2012 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
Redemption Allowance: $1,000

2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
Redemption Allowance: $1,000


To my knowlodge the only way to get over that is with bonus earnings that Chevy gives out when they want to move the previous models out before the new ones start showing up.

I wouldn't count on them having the bonus earnings on the 2013 ZL1. If so it wouldn't be until the 2014 MY and there would have to be an overstock of ZL1's on the dealer's lots, which I highly doubt would happen.

Check out on your link the GM Business Card. No Limits and Caps. The dealer already used my $3400 plus dollars toward my ZL1. It's the card to have if it can apply to you.

was a nice jesture on there part was to round up my points near then end of last year from like 870 up to 1,000 and then double it to 2,000 towards a new car purchase made by GM. The cut off date was I believe the end of February but that gave me the
time span of 2 months pretty cool. The only problem was my car was not ready yet, and the deal excluded the ZL1 which I can fully understand. But if you were in the market for any other camaro that's a sweet deal. Perhaps in the MY 2013 this will be available for the ZL1 as well.

I believe the most we can redeem is $1,000 max credit off the purchase price of our ZL1's at this time? Anyone know for sure? If we can go past that amount that would be good to know.

Keep on using your card if it's the GM Business Card. No limits and as I said $3400+ was applied to my ZL1

Hmm I did not know they had a business GM card i just got the normal one. But I'm kinda shocked that they would allow you that much credit. I
place most of my charges on my two airline cards for free air travel.

GM Family Card for GM families have no limits on earnings or redemption either (except for the 7 year rule), which you can take in addition to any Employee Vehicle Allowance allowed. If you have a qualifying family member of course. Not everyone will be able to get it, but if you can, do it.

Key is to ALWAYS pay off the card every month. Otherwise, you're spending your "savings" on interest, which is counter-productive. I've had the card for going on 4 years now and never paid a dime in interest.

$3400 over MSRP. Not worth it to me researching dealers out of state in the southwest. Then there is taxes, fees, ect. I know what I'm paying in state. It all evens out if I go out of state with transport, taxes, ect.

MSRP was 57,420 I then used my $3400 in points to reduce it to $54,020. Courtesy Delivery, so it was shipped to my state. Not to bad I think. Quite a few dealers are asking for a Market Adjustment around here.

I'm sure some of them are charging this cause they bought their allocation from the larger dealers.

This is the problem I'm running into... Can't find a single one that wants to sell AT MSRP, and I'm even talking about a deposit on a 2013 at this point. Closest is 3k over, and I'm not sure I'm willing to pay that.

Did you have any luck with 2013s and MSRP?

How much do you have to spend on the GM card to save the $1000 off the ZL1?

Probably varies by card and when people signed up. Mine is 5% so would take $20,000 of purchases to get $1000 in GM earnings.

Most of the dealers in the area I talked to said as long as the allocations are decent, like 4-6 instead of the 1 or 2 like for 2012 that they will honor MSRP. I'm pretty hopeful that they will produce at least 3K-4K+ for the 2013 MY. So I think MSRP will be easy to get this time around. The dealer where I used to live said he'll do MSRP, but I know they won't get their allocation til later in the year compared to the larger dealers in Denver.

$3000 below MSRP. Almost at "pure" cost.
GMPP Extended Warranty 84 month/ 84,000 miles = $1399.
Those should be your targets IMHO.

If you want to get a similar deal on a 2013, talk to Chris Goodman at City Chevrolet in Charlotte NC. He is the "internet manager"... He said it was OK to tell you guys he would extend HOT deals like mine to you. He said 2013 would be dealt similarly assuming he gets allocations. They do not take waiting lists, contrary to what some have said. First firm deals you can count on. So when workbench opens up, I'd say you best be ON THE SPOT and don't ever take your eye off the ball.

Good luck with your order.

Bobby Murray Chevrolet in Raleigh NC is where I got my ZL1 for MSRP. They sell all of their vehicles for MSRP. Anyone interested call Dennis Eicher at 919-524-3838 tell him Levi referred you.
