Finally got my camaro! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

After going through several dealerships over 6 months I finally received my Camaro!

If anyone is close to buying or stuck at 1100 at some slow dealership, I highly recommend going to Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore NY. Specifically speak to Joe Ott, he even shipped my camaro to my door!

I was stuck at 1100 for close to 2 months with Paramus Chevrolet, when they told me they had open allocation when i first ordered. Had dealt with Nutley and Clifton before this, they were charging 10% over MSRP.

Anyway I got ahold of Joe Ott at Paddock Chevrolet and he was so helpful and always quick to reply to my nagging phone calls. He went to another dealer near by and got my car and shipped it to my door within 3 weeks from speaking. (I would've had it even sooner, but FedEX messed up delivering the paper work to me, so it took another week)

My previous car, 1998 Saturn, died on me 2 weeks ago. I'm really glad i cancelled my order at Paramus and went with Paddock! Or i'd still be in that rental car for who knows how long.

Sorry for the long rambling without pics, i'll get some day time ones up soon when its not so crappy out!

Nice. If it wasn't for the 20" wheels I would have gotten the RS package.

I like the headlights.
