First, I'd like to say this is one of the best sites for Camaro lovers. Good info, tips and discussions. Hats off to the Admin team.
This is how I got my new 2010 Camaro...
As most of you know, GM anounced on Aug 10/06 that the car we all love was officially going to production. How ironic, this was on my birthday!!! I said to my wife "I will be getting that car as soon as it's available". The answer I got was "yeah..alright....whatever".
During those 3 years, I have gotten a new job and moved my family 9 1/2hrs away from Northern Ont to Southern Ont. In June of this year, I asked my wife to go for a ride. We stopped at our local Chevy dealer. She asked "What are we doing here". I reply "I'm ordering my new Camaro" She said (this surprised me) "really....you have to get it in black and the windows must be tinted "
So, this dealer is one of those who will no longer be part of the GM family come this fall. They could not place an order for me. I did some searching and found a dealer 1 1/2hrs away that could order one. My new toy was ordered on Friday June 19th with 8 to 10 weeks delivery time. I get a call from the dealer on Tues June 23rd and the manager said "your car just came off the truck and will be available for pick up in 2 days!!!!" I told him to stop his nonesence and what was his call really for.
He said it was not a joke. The guy who ordered it in March cancelled his order a few days before I ordered mine and it was the exact same options. (yes, I did buy a lottery ticket that day and did not win a thing) This guy who cancelled his Camaro got a new Corvette!!
His lost, my gain!!
I was on a 2 week vacation as of that Friday and I picked up "the monster" on Saturday. What a great way to start a vacation.
Hope you too can share a story like mine.
All the best,
Giggy
