Canadian & American Pricing Estimates
 

As I work in the Oshawa area and deal with many GM factory workers ( well at least until the car plant closes too! :help:) that will be building the Camaro. I've been asking if anyone has heard about the pricing for these Camaros. The general rumour is as follows:

Base LS Coupe = $ 26,000 CAN ... $ 23,000 US
Base LS Convertible = Not due till Spring 2010 expect to pay $ 7,000 over Coupe SRP.

Base LT Coupe = $ 30,000 CAN ... $ 27,000 US
Base LT Convertible = Not due till Spring 2010 expect to pay $ 7,000 over Coupe SRP.

Base SS Coupe = $ 39,000 CAN ... $ 33,000 US
Base SS Convertible =Not due till Spring 2010 expect to pay $ 7,000 over Coupe SRP.


*** Please keep in mind that these are only ESTIMATES and not the actual SRP's *** However, it is a good place to start from as I know most of us will be purchasing "Fully Loaded" vehicles so expect to pay up to $39,000 CAN or $ 37,000 US for a tripped out RS/LT V6 Coupe and a heavy $ 50,000 CAN or $45,000 US for a RS/SS V8 Coupe.

I will try to update with firm pricing as soon as the info is leaked my way.:thumbsup:

GM's main goal in pricing the new Camaro is that it will be very competitive to that of the Ford Mustang '09, hopefully, they will keep to this principle as I have no problem forking out up to $40 G's for an RS/LT V6, but don't ask me to pay any more otherwise, some of those options will have to be scratched off my list. :cry:

I hope this info helps and am wishing they are all a little on the high side too!

RetroDude wants an Aqua Blue :chevy: Camaro RS/LT with Dual White Stripes in his garage! So, what will be in yours!!

You want the same exact Camaro I want color/stripe wise. I hope that price is on the high side as well. I really don't want to pay more than 35k for a well equipped SS/RS. Pricing is only 3 months away, alomst there.

Good info, thanks.

I think this is in line. The G8 is a guideline for pricing, although the different exchange rates between Canada and Australia add confusion into the process. G8 GT runs around $33000 with two packages, and G8 GXP LS3 will run "just under $40K".

Of course, a new Corvette Coupe 2LT can be had for $43K with employee pricing. Gets a little close. I'll take one of each, please. :thumbsup:

Personally, I think the Aqua Blue / White strip package w/ Light grey interior is the best next to the Inferno Orange with Cyber Grey stripes, however, my dealership where I buy my cars from just got an Aqua Blue HHR last week and it looks fantastic :thumbup: I'm just hoping it suits the body style of the Camaro otherwise, I will have to change to the Imperial Blue with white stripes instead. I would buy the Inferno Orange, however, the Imperial Blue I figure will attract less attention from the fuzz as you stupidly drive by too fast.:bow:

The prices for the LT and SS sure seem awful high to me based on what I've been hearing. I would expect the base cost of the LT to be close to the base of the Mustang V6 Pony Package and the base cost of the SS to be about the same as the base for the GT Premium package.

I really want a fully loaded SS/RS but I can only afford $32k-$33k and if the cost goes too much over that I may end up getting a LT/RS.

That is one of the reasons I'm looking at the RS/LT since it fits my budget, however, if the price estimates are a bit high say by $2000 and the RS/SS comes into range, guess what I'll be buying instead!

I honestly think that is high. I would say RS/LT will run 28,000 - 30,000. I wouldn't think over 30. You can get a tricked out mustang gt with glass roof for 31,000.

To quote an example I know first hand of inregards to the 2008 Impala SS. A fully loaded SS in Canada runs about $39,500 whereas the same Impala SS sold in the US stickers in at about $31 - 32G's Simply a pricing issue between Canadian and US funds from the exchange rate I guess. I just can't see a RS/SS going for the same as an Impala SS if you know what I mean.

45,000 for a SS/RS..... Im really thinking that is way to high. That wouldnt be competitive at all.

Shelby GT 500 starts at 43,000. No way Camaro SS/RS is going to be that expensive.

I prefer Jetstream Blue, available on the Vette. Not an option on the Camaro.

But someone posted a pic of an Aqua Blue HHR, and it looked pretty darn good to me too.

The $45 US is for a fully loaded Rs/SS with ALL available options including Gound Effects, Sunroof, Spoiler, Jewel Red Tintcoat paint, Leather, Special exaust, Upgraded Sound System, 21" Chrome Wheels and Tires plus Striping options and many more available options sure to come our way by the time Final pricing is announced in January '09. Please keep in mind that these are only estimates from what the workers have heard and not GM head office Brass. Also, I'm not sure what a Mustang Shelby GT500 KR costs in the USA, but here in Canada I think it's about $50 - 65G's

Nothing left to hide if this is true.
 

If this is true, then all we need to see is the last three colors. Give some insight. This is infor from a couple diff threads. Just putting every thing in the same spot to see all at once.

