The story is in my sig. If you have a trade in now is the time because they are paying way over book value. Made a deal for my 15SS and took this home at MSRP. In this climate, that IS “A DEAL”

Welcome to the 1LE club FloridaBill. That is a fantastic color! I love my 1LE. Being that you have actually done this help me understand the logic. If they are giving greater than book value on the trade in of Camaros at the moment, wouldn't they also be charging full list or more on the new cars? My 1SS 1LE stickered for around 47k and I think I drove out for 42ish. It seems that even if I received inflated value for my car, I wouldn't be able to deal on the car I am purchasing, such as a ZL1. It kind of seems like it would be a wash economically. Am I off base? To be clear, before the supply issues, I would expect to get some reasonable trade for my car but I would be able to get the price of the puchase vehicle down somewhat.

The used car market is still hot because that is what kept many dealerships afloat during the pandemic and ongoing supply chain debacle. New car availability is still shaky at best and I believe they made a conscious decision to take a guaranteed sale and make a profit on my trade. Some (Many?) dealers are charging well above MSRP for “off the lot” cars, so build and buy is the way to go IMO. Bottom line: I feel lucky to have gotten this deal in the current climate. There are tons of horror stories on this forum and some people may give up. Between supply issues and build constraints and factory shutdowns I managed to thread the needle and snag the car I wanted and built in the span of 15 weeks. There are current constraints on ZL1’s and now the 2SS so I don’t know how long someone will have to wait to get a car. But they did produce a fair number of these cars just a month or so ago.

Have to be new
Got to have that NEW CAR SMELL . I have had many new and used cars in the past. In fact I was a used car dealer for over 25 years . I like to know the vehicle was broken it and serviced right from day one. I am necrotic, I like to run a new vehicle for 1000 miles and drain the trans and diff and refill with redline . Same with oil. I like to use Mobil one European formula oil, and a ac Delco filter or better. I never race the engine till it is up to full operating temp. And I never press the redline or bang gears. Not saying other folks don't take care of a car , but with a new car im sure any thing that go's wrong is the fault of the factory in design or QC , and not my fault.
