g35 is on option. it consisted of limited slip, and recaro seats. in the ss supercharged model only.
21,000 isnt bad. try to get them down to 20,500

I think its a good deal. Silver is a very nice color for the balt!

also depends on what kind of intrest rate too...I only ever buy if its 0%...

I got my 06 SS/SC with the G85 package and only 5700 miles for about 18,000. The car came with the stage 2, gm header and gm cat back exhaust on it that the dealership installed when it was new.

ask for the vin number of the car...then write it down and call another dealership and see if they can beat that price on that exact same car. that's what i did, and it worked out awesome! just don't play with them too much.

tell them out the door 21,000...that wouldn't be bad at all.

Yeah, the package is G85 and it comes with the Recaros (if it's an early model 07) and LSD (Limited Slip Differential, both front tires spin) Yeah man, that sounds like a good deal. Don't EVER take their first offer though. See what you can manage to get them down to OUT THE DOOR price. I paid 21,700 out the door for my 07 SS/SC with everything you have except the Head Curtains and 6 disc changer. But then I managed to have GM's test dummy for the 07 Stg kits and I had GM stg2 and didn't even know it. lol
