Recommend me a dealer for a ZL1 (Ontario preferred)

Hi folks.

I'm in Guelph, but I'm not limiting myself to the Chevy dealer here. Nothing against them, but I'm open-minded and would be OK working with pretty much anyone in Ontario. Obviously southern Ontario would be preferred, but not a requirement. Out of province is also an open possibility, but I'm not sure what I would need to do to bring it to Ontario - if it's easy enough, I'd consider it too.

I'm wondering if anyone on here has had any great experiences with a specific person or dealer here.

As the title suggests, I want a ZL1. Obviously I'm not going to pay way over MSRP for it, which is why I'm asking on here. If there are no good recommendations, I suppose I'll just have to shop around until I find the dealer willing to give me the best deal, though at the same time, I'm not going to wait around after they hit the lots.

MMMMMM ZL1.
I might have to get me one of those too.
Even though my 2010 has more HP.

Whatever you do DO NOT GO TO GATEWAY CHEVROLET TO BUY THE CAR OR SERVICE IT
Oh and you have to give everyone rides when you get it!
Me first!

@Stratman- The dealer in Guelph I talked to last year told me about a guy who bought a loaded 2SS RS and took it to Lingenfelter... I wonder... could it be? ;-)


@Allanski and Ron- Thanks! I'll have to get in touch with each of your recommendations.

@TJ91- Appreciate the advice. I will stay away. I'm sure you have a good reason for saying that. As for rides... we'll have to see about that.

I bought mine at Paul Sadlon's in Barrie.
I don't think there are many Lingenfelter camaro's up here. I have seen a few vette's though.
I might be taking it back down for a little more in the spring??

I bought mine from Beverly. She got me my car in 2 months while everyone was waiting like 4 months or more. She's excellent and highly recommended.

I bought mine from Wills Chevrolet in Grimsby last Feb. Dan Wilson knocked money off without me asking & I had the car by the end of April. They sell a lot of Camaros & are great guys to deal with. The service dept. knew about the problems with the PDIM last fall & were waiting for the part to become available, so they know their Camaros.

Jenn - thanks. For a car that I'm assuming will cost me over $60k after options, destination, taxes, etc., I'm not too concerned about a couple hours drive to Aurora. I'm planning to buy this car because I love driving, so there's no issue, really.

Ron - Funny enough, I live in Guelph but work in Waterloo... The back roads north of Guelph leading into work will make for an awesome commute in a ZL1. My poor old GTP was great fun.
