Should I buy the Indy 500 or not? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

We gotta keep in mind here this is in Canada. The prices are higher there versus what we have in the states. Its the exchange rate.

I hope you can advise me, I'm getting a offered a deal here in Canada of an Indy 500 for $43,000 + GST (makes it $45150).

Can you tell me if you think that's good? Is it worth it? Or should I buy myself a nice spec'd Camaro instead?

Thanks

Indy is

Prices are higher even without the exchange rates.

Not sure what you mean by spec'd... it's got everything but a Sunroof and GFX. Doesn't sound like a bad deal considering the Canadian prices...

If this is going to be a daily driver, I would say no. Now if you have the money to buy it and drive it on the weekends and store it the rest of the time, go for it.

There is a limited number of those cars out there, and my perspective on it is, GM made those to be collected and shown off at car shows.

I think the pace car look pretty meh, but having a much rarer car would help with resale (assuming you could find a buyer who appreciates it and is willing to pay)

Whatever you do, just don't get a Summit White! - thats my color!

Well, I took everyones answers into consideration and bought a Shelby GT 500 instead ....

Appreciate the help though - thanks!

Not worth the premium to me, You won't get anything back at trade in. It's not an investment.
