Stupid question probably, what are the changes to 2012 LS Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

IAINIDIRIEIWI · 08-02-2011, 06:58 PM

Are they going to have the new fog lights as well? Also, anyone know how much extra horsepower there will be? Will they have the same steel heritage wheels as the '10 and '11 models?

I tried to search for answers but had no lucky, sorry if someone has asked them before.

Also, I plan to trade in my 2011 LS camaro for the new 2012, because I feel like the changes are well worth it. I also would like a different color

Anyone have any idea on how much it would cost? Its an automatic completely base v6 with around 5500 miles, and its in great condition with a very small scratch in the rear bumper, it's hardly noticeable even up close. I've added straight pipes, rally stripe package, quarter panel inserts, and tail light tints from bigwormgraphix. I want to get a 2012 LS Manual when it comes out, and I still have to pay off around 16000 for my current car, paying 275 monthly. If I trade it in at the dealers for around 21500, what am I looking at financially?

I believe all '12 models get the darker taillights from the RS package, but not the HID headlamps.

LoneStar · 08-02-2011, 09:21 PM

No fog lights added, the same heritage wheels, darker taillights (RS style), rear spoiler, lower gears for automatic, new LFX engine good for 323 hp.

Kinda doubt they're gonna give you even close to 21,500

Camaros are bringing in LOTS of money on the auctions when dealers try to buy them used. LTs are bringing in $25K.

Dealers want used cars because theres not alot out there at the moment.

Make sure you get top dollar for yours.

If you can't get close to $20k, dont trade it in.

Even with new 2011's selling for around $23K, the used ones are bringing in pretty close to $21K here. It's crazy. No other car is in the ball park. The other weird thing I have noticed when shopping was the V-6 models are keeping their value more than the SS's. Both are high, but the LS and LT's are damn near at sticker price on the used lots.

I've seen used LS with 20k miles for the same price as my LS was new...it's insane...I'm considering trading it on on a used SS since I can grab one of those in the 29-32k range

Yeah, I got quotes and they all quoted about $20k. That's one of the reasons that I want to trade it in asap before demand goes down, if it does that is. I figure why not spend a little cash to get a newer camaro and get the color that I want this time around haha.
