I'm officially an OWNER... Finally!!!!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well boys and girls... I've been waiting patiently for the planets to align and the gods to shine upon me and that day has finally arrived. I've been stuck in a lease to a 2007 Grand Prix and have been trying everything I could short of driving it off a cliff to get out of it. Last week, I got a thing in the mail from GM telling me they would graciously pay 4 months out of my lease plus give me $1,000 loyalty cash for currently having a Pontiac. At that point, I started looking for my new love. I dealt with Penske Chevrolet here in Indy. Patrick, my salesperson was quite helpful and pretty cool to deal with. They did not have the particular vehicle I was looking for (1SS, auto, black, polished aluminum wheels) but, did a search and located several that weren't too far away. A dealer trade was worked out and Wednesday she arrived. As far as pricing goes, I got all the discounts I was entitled to. I got GMS pricing. I got the 4 month pull ahead. And I got the $1k loyalty cash. I even got a decent interest rate for 72 months, 4.14%. The car is amazing and I'm having a blast driving her. I've already been pulled over doing 80 in a 55 and got off with a verbal warning. Cop told me to keep it "around" 55, smiling. Ha!!!!

In any case, I'm glad to be part of the family now.

I think it's darn good!

Turning radius - curb-to-curb (ft / m):37.7 / 11.5
