lost interest real fast. I got this car for 60,000.00 without all those headaches and am happy as hell to basically have a zo6 that somebody else has paid a major chunk of the depreciation on and it is in like new condition.
Anyway I think I did OK and that is all that matters.
Picking it up on Wednesday and will post pics by the weekend. I really did appreciate all your input. Thanks again!
CONGRATULATIONS..... I am very sure you will NOT be sorry.....your very correct about the depreciation....I just went through that and it cost me ALLOT of money (U.S. dollars-at least it was allot for me anyway). Lets see, the depreciation on the new '09 Roadster around 15k PLUS taxes and that's only because it was discounted so much or would have been allot more.....then the same with new Z06....but that one doesn't bother me....I plan to keep my 'Z for the rest of my life....(49 now). I'm curious, what prices were you seeing in Texas for used 'Z ?? They discounted mine from MSRP $83k to $72300.....I know back in the eastern part of U.S. that are a few grand less.....but not worth going after it or paying shipping to Texas as you said....Anyway....what color is it? Mine is JetStream Blue....with red interior....only 19 like that one....only 518 (2010) Z06's built....
.....marvelous machines....LOVE my Z06..... Welcome to Z06 ownership!!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT....I promise....like Z06man said....."save the wave".... 
Thanks for the comments. Yes it is Atomic Orange.
Don't get me wrong, I always love going to Texas. But it is along ways from Alberta to be hauling a car.
I,m going to pick it up this afternoon and will try and take time away from driving it to snap a few pics and post them.
try not get a ticket on your fiirst day!!!!
All I can say is You guys know what you are talking about. What a car. I am so glad I bought this baby.
I am truley surprised at how much more car this is than my C5. They are not even close. My C5 had the z51 suspension and this zo6 is like a Caddy. Believe it or not is rides almost as good as my wifes CTS. I was actually expecting it to ride rougher.
Of course I had to re-detail it when I got it home. I will get some pics tomorrow night and post them soon.
if you search my posts from when I bought my Z06, I said almost THE SAME thing 
....they are completely different beasts....mine rides better than '09 Z51 did as well.....enjoy....I LOVE MY 'Z
Man just the simple jump in 155hp is enough to shock the crap out of me.
Give me time.
You know when I was much much younger I had a 400hp 67 Camaro. I always though that would always be the strongest car I would ever own.
You know you go through the lean years when you first get married and you never know if your life will ever be good again. Thank God for some sucesses and a lot of good luck I am actually able to afford a car like this. We are all very lucky to be able to afford a car like this.
Some people may think having a car like this is a waste of money. I will admit we all have our vices and getting a ZO6 has been mine. I have often said that any white blooded North American guy who grew up in the muscle car years always dreamed of the day they could have a car like a Corvette. I am so glad GM is able to build a car this strong in todays world.
I just can't get the grin off my face.
