WAITING ON HUD

nUcLeArEnVoY · 10-17-2008, 08:49 PM

I'm waiting. I have over $10,000+ to put down already, but I want to have 25K to put down to minimize my payments as much as possible, which I'll have by late 2009 or early 2010. Thank God I'm patient, it's really hard not to. I almost bought a new Chally.

Dunk31 · 10-17-2008, 09:21 PM

I have no choice but wait. I had plans of being one of the first to order, but I just found out when my next deployment is and it doesn't make much sense for me to buy a car, drive it for 6-8 months and then have to store it for a year. So I'm just gonna save all my deployment money and get the best money can buy in 2011 and pay cash. Plus all the goodies will be out for it by then. I guess for me I get lucky in the sense that I'll only have to watch them drive around for a few months, cause I promise you I won't see any in the desert...LOL

Haha, just because you said that, watch a 2010 SS be dune-buggyin' out there in the middle of nowhere while you're in the middle of your current mission.

Optimus Prime · 10-18-2008, 12:10 AM

I was going to order today, cause I was told by my salesperson, who seemed rather knowledgeable and fair, that I would get 1.5% over invoice because I work with the sheriff's office. Well, I went in today and was told by the dealership owner's wife that there was no way they would honor that discount, and would only sell at MSRP. On top of that, I was initially told I needed a $500 deposit, but today it became $1,000. The deposit doesn't really matter, cause I have the money either way, but it's the principle. I also took a good long look at Cyber Gray and Imperial Blue on other cars, and I decided I really want Imperial Blue.

So in the end, I decided I didn't want to pay MSRP. I shouldn't have to pay MSRP on ANY car, especially not in the current economy and automotive market. It's a buyer's market out there, plain and simple. So I'm gonna wait a bit until dealerships start making better deals, which I believe will be MUCH sooner than many people think... And who knows? Perhaps by the time that day comes, I"ll be able to get the blue AND the HUD.

linkwpc · 10-18-2008, 12:13 AM

I just want the HUD.... Plus I want to put more down too!

SS4EVER · 10-18-2008, 12:15 AM

I have no choice but to wait until within a couple months of my lease ending in summer of 09, so I'll be purchasing a Camaro hopefully by May-Aug of 09....

Sharpe · 10-18-2008, 12:58 AM

I'm waiting for the second year, I think. It's going to be hard, though.

What sucks is, I bet for the third year the V8 will be DI...

tav8ws6 · 10-18-2008, 01:15 AM

So far, I know exactly what i want on my Camaro, however, ill be buying it in about 2 years when i graduate from college as a graduation gift to myself. how much is a college grad discount? haha

*TAG UR IT* · 10-18-2008, 02:49 AM

Go ahead and wait if you will, guys and gals. But, remember this...

Turbos on smaller engines are the way of the future....it seems on a lot of cars. If you want a truly affordable V8 THAT HAS POTENTIAL to be SO MUCH MORE....don't hold off.

Go get your SS while you can now. It might be there later on....but also might be in V6 turbo form. You just never know. I know I'll be safe.

Hylton · 10-18-2008, 07:43 AM

And to add to Tags post, remember what Bob Lutz has said - "Get your ZR1 now". That comment added to all the chatter within GM about fuel efficiency tells me that GM will be stepping away from these "big" V8 engines.

Not saying that they won't build a supercharged V6 with as much HP as our L99/LS3's but they are going to focus on better fuel economy VS more horsepower.

Dude I'd lose it!!!!!!!! I'm gonna order mine while I'm deployed. I have a couple friends that work at a dealership in MO and I'll be getting out after I get back from my deployment so I'm gonna order it while over there so I still get my military discount...

I think I'll go home on leave b4 I go and tell them what I want and then I'll call and confirm any new options and see if I can't just order it like that? If not I'll order it while I'm home on R&R and I'll just schedule for someone else to pick it up if that can be done. That way I make sure I don't miss out on exactly what I want. Don't wanna give them too much time to change my beauty!

SoFlaZ · 10-18-2008, 12:35 PM

Yes I have to wait at least a year from now.
1. I'm broke
2. I'm in college full time
3. No job yet
4. Did I mention I'm broke?
