So me and my wife have a buddy who is a Toyota Master tech and he let me know that the brake recall is fixable now...so we went to the dealer and booked the appointment just to have an excuse to take the Supra out for a nice Saturday drive.
When I got there I saw on the used lot a yellow 17' Corvette Z06. I come from Corvette land, Miata land, Z car land so I decide to just take a walk around before I leave. I see a sales lady walking up and I kindly tell her I'm just looking and I just got a 21' Supra 2 months ago. She says well how much do you owe...I tell her my Supra was 57k out the door and I'm not looking for a car right now. Corvette was $70k with 42k miles auto Z07 3LT. She said what if I can get you that for your Supra would you be interested in the vette? To which I responded not for $70k.
Long story short, she went in and talked to here manager...and they were willing to give me 55k for my Supra and drop the Z06 price to 67k...There wasn't much back and forth either to get that deal.
It really had me sit down and think about the Supra. I've always lusted after the C7 Z06...especially after owning a stingray for 5 years and 90+K miles. The corvette had a faded CF top....ewww...but everything else was great . I can say yea that was a good deal...but after an hour or so I passed.
After thinking about it...I realized that the Supra is just a better car for me. I was cross shopping Z06 vette when shopping for the Supra but owning the Supra for 2 months really showed me how good the car is. If this deal would have been around before I bought the Supra I would have never owned a Supra....Glad I gave the Supra it's chance because I'd have missed out!
