Cancelled my order, and 23 days later, I have one! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ArcticCamaro · 09-08-2009, 09:58 AM

Got ticked off waiting forever, and getting the run around. I ordered in February. In July, the dealer would tell me one week that my order was the next to be built, and a week later tell me I was 3rd on their list to be built. Finally cancelled the order and got my deposit back on Aug 12. Had been watching other dealers, and found a Calgary dealer with the exact same color/car that I had ordered. On the same day, Aug 12, I signed the contract to take that car, and it was actually built on Aug 12 as well (I should have bought a lottery ticket that day as well

). It then sat in Oshawa for 2 weeks, waiting for a ride. Got it Friday....

I'll post some pics after the bumblebee stripes from Mopro go on tomorrow.

BTW, Rally Yellow is a hard color to find. If I had wanted black, silver, orange, or red, there are lots available if you just do some searching... If you are close to Calgary, there is an Orange, with the orange/black interior, at GSL Chevrolet in Calgary. RS/2SS I believe.

See.... good things do come to those who do not wait.

I waited from 2006 the first day I saw the Camaro Concept til June 30th 2009 the day Preston delivered my Maro. Now that's what I would call a long wait!. LOL

And the squeeky wheel gets the grease, too!

I guess the longer you wait the more money you can save for a bigger down payment or some aftermarket upgrades, to look on the bright side.

CamChick · 09-08-2009, 06:04 PM

Congrats!

have fun driving it!

vdevine · 09-08-2009, 06:22 PM

TJ91 · 09-08-2009, 11:32 PM

ArcticCamaro · 09-09-2009, 09:50 AM

I just picked up the one from GSL yesterday, it was in the showroom Orange with orange and black interior, it had stripes but I just took them in the box.

I got tired of waitng for my Yellow one, and I have a lot of work to do over the winter, as it is an R-D car for the shop, so away we go.

GSL has another orange one coming and a Red tint jewel(auto).

We will post complete mods, one at a time, with dyno results, over the next several weeks, we have supercharged 7 SS cars as of this date and have 2 in the shop for stroker/blower motors over the winter, so should be fun.
