Well, they appear to be about that price at all CarMax locations. If they weren’t, I’d just have one brought over from another site. I’ll talk to them about why that is. I don’t think convenience is worth 18% over retail on the car.

It turns out that ZL1 is way overpriced. Retail on it is like 31k. They must be smoking the good shit.

That would be enjoyable. As it stands, CarMax has none in manual. If they did, I would jump on it.

At least I won’t be able to see the tree that’s about to kill me. 580hp would be sufficient though, and I think the ZL1 looks better than a standard Camaro.

Yeah. Looks like it just isn’t going to happen.

Now they say they won’t sell it at all. So, basically, fuck ‘em. I guess it was meant to be the owner’s personal car or whatever. Pretty shitty car dealer, but whatev. I’ll reach out to that Cali dealer and see what they can do for me.

I’ll see if that would work. Three hours is a long drive.

Might be something worth considering. They want me to bring the 335 in though for an appraisal.

No, but this one is farther away and he doesn’t want to drive that far to just look at a car. Not to mention, I still don’t have that kind of time to commit. It would be at least a nine hour day.

Maybe. It’s far away though, which is annoying. Not going to be able to go that far for a bit I don’t think.

Well, things aren’t looking great. One of the ones is a demo, and the other might already be sold. Not sure how it’s going to go now. Really don’t want an automatic.

Well, I used to have a Mustang GT, so I’m not new to that kind of power.

Neat. How many dollars?

Shhh. One step at a time. 415hp is enough for now, lol.

It’s white with no options. Gotta go cost effective, eh? The hype is real.

Yeah, I’m excited. There are only two manuals in trade range, so I told to expedite. Hopefully this weekend.

Well, it isn’t perfect, but I got them to $42000 all said and done. Moving forward now.

Yeah, it’s a good deal. But getting fucked on the trade is not something I’m keen on, even if it is still a pretty hefty discount.

Well, maybe. They offered me a frankly insulting $19000 for my car, when KBB trade value is listed at 24500. Going in to discuss this discrepancy with their manager tonight, but still rather disappointing.

Fingers crossed. If true, I’ll probably be going in tomorrow to move forward.
