A local dealer has two '05's, a black and silver one. They have been marked down to 49k and 48K, a couple thousand less than sticker. Anyone know why? The black one gave me a woodie, though I couldn't afford it and keep my car unless I lived off ramen noodles

 

Um, supply and demand?

 

funny on the woodie - haven't heard that one in awhile.

 

Ummm, Ramen noodles are how I afford my Vette. "Shut up kids and fix another bowl of Ramen noodles." Works for me. I love the CTSV. I am so considering the trade-in of all my cars for one.

Sounds like an easy solution... ramen noodles it is!!!!

 

They aren't flying off the lots, kind of like the GTO. I'm hard pressed to think of a US performance car that hasn't been marked down new whether it's been the ZO6, blown SVT Mustang, etc.

There's a leftover 04 here marked down to $45k.

 

How are these cars holding their value on the used market? I'd consider a used one in a year or two perhaps.

 

I just traded my '04 for an '05. Paid $45,500 drove it for 20,000+ miles and got $36,000. KBB and Edmunds have private party sale @ $38,500. My guess is if/when the '06's come out with inevitably more HP the '04's can be had for high $20's with miles. That's the time to get in cheap imo.
