People Are crazy!!

First let me say sorry for not taking a picture, but I kind of in shock. The wife and I stopped off at one of the Chevy dealers here in corpus to check on the price of Halo lights $840 bucks for one, then the body shop was going to charge 1,920.00 to pull off the front bumper and install them. I don't see that happenng anytime soon. But the whole reason for this thread was I saw another camaro in the service area, went over to check it out. It was Yellow 1LT with rally stripes and RS package, no sunroof, no leather. A lady just bought it and they were cleaning it up. SHE PAID $38,753.00 plus TT+L.
I looked at the invoice that was in the seat, the dealer added a 7,500 LIMITED AVAILIBLITY ADJUSTMENT. I can't believe people are paying this much for the car! What have you guys seening in bigger areas.

Actually factory halos/hids are incompatible with non halo equipped cars if I remember correctly

I hope not the chevy guys just told me they were a plug and go item, the only issue was pulling the front off the gain access.

Unfortunately, the non-RS model is incompatible with the halo lights. Found out meself a few weeks ago, and another member found out the hard way. Here's the link to that discussion.

My dealer did not know this, nor did I, for that matter, at the time I picked up my 2010 Camaro. They even ordered the lights for me. However, after speaking with GM, they said this can not be done through GM. I am sure you can pay out the #$$#$ to get it done elsewhere, but you should have went with the RS. MUCH CHEAPER that way.

On a side note, dealer, has agreed to allow me to return the car and order exaclty what I want. This is what I am doing. They are allowing me to keep the car while they find a buyer, but I am not driving it. I have had it for 4 weeks now, love it, but for the amount of $$$ I paid, it should be exactly what I want. Some here may think I am crazy, but I fell in love with the front of the new Camaro from the concept drawings with the Halo Lights. It's just not the same to me, without them. So I am going to return it and order exactly what I want.

The one I have now kind of fell into my lap. (2SS M6, ICE Silver, with 21" GMPP Wheels, Sun Roof, Loaded, Austin,TX. I did not order it, the dealer simply called me because I had contacted them about buying a Camaro. I am not sure how they manged to actually get one in.

If anyone is interested (not to be a salesman) You can contact Champion Cheverlet in Austin, TX. The car only has 1300mi on it, I have not got on it at all,was still breaking it in and it stays in my garage. BTW, Champion thus far has treated me better than any other dealership that I have dealt with. They have been absolutely fantastic.



Anyway, sorry to break the news to you on this. I wish someone had told me, before I bought the car....
