Give me a ride when I come down for Christmas, please Mister!?

If I drive down (big if!), I'll give you a ride in mine, but I suspect it won't be anywhere near as fast! I'm down 125 ponies on you frown

I can't help but notice that sub 1k miles examples of these are now less than $60k!

With IVA, shipping and all import/vat paid this works out to be £55k landed here in the UK. Very very very tempting to replace the M5 with one.......

Plus cheap servicing and no need for a warranty because the engine will never go bang.

You'd also be better off ordering one in yourself rather than going through the 'Official' GM import, if anything on being more 'tax efficient' and not having to pay new car tax, and the extortionate tax band rate. By being a personal import you end up only paying £225 a year.
I don't think it applies to certain cars because my 1998 Euro-Z28 was the same tax as imported cars as it didn't have an official C02 figure. I think TVRs pay the lower rate for the same reason, low volume exemption.

The ZL1 is also a great car at a cheaper price. You have to ask yourself if you drive a car hard enough to really need ceramic brakes.

Reply to an old post.

Reason a 1998 Euro Z28 is cheaper tax has nothing to do with low volume, it is simple age related. Anything pre 2001 is not Co2 rated and is either 1.6 litres and bigger or less than 1.6 litres.

Grey imports have a similar VED rate to the old pre 2001 cars.