Just seems like from what we have been hearing those prices are on the highside.... I really really hope your wrong:D. I just cant see a base SS going for 33,000. Obviously we are all guessing so I guess we will just have to wait until January to know for sure! :chevy:

I refuse to accept that the SS costs over $30k. If it does, I will drop something in my pants that allows me to build a building. [If the previous euphemism isn't acceptable, mods can feel free to edit it to say, "If it does, I will be very unhappy."]

I think that will be fine... Smart butt

you know what i'd rather say instead of butt.

I agree..... but im not dropping anything into my pants

$40,000 for a loaded SS means I'll look elsewhere, thanks.

Hey, you never know since original estimates in the US were about $29 for a base SS if I'm not mistaken ... got to figure the Rs package alone will be $1500 - 2000 so $31 - 33? could be close, but wasn't that back in June '08. I'm just trying to figure that $35,000 US should buy a very nice RS/SS in my book! I'm certainly not going for all the options, ... just the looks!

Okay but you should PROBABLY wait and see exactly what the term "LOADED" is referring to and also wait for REAL prices not the estimates whether they are close or not....

Hi, Your price estimates I would say are close ( $28 - 30 US ) Please keep in mind that the $30,000 starting estimate is Canadian Funds .. US is $27,000

$37,000 for a fully loaded V6 is absolutely ridiculous.

Per the pricing above it is listed as 33 for a base SS

If those prices come out to be accurate, i will be looking for another car, and even though i hate mustangs, i will just buy one out of spite now.



ok maybe not, but it would make me that mad.

now that i think more about this, there is no way in hell those prices are right, or even close.

Base LS 23k,( still too high IMO though) but fine whatever, but for a base LT being $4,000 more when it only adds Fog lights, DIC, and a power driver seat.

GM isn't that stupid.

I cant wait until january so we can stop guessing on prices...:D

Yes, with the $33,000 estimate on the SS in the USA Add about $1500 for the RS package since the SS already gives you the rear spoiler and 20" wheels and tires ( those two are apart of the RS package for the LT so expect $2500 if ordering the LT instead of the SS ) In other words, for the $35,000 US you get the following:

Base SS with V8 and 6-speed Manual Trans .. all standard freatures incl. A/C .. RS package and equipment .. Strip package dual hood or single and the widest smile you've ever had! To add sun, that will cost you approx $700 - 900 more.

Threads merged. :thumbsup:

"rumors" is the key word, people...Don't hang him.

fwiw, "rumor" is what I think it is, purely.

Ahhhhhhhh you never let us have any fun.... :D

33k for a base ss.....

I will get a used 2006-2007 garage queen vette for that..

32k ss/rs with ttl included or i will go elsewhere

Well guys Scott did say the SS would not be $40K. He never said it would be $33k. Plus he has not said any thing about oppion prices.

Thank God this isn't the Wild West as I think by now I would be taken out back and shot for delivering such bad news. :suicide: :paddle: Please keep in mind that these are only Estimates! based on the rumours that I was told by employees that work there. What you do with the info is strickly up to you and you alone, but when a Saturn Sky costs $40,000 Canadian how can a Lord of Racing Camaro SS be any less?

Yeah, these next three months are going to suck having to wait for the prices to be released.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as a lot of people on here are. All I want is a Camaro LT/RS w black leather interior I don't need anything else.

I'm not planning on buying one until the end of summer 09, so if after my dad's employee discount, and whatever rebates (if there are any rebates) hopefully there should be after the Camaro has been out for 5-6 months... (maybe not) if it costs anywhere north of 27k then I too will be looking for another car. :(

Just looked at the US pricing for the Ford Mustang GT and compared it to what we pay in Canada and to quote the Great and Wise Jar Jar Binks! " We be getting screwed up here!":fighting0072::fighting0056:
If you find that the US pricing for the Camaro SS matches the US price of the Mustang GT ( $28, 000 ) Would someone please buy me one!

I didn't see the $45K US earlier. I hope they don't overlap Corvette pricing. Time will tell...

Lol what a joke Im so tired of these threads you dont know anything and neither does random workers from the plant. I mean come on 45k for a loaded ss soooooo the verts over 50k dont think so. GM is gonna compete w compitions prices plain and simple and if not then they are truely done and Ill take my business elsewhere.:sm0:

I understand this is a rumor, so what I mean is, if it is true that an SS with options hits $40K, I'll look elsewhere. I know Scott said the SS wouldn't be $40K, but that's just base price. GM could try to market the SS as a bargain to the SRT8 and GT500 as opposed to being the RT and GT killer.

It is sad how much higher the prices are for Canadians, given our currencies are at near parity. That just aint right.

I think you guys are mixing up the canada and US pricing.

Saturn sky's aren't being produced 80-100k per year. The more you make the cheaper it becomes to produce.

I agree, it should be no-where near that much..

To go from a Pontiac G8 with V6 to a G8 with a V8 is a $2500 price increase. A $6000 jump for the Camaro V6 to V8 seems like too much. I still expect to see a base SS at $29,000 to 29,900. It good marketing sense to keep that advertising price under $30,000

(everything is in U.S dollars)
