I just went to look at a 1LE at the dealership and...

[solo40oz]

....no, I didn't buy it, but thought I would share my experience. My local dealer had a AGM in stock, and since these darn 1LEs are so rare, I wanted to go take a look. I was on eggshells trying to avoid salesmen, because I wanted to get in and out quick. It was on the showroom floor, so a nice gentleman approached me and started talking to me....conversation went something like this:

ME: I'm interested in a 2014 1LE - I want the recaro seats, etc.. but I wanted to see what this color looked like on the 2013 you have
SALESGUY: Oh this car is awesome. It rides so great with the electronic magnetic suspension
ME: *pushes mute button and nods head up and down*
SALESGUY: They've released pictures for the 2014, but they haven't released any dates on when they will be available or released
ME: I suspect we'll probably start seeing them in September




So anyway, I have seen pictures of the AGM 1LE and always kinda thought it looked ok, but didn't really appeal to me.....now that I've seen it in person....HOLY $hit that color is awesome on the 1LE!!!

And just in case anyone in the Austin area is looking for a 1LE, Champion Chevy (or autonation or whatever the hell they're called now) has a SW and AGM 2SS 1LE with pretty significant discounts. I'm by no means endorsing this dealership, because I have had a couple of negative experiences with them...but this does look like a damn good deal on the website.

btw - I saw a kinetic blue hot wheels...and I think maybe I got a little bit of wood when I saw that color - wish you could get that on a 1LE

Just FYI, their internet price includes all possible rebates which not everyone will qualify for. Just look at their disclosure.

1) Disclosure - Pricing includes all factory rebates, finance rebates, dealer finance discounts, factory trade in assistance incentives, ussa & farm bureau incentives, and store discount, TT&L not included. Please see dealer for more details.

The price is sure to go up on those cars when someone goes to buy one.

These salesman make me wish I could purchase my vehicles from some sort of large vending machine. When I went to look at mine, the salesman asked me why I referred to the car as a 1le. I then explained to him what a 1le was as he breathed through his mouth and stared blankly.

I didn't think we had electronic magnetic suspension?

Agree....definitely can turn into a bait and switch...If I were buying, I wouldn't drive it off the lot if they didn't get the price down to that advertised price. Doesn't really matter, because I likely will never buy from this dealer again based on previous experience.

My local dealership in Vegas has at least 4 if anyone is looking.. Findlay Chevy in Las Vegas!!!

A year down the road and some of these dealers still have no clue.

I have a 2013 Camaro catalog in the car that I once just brought out, turned to the page, and waited for a service manager to read before proceding with the conversation....then he told another employee that it was:
"Just an appearance package".

Hello,

Glad to see you're considering getting a Camaro solo40oz. When can we expect you to have one?

When the stars align as follows:

1) When I'm confident my wife isn't going to throw a fit because I bought yet another car
2) When Kinetic blue is available on a 1LE
3) When I've convinced myself taking depreciation hit on my 2010 SS isn't going to bother me

Pretty easy list, huh?

Hmmm,

That's a pretty interesting list. We'll continue to hope something changes in the near future but until then, enjoy your SS for the time being!

I have been going back and forth in my mind thinking if I chose the right color because I was afraid there wouldn't be enough contrast between the paint/wheels/hood wrap. Hearing this makes me a lot happier haha.

Lmao I feel the same way. When I order a 1LE package and sunroof then to be asked if I want a convertible or coupe makes me wonder why I can't just order direct.

Pictures don't do the AGM justice at all. The color shifts so much from shade to sun also. I first seen the color on the ZL1 before they came out & fell in love. Went I was looking for my 1LE I seen an LS in AGM & really didn't care for it then I seen my car & fell in love with the color again. It looks awesome with the matte black hood & black wheels.
Just look at this color in the sun...

Sounds like I made a good color choice too. :-) Can't wait to see it in person.
