do you think its worth to eat up that $1k I put down at Mallon's? Because the trade-in would depreciate even more, thus getting less money....

just looking for feedback

Why don't you search the spasticsquirrel site and find one already built and in your color so you can get it tomorrow?

Did you guys see the post from Bmbl-B? Its on about a cruise to Old Orchard Beach on 9/27. He's looking for 40 camaros, you guys in?

Guys, don't know if you are interested in this. This guy is right here in CT.

Swift Hide-a-plate sale

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Dan from Swift. We have recently launched our new website, with many new products every day. Because of this, we are having a sale on the hide-a plates that so many of you already have on your cars. I am expecting a new shipment of these in the store early next week, and everything will ship out then. Any orders placed on the new site between now and then will be eligible for a 10.00 off coupon, just enter Camaro2010 in the coupon block during check-out. This is for the http://www.shop.swiftperformanceauto...tyling_c19.htm
site. It's a new site, if you see any issues, just let me know. We are still adding products daily, it just takes a lot of work, and we are busy running a shop too. Thank-you,
Dan

yeah but... when you get it at a dealer, they are always way over priced.

thats why I ordered it, cuz its saving me a few grand.

Dan55 · 09-01-2009, 10:16 PM

plus no one in the state has the car I want

a 2LT black iom interior, iom stripes.

ssjoe · 09-01-2009, 10:19 PM

Oh sorry to hear that. Maybe try Oneills, Dre and I had good luck with them, they won't steer you the wrong way. Speak to Jim Wood or Scott Anderson tell them I sent you over. Wouldn't hurt to ask

Dan55 · 09-01-2009, 10:22 PM

ok. will do...

but Joe do you think it'd be smart for me to do this? I trust your opinion, because you know your stuff

Man, I don't know about you but 1,000 is a lot of money! Maybe just wait the time for the color change. Won't they do the trade now!? Do you have another car to drive in the mean time? I would not lose the 1K. What are you trading?

ssjoe · 09-01-2009, 11:01 PM

man my computer is slow. You probaly are posting right back but I'm not seeing it for 15 mins.

ssjoe · 09-01-2009, 11:03 PM

Dan55. I ordered my car July 14th and picked it up on August 25! 6 weeks!!!!!!

Dan55 · 09-02-2009, 12:45 AM

As far as I know, you can make changes to your order before it reaches 3000 without it affecting your order time. You may want to check with camaroscotty or viz in the tracking section to confirm that. Did the dealer you ordered from tell you they had an open allocation when you ordered with them? If they did, and you still are stuck at 1100, meaning they actually did not have an allocation for your car you should be able to get your money back. If not from the dealer, hopefully you put the deposit on a credit card and can get it back from your credit card company.

Not sure what you ordered either, but if your read some of the posts in the general section, the number of ss's is being limited so that may make you consider joe's advice of finding one around. O'Neill's has one on the lot for sale at MSRP. It's a 2SS, CGM, 6 spd with a sunroof.

ssjoe · 09-02-2009, 09:43 AM

Dan55,

Dre (Chris) has a good point. I forgot about changing your order. You can change it up to 3000 because I was going to do that myself and my dealership said I could change up to 3000 without any affect on time. Also the one at Oneills is a 1SS Cyber gray 6spd.

Really? I thought I saw leather in there. You may be right though. I can check when I go pick up my car, which hopefully will be this afternoon.
