Good Deal?

[70CopperZ28]

Hey just wanted some opinons on a price I recieved on a NB Z71 2wd CC w/5.3, 3.42 & 18' wheels. Sticker is $31,540 and was priced $27,300. Is this a good deal? That was with $2,000 incentives from Chevy.

That seems like a good deal

[timwurtz]

it is a good deal if you are happy with your purchase

2WD Z71???????

 

Is GM going the Toyota route and offering off-roading suspensions and tires on 2WD's now?

Yup, I couldnt beleive it myself at first. Who would want a off Z71 in 2WD?

[70CopperZ28]

I do! I like the trucks stance better than the regular Silverado. But taking the decals off would be my 1st order of business.

[ryanmshoey]

I'd drive it!

I'm not a huge fan of a 2WD Z71, I wish GM would have called it the Z66 instead since Z71s have always been 4WD. But I do think they will sell well as most people don't need 4WD anyway and they just buy it for the stance. Ford has even started doing this with the FX2 option.

I had a friend some time ago with a 2wd open diff c 10 chevy. It was unstoppable. I giggled quite a bit in the shotgun seat.

 

4 wd is a bit overrated, very heavy and mechanically complex. 2 wd with a locker would be hard to stop.

Without know the exact options, invoice is probably around $29,000-$29,500, minus the $2K incentives = $27-27.5K. So yep, that's a pretty good deal.

[70CopperZ28]

Yeah I didn't feel it was too bad of deal. It will be a month before I buy one anyway so there was no point in negotiating until I buy one. He hinted the incentives might be better in May.

Seems like a lot of people complain about those 3.42 gears if they're towing.

 

Not sure if that's an issue for you, just a thought.

I agree, if you're going to be running tires any bigger than 30", you definitely don't want those gears.

 

However, I have roughly 28.9" tires and couldn't be happier with the 3.42 gears. Burns tires without powerbraking and still gets decent highway mileage. It is a little doggy in overdrive, but only downshifts when towing up steep hills.

I had to quote this . LMAO ..

 

I got a kick out of that statement . . .

[midasman]

great deal but if your gonna tow you might want shorter tires(but that would look bad) or re gear it. other than that, my father has a 5.3 4x4 with 3.42s and it works great, but when towing a trailer it had to downshift a lot
