Best time to buy a ZL1? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

superbears14 · 01-22-2015, 09:03 PM

Is it a better time to buy a used ZL1 in the winter or the spring? Will deals typically be better in the spring or winter? What about selection? Are more people selling their Camaros in the Spring? Thanks for any info!

Read the OP. He wasn't asking about new ZL1's.

Buy a used ZL1 now. As soon as possible. I see some great deals right now, especially right after the 20% off deal and the fact it is still very much winter. When the weather warms up--and ZL1's are NO LONGER BEING PRODUCED--you will see cars going for more money or at least holding their value for a while.

And if you don't own a ZL1 now, you should get one. You won't regret it one bit.

And you will find the best maintained and lowest mileage cars on Camaro5.

Thank you, Dan. Yes, I see some beautiful ZL1s on here...I am interested in red or AGM. If you see any good deals (close to the northeast), let me know!

Yep found mine on autotrader.com sitting at a dealership in Indiana.

I picked up mine last Saturday. AGM Recaro 6 speed, carbon hood and suede interior. After GM rebates and dealer discount I paid $46,000. Window was $61,750 it's a brand new 2014. Had 3 or 4 miles on it on the small town dealers showroom. I'd say it was the right time to buy lol.

brick59 · 01-23-2015, 10:05 AM

Now is the time.... wait a couple months and not so much the price will go up, dealers are not moving much metal right now so there dealing.

harmonyp · 01-23-2015, 10:08 AM

I've been in love with the ZL1 ever since I took my first test drive in a used 2012 in late 2013. Never got the car out of my mind.

Unfortunately I missed the December blowout, and contemplated waiting in hopes of another. F-it. Just popped up on our local dealerships website - $7000 off MSRP for 2014's. Talk enough, and they'll apply those rebates to a 2015 (or of course, go used, or find a 2014).

Bought yesterday, 2015 Silver Ice Metallic, manual. 2 1/2 hr drive home through horrible commute. WOW! It's heaven. I'm over the MOON!!!!!
