Because of the tuxedo or your age?
Spats seem to be the silver bullet.
Looking for some advice:
I can order a CT5-V Blackwing at my local dealer for MSRP with a nonrefundable $500 deposit.
My thoughts: 4-5 month timeline. Which means Iāll get it in the middle of winter, RWD, in MI. Although that logic didnāt stop me from ordering a Hellcat (lmao) Iām not sure why iām more worried about it here. Maybe bc itās at MSRP instead of a discount like the HC?
Anyways, thoughts? Itād be a barebones build with a manual. Strictly to flip
if they have an allocation ready to build id say go for it, if not DM me ill take it lol

They donāt, the 4-5 month timeline includes waiting for an allocation + build + delivery

Ive been on a list for 2 months, currently #5 but Ive been told the build to delivery process is pretty quick if you have a light build once the order is picked up by GM
Ordered 7/16 I think I have a 9/22 ship date. No carbon fiber packs were unavailable so pretty light build.

Shortage across all GM brands. Otherwise, I would have gone Blackwing instead of ZL1

Just found a 2023 on lot being sold for MSRP. Should I grab it? Stats:
Black/black, 10 speed auto
sticker: $103k
options: sunroof, performance recorder, jet black leather interior, driver assist
Would be to flip

How long would it take to find the 36 speakers in that Escalade V?
Depends on your tax situation. And if you wanna gamble on finding a GM dealer to sell the lease to. I donāt think any room if you have to finance in a 8-9% tax state.
Think itās a go, but better if you sell it out of state. Nobody would buy my GMF lease for a good price.
Plus side - you only need to add a bit more for your tag transfer since plate fees are dependent upon MSRP.
Yeah local dealers suck hard. I donāt mind expanding my search 2-ish hours away. 6% sales tax would nip a lot of profit in the ass so trying to avoid that. Autonation is about 2 hours from me, if they offer something good

Yeah might take it down to Ohio and sell it there
Anyone have thoughts on the fact that itās a ā23 and the limited MMR that goes with that? Would I be better off sourcing a lower msrp 2022?
why is that msrp so high? if i plug that build into the builder online the msrp is $94.5k. plus ~$600 for a color.
23s are up 7K from 2022 in MSRP
101 isnāt very high for a 23 when you add an auto transmission, non basic interior, roof, and a package or two.
The heavy / unique cars like this can be scary but also profitable.
A couple perspectives-
If it doesnāt feel right, stay away
If the numbers are solid and days supply isnāt too wild, it may be worth the risk
Seek out connections at high end stores that have a GM dealer in the network
And finallyā¦it only takes one dealer to say yes.
Iāve had a couple of heavy cars where dealers Iāve reached out to wouldnāt even put a number on it, then another store comes along and goes nuts.
Overall, I think if you wanted to take a gamble, some Caddy dealer will always pay you MSRP for it. So you can decide if itās worth about $2K (one month payment) for the opportunity to play the game.
I see cars like this as a fun challenge but you also get to experience an amazing vehicle that outside of this market, perhaps you wouldnāt try? And, looking at this year at a macro level, worst case you spend a few grand to drive an amazing carā¦would it hurt that bad? Just make it up on the next one. Not saying youāll lose Iām just thinking worse case scenario.
