Impulse Buying?

How many current owners ordered their camaro and how many bought one off the dealers stock? I went from dealership to dealership just trying to see one, and then bought one from the dealership in my small home town, the wife says it was impulse buying, i say it was instinct.......

I ordered mine, with virtually no vision of what the final product would look like. It was worse than buying a house from a floor plan.

I have NO regrets, love my car, wouldn't trade it for the world, not to say if opportunity knocks, I wouldn't ADD to it

Same here..never seen the color. Winged it and it only got better.

Mine was a total impulse buy. I took my wifes 09 Tahoe in for its first oil change on a Friday morning when I saw a new SIM 2ss sitting there. I had it home by that Monday. A guy apparently ordered his in but his deposit check bounced. They had just put the camaro out for show right before I arrived. I was the first to look at it and drive it. Lucky me!!

I had a salesman call me when it showed up on the truck, when i got there i asked to see it and the salesman went and got the keys to open it up they never left my hands, i was kind of hesitant about getting the auto, but after driving it

I ordered mine sight unseen, drive unseen, nothing to go by except pictures on the internet. Waited 3 months to get it and I'm just thrilled with it; love the color, the interior, the way it drives....love this car!!!

total impulse. Went with the wife to look at one and ended up buying it that day (someone ordered a loaded, w/gfx and sunroof, IBM 2SSRS 6M and backed out).
