2023 Z FS in Pickering

Cabin looks longer and doesn't drop down as much. Thinking my duffle bag would slide right back out of the way... or we could stuff one extra body back there... lol...

Your choice…I wont judge.

Just how many bodies are we disposing of anyway? One in the duffle bag and one just lying around?

 

[Rruuff Day]

No dead bodies as much as that would make the story more interesting.... lol.... I flew northeast into Leaf Rapids Manitoba in my buddy's Mooney a while back. Being the smallest of us, I earned the storage area behind the seats with our gear....Not the most comfortable place to fly. Luckily it was only a couple hours. Then we loaded into a 1951 Beaver with floats for another fairly crowded flight but luckily I scored the jump seat.... The fishing was worth it all though...

The Z06 is still in the showroom. (As of Friday)

 

[Afterimage]

It's got your name on it, make it a double.

 

[CamsC8]

Folks the market is definitely changing. I was offered two different Z06 this week that people are passing on (one in stock, one arriving next week). Too rich for my blood (both 3LZ and HTC with loads of options) as both are $182 and $186k MSRP. Factoring in lux tax that's another +$20k on top...so really $210/$220k...

Call around as I'm sure you'll find a car...

Honestly I don’t care any more. When Apple announces the new iPhone they are available to order the same day and delivered the following week. When car makers announce a new car it’s available to order next year, orders are actually accepted in 2 years and deliveries happen on year 3.

I got on the list in Feb of 2021, and I took my self off the list in in Oct of 2023 because getting a car in 2024 is too little too late.

Or you stand in line for 2 days outside in the rain!

2 days in the rain VS 3 years on the forum

 

[Murray20c8]

2 days in the rain VS 3 years on the forum

It's relative.
2 days for $1000.00 phone or
2 years for a $100,000.00 car.
Don't bother doing the math!

after 3 years the car is now $200,000

Lets hope in 22 months or less the next gov't removes or revises the luxury tax to include higher limits on cars to make what we want more affordable.

 

[Cariboocreek]

Buy a 3500 truck. No lux tax. A 2024 Ultimate Denali 3500HD retails at $132k. But no lux tax. Win win….

Sorry to read you sold your 70th. Your suggestion is correct, there are ways around the luxury tax buying trucks and heavy vehicles. Sounds like you avoided it with your replacement which is great. I was hoping to avoid luxury tax on my next slightly faster vehicle.

what makes a GMC 3500HD exempt from the Lux Tax?

 

[CamsC8]

^^^ nothing. Trucks are not exempt

 

[Cariboocreek]

Yes they are. HD trucks are. See condition #3.

Under subsection 2(1), subject vehicle means a motor vehicle that meets all of the following conditions:

• it is designed or adapted primarily to carry individuals on highways and streets
• it has a seating capacity of not more than 10 individuals
• it has a gross vehicle weight rating that is 3,856 kg or less
• it has a date of manufacture after 2018
• it is designed to travel with four or more wheels in contact with the ground

Examples of subject vehicles include sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, convertibles, sport utility vehicles and light‑duty pickup trucks.

so would something like a F150 Raptor be exempt?

 

[Cariboocreek]

Likely not. Its GVWR is probably less than the magic 3856kg. 2500’s and up typically have a GVWR greater than that.

 

[CamsC8]

Ahhh the GVWR.

But who wants to drive that? Lol. Our Suburban is large enough
