New Camaro On the Horizon...need help! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all,
It seems that I will be getting a Camaro earlier than expected. I got a little note in the mail indicating GM has decided to changed their employee pricing.

And I don't think the Camaro will fare too well in the new "formula". So, I would like to seal the deal by the end of they year, which means I will need to take from dealer's stock. So with that being said...

First, I'm a big fan of Cyber Grey Metallic but is there anybody that has ordered a CGM with Arctic White Stripes? If so, could you post some pictures? I've seen a few CGM with Black Stripes on the road but none with white. I will say, though, after checking out some of the pics of delivered Camaros, I'm really starting to fall for the Inferno Orange and the Victory Red (which would match the Brickyard!)
Last, are there any dealer installed exhaust systems that you are extremely happy with?

I live in the Detroit metro area, but am thinking of treking all the way out to Berger to receive delivery...unless somebody can report of a dealership in the metro area that really has kick a$$ customer service when it comes to Camaros.

theyre gonna offer employee pricing on the Camaro?? What would be the mark down?

Employee pricing will be available to employees and family members, as usual, but the formula they use to calculate the price will change on 1/5/10.

They offered employee pricing from day one on the Camaro. It's up to the dealer whether or not to accept it. I don't shop dealers who will not accept it.

My dealer accepted the GM employee price... In IL at Phillips Chevy in Frankfort. They have a half a dozen 1SS and 2SS in stock. They also have a new ABM 1SS that is awesome looking.

All car manufacturers reprice their products every year due to escalation of material costs.
Lets say you make car radio's and have a multi year agreement. Do you want to make them for the same price each year while your employee's want some type of raise each year? Nope. Year over year price increases are usually included in LTA's (long Term Agreements) unless there are a significant number of suppliers like tires or brakes who want in.

KACCamaro · 11-28-2009, 10:32 AM

So now I got all the options picked out that I am looking for...
- 2SS/RS
- Interior Accent Trim Package
- LS3/6-Speed Manual
- Sunroof
- Rally Stripes

Hopefully I can find one that has all of those options! My color preference would be in this order: CGM, Victory Red then IOM. Oh man, haven't been this excited in 8 years...that is, when the Brickyard was coming to be!

Now that I got that figured out...on to Christmas Lights!

The Brickyard? The only Brickyard I know of is the Nascar race at the Brickyard, but that started 15 years ago.
