That assumes that the 2007s will be available.
Many people had to be switched to 2007s when their 2006 orders were not allocated for production.
Good weather and more visibility brings out more buyers.
Also when GXPs start production there will be approximately 40% less Base models available.

Right, I understand, but logical thinking (although who would of thought that getting more than original purchase price for a base sol would be logical) says that when these cars come out, getting the premiums that these USED ones are getting may start to fall off. I doubt one will go for a 29,995 base sol with 4500 miles on it (as was posted earlier) when a new one will be ordered for less than that.... just have to wait.
If it were my car, it'd be on eBay already....

I did a quick spread sheet and it looks like about $2545 delta for the GXP when you factor in included options.
That's exactly what I came up with & posted in another thread... (except Brentil mentioned additional items that weren't priced out... not sure if they comprise the Z0K Sport pkg or not, but I've added that below as well... just subtract those #'s below from $5,000).

Whoa whoa whoa, Z0K is an option on the gxp? Whats up with that, i though the gxp suspension was basically the z0k package, whats the difference between the z0k and the gxp's suspension?

$1,095 Z0K Club Sport Package-Base...........$1,095.00
$3,550 TOTAL with club sport pkg
My dealer said a club sport package would be actually down grading a GXP so that's somethin you wouldn't get on a GXP. You only put club sport on the base model to upgrade. So that would be 2550.00 from 5,000.00 , the actual turbo is only costing around 2450.00.

ok, I'm going to remove it from my previous post... as I don't want to create any confusion with wrong info.
EDITING AGAIN: Here's what I found re: Z0K; Z0K-Club Sport Package includes
JL9-Brakes, 4-wheel antilock,
G80-Differential, limited slip, read end and
FE3-Suspension, 4-wheel independent, Sport-tuned.
JL9 & G80 are already included as standard for the GXP, and in the $'s I had listed earlier in the thread.
Z0K is NOT an option with the GXP. (sorry for any confusion I've started!) - I was merely trying to get to a near-exact $ amount of the real differences between the Base model & the GXP... (both ABS [JL9] and LSD [G80] are already included w/ the GXP, & specific $'s are itemized and can be subtraced when calculating the difference). - I don't know what $ amount to associate to StabilTrack, upgraded tires, or performance suspension (or even if it's the same suspension as FE3, which is also part of the Z0K club sport pkg).
Basically, my whole point was just to try to show that the turbo itself is really only costing under $2,000 (not the full $5,000 difference between the GXP & base model). Please, nobody try to order Z0K with the GXP (or even with the base model unless you don't want ANY other options... as you won't get 'em).

Z0K is not an option on the GXP.... the GXP is made up of the different RPO codes already as STANDARD as you said...

Yes, the leather wrapped steering wheel is standard on GXP and they don't take it away with cloth. In fact cloth is the standard trim unless you specify leather which requires balance of premium package.
