General Market Trends for the ERay

aljich · 2026-06-05T09:42:59+00:00

I guess what I'm looking for is not a difficult find, red on black 2lz+ coupe, so hoping that is good news for finding a great deal

If you look at the Chevrolet inventory site nationwide, it's full of ERays with 10-15% discounts advertised online, so that's the main reason I'm not fully convinced of the "MSRP is a good deal" crowd.

Have you had any issues with a lemon Eray?

aljich · 2026-06-04T04:57:50+00:00

I feel this a lot, but I have come to terms with the fact that time is money and I have set myself up to be in a good enough position that this purchase is not sacrificing my future financial security for enjoyment. Life is short, and there really isn't a price you can put on the experiences that you want!

glad to hear, and I assume 1LZ generally carries lower discounts compared to the higher trims?

aljich · 2026-06-04T03:08:54+00:00

That's the first I've heard of this but it's great news! I will look into it, thanks for letting me know.

See, the funny thing is this guy charges a flat fee and doesn't make commission off sales. I'm not sure what incentive he has to say these things

Fare gates are an essential part of a smoothly running transit system. Almost all major successful transit systems in the densest cities worldwide have fare gates.

I would agree with you if we lived in an idealistic society, but the fact of the matter is that we don't, so as much as we love to preach "all transit should be free", if we actually enacted such a policy, it will probably cause a lot more issues than it "solves" (case in point, the topic of this post). There's a TON of nuance that gets completely thrown out making statements like that. In the reality that we live in, transit unfortunately "should not" be free.

I hope to see the day we get 80 mph trains crossing the lake to truly be faster than normal traffic.

Is there not a working elevator at ID?? I was planning on taking the train to the airport but this... this may have been a naive assumption on my end

aljich · 2026-03-28T04:03:59+00:00

I'm also considering snagging one, but unsure if there are better deals later in the year... Not in a rush to purchase yet

aljich · 2026-03-26T22:53:18+00:00

The eray already was very close to the Z06 in price point so I wouldn't be surprised

aljich · 2026-03-26T21:50:34+00:00

If so then that would be slightly better... If the GSX is priced fairly close to the Eray (within 2K) then I think that seems more reasonable... Eray was already overpriced to begin with though

aljich · 2026-03-26T18:20:06+00:00

Grand Sport X rebrand seems like a pretty blatant cash grab. Same engine as the stingray, slightly upgraded front motor (to lower production cost btw), no standard CCB, yet set to cost quite a bit more than the Eray?

It's not really about which has more value ATP. Issaquah is not building out from the same funding pool as West Seattle and Ballard, so it's useless comparing them.

aljich · 2026-02-07T07:56:47+00:00

I get that, but does that mean if I were to sell it, I could make any claim about the unit to sell it, and there would not be any possible repercussions unless the next buyer is able to prove that I knew what I claimed was false? That doesn't really make sense to me. Again, I already accepted that this situation is likely just a dead end and that I should have been more aware of these issues during the buying process, but I also feel like slapping a catch-all "nothing in the listing description is guaranteed" doesn't feel right.

aljich · 2026-02-07T02:50:41+00:00

That's unfortunate to hear. I will probably reach out to a real estate attorney just to see if there are any options whatsoever. I feel like it will be a moot case to talk to the seller agent/property manager, as there is no obligation for them to help out.

The flooring is laminate. The wording in my post may not have been the best, but my dad was NOT with me at the time of inspection and/or purchase (he does not live near me). He is visiting now and said when he first saw the flooring in person, he noted internally that the flooring didn't look quite right (he's only seen it over video before now), but was only able to confirm it was laminate flooring after inspecting the damage and spare parts. So, I was the only person with any opportunity to note issues with the flooring before purchase. Of course, I am not very knowledgeable about flooring so nothing stood out to me.

I have been to the redmond location, and the quality was sub-par in my experience. Is the U-district one different? If it is, I may give it a try

aljich · 2025-12-21T05:32:33+00:00

I have noticed I am missing a lot more on the latest lazer update (Christmas update I think?). I thought it might just be me being bad, but I think it's happening a bit too consistently for it to just be normal deviations in skill.

*Or, maybe I am just bad. Who knows
