How to find a specific SS with less work - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Soulrÿche · 11-30-2012, 12:37 PM

basically i live in so cal and have access to many dealerships in and around the southland.

looking for a specific car (ss/1le/white) or black or red..

and i have to use various zip codes to check the area around.

My question is, is there a easier way? Would the dealership have better tools to do such a search?

thanks in advance.

1LE would probably tough to find at this point in SoCal. Go to any dealer, order one and wait a few weeks...comes in all brand spanking new specifically built to your wants. While waiting, you can make a list of upgrades you wanna do or buy the stuff you want to add to it.

Dealerships have a computer program that they can look at tons of different dealers across the country.

1LE's though pretty much have to get ordered.

Build your own Camaro online. THey will give you the closest matches. A dealer can find them pretty quick too. They also can do a dealer trade so you can buy it from your local or preferred dealer.

Order a car. Doesn't cost any more and you get exactly what you want instead of just close

Just order it.

ya, i see a couple in my area, 2 blacks, a red some are inbound. someone here had ordered one in orange county but i havent seen it pop up yet.

i'll probably go to my dealership this weekend. between pricing them all out, 1le/straight 2ss and a 2ss w/1le the pricing is so close that for me to get a "plain" ss it has to be a good deal

thanks again for the help!

Order one or have a Dealer search for one for you and find the one you want, don't settle, take the time to get the one you really want even if you have to wait a little longer it will be worth it.

I just upgraded to a 1LE last week from a 1LT I had for 2 years, worth every penny, and it wasn't a cheap upgrade, completely worth it! Good Luck and Post Pics when you get it!

cars.com , has dealers in it , so does ebay.

Spend an hour on the keyboard , and you will find one.

I found the best way was to go on the Chevy website and hit CHAT. They helped quickly and got many more results than I could find with the normal customer search on the Chevy website.

Dealers can do it too, but don't always want to.

i'll hit the dealership this weekend. I have time on my side.
