Hello New Member In St. Louis
Hello everyone this is Show-Me-SS. I just ordered a 1SS today from Elco Chevy in St. Louis. I got the 6th allocation of the 9 the dealer has available. I was going to wait until next year but went to the car show on Friday and then to the dealer on Sat. My salesman called me tonight to say the order was placed and was at the code 1100 with the code R6P. He is going to mail me my workbench sheet with the order number tomorrow. I am paying MSRP with any incentives that are available at delivery. I qualify for the supplier discount so I should get that but he said until its official from GM he can't promise anything. I put down a $500 refundable deposit. The car will be a 1SS color is IBM with black cloth, RS package, and Boston Acoustic stereo. I have been lurking here for a few months to educate myself before buying and I'm glad I did. I ordered a new Saturn Sky in 2006 so I have had the pleasure of getting all pumped up and WAITING for a new car. It was alot of fun, so let the waiting begin.

BTW - As far as elco is concerned, don't count on the discount. Trust me, I've tried. Don't veiw this as a bad thing thing. Some dealers are taking it, some arn't. We're just lucky enough to get it at retail. Of cource, you can still try for it when you go in to buy it. Sean |

Welcome from a fellow St. Louisan. Dude, don't worry about discounts. There will be plenty. GM is almost in bankruptcy, sales are down 49% from last year, and things are only getting worse. Another 8,000 people got laid off today. There is no way in hell there wont be discounts on a Camaro.

The problem with using the whole "they need the money, no matter what" argument just doesn't work with this car. Actually, I was told that even the dealer that works there that ordered a Camaro won't get a discount on it. If he can't get, what chance do we have? |

Welcome, Show-Me. I've lived in Florissant, St. Charles and St. Peters over the years. Never heard of Elco, of course I have been away for the last thirteen years. Enjoy the forum!

Elco is on manchester rd in Ballwin, I would guess they have been around for about 20 years or so. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I have made some friends over on the Saturn Sky forum and we get together at times for local runs through the metro area. I hope to do the same with the Camaro.
