I went to the dealer to order one of these thinking I was going to pay 62k. They quickly introduced me to their markup price on all C8s. I quickly introduced them to my backside and left.

Haha...this happened to me in November 2020. I ended up getting a 2017 Jaguar F-type R...great car....I will be getting the convertible c8 when the markup goes away :)

I told myself I'm getting a 2020 c8 in 2023, and I will! My friends and family will think it's not a good decision on my part to pay that kind of money for a car, but I for once in my life want to own something I've only imagined myself having. I've been working the same job for 5 years and now make enough to afford the payments and still be able to handle other bills, just I would have to cut spending on things I once did, which would be worth it. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my very own and hit the road.

The most capable sports car I've ever owned was an 2013 Audi TT RS. It stickered for $64,000 as I had ordered it new from Germany, but surprisingly, my dealer gave me a discount for such a rare car, and I got mine for $58,000. At a price of $60,000, I think the C8 is very well equipped and more capable than my TT RS (excluding AWD), so I would feel just fine ordering a base C8. Black paint (no premium $) and red leather interior. And I'd be quite happy. Better than the best sportscar I've ever owned, and my first midengine car. The challenge is getting a dealer to order what I want and sell it at that price!

@texasdowner8171 Жыл бұрын

I went full boat and loved that I did it complete car cost for 2023 including extended warranty for car and wheels, well worth it, front wrap, tinted windows, and UV tint for front windshield. Over sticker was $10, 000, total in this 2023 $130,000 including sales tax. Love this car and you also get a discounted trip to Ron Fellows driving school, definitely do that tons of fun.

@shaunmccuin5954 3 жыл бұрын

I totally understand why you kept the price down. It allowed you to make your own unique enhancements. Sort of like someone buying a Camaro 1lt then doing their own unique mods without breaking the bank in the process. Nice car. Looking forward to you performance reviews and how it compares/contrasts to your Zl1

@carlosbernard5145 3 жыл бұрын

Ride looks good af! Love how you did the two tone. I love that look but also don't want to spend the extra amount for the convertible. I plan on doing a very similar build, but Arctic White and red interior, then blacking out the top as well. I want the transparent roof though. Having a Tesla has spoiled me on that feature. Can't wait to hear the exhaust. The stock exhaust leaves some more sound to be desired.

Also sw a vid of a guy who had I believe the 3LT the interior was super nice It had 3 tone was sky gray with black side and some yellow strips on each side ..I'm guessing its not an option on the 1 or 2LT ? So I'm wondering is it possible to get that aftermarket then just sell my stock seats ? Thanx for any reply or info

They wil call when their 3 months asay for me to pick options I have a bit of electro sensitivity IO hate all this wireless junk sitting right next to a wifi router gives me severe headaches in about n hr , so I wanted to stay away from all wireless junk or as much as possible.Anyway would a 1LT have less wireless things ? Id like to get the 2LT but only if most of the wireless can be disabled , Do you know if wireless like the wifi other wireless things can be disabled ? Also I have a C5 now had it brand new for 18 yrs now but I always scrape goin out of my driveway , So id like the the lift option, did you say you put an after market in for only 200bucks?

What about the Z51 axle ratio? Does it give you more acceleration? I wouldn't want a higher ring gear in my Z06, because first gear would be unusable (which it was even stock before I got taller wheels), but with the 8 speed auto, could be really useful to launch like that.
