Brand new LS with 1500 in accessories can i include guage cluster? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Heres the deal, Im looking at a brand new LS camaro 2010 leftover.It comes with the 1500 accessory package,my question to you is can i pick the guages as part of the 1500? or do i have to stick with other things.anybody? my dealer doesnt know.

herertage grille
black stripe package
aux guage package

Lightningquick, if your dealer doesn't know if he can put the guages in a package, we certainly wouldn't know......HOWEVER, IMHO, he should be able to make a package out of ANY OPTIONAL add on's available...and the 4 pack is available.

oh and btw.....your car has a 6 speed, not a 5 speed. I can only assume that was a typo, as ALL 5 gerns have 6 speeds.

OH AND ANOTHER THING, Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's and wive's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

You mention gauge cluster, which I'm thinking speedometer, and then you mention gauge pack. The speedometer is not an accessory, but the gauge pack is. If you go to www.gmaccessorieszone.com you can pick from any of those accessories listed there.

If you're upside down in a car with a bunch of nightmares, it doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. Just realize you're trade-in for the Camaro isn't going to be too good later on down the road, due to paying a higher price for it.

thanks guys,I plan on waiting til june but the deal is pretty fair so im gonna try now
yes i meant the aux guages.
6 speed my bad
i realize im gonna still be upside down but at least im getting out of the problems,getting a car with a good warranty and best of all its a camaro which i love.wanted a rs 1lt but what i want and what i can afford are two different things

Good luck, and it's good to hear someone being sensible about their decision. Buying what you can afford is the smarter way to go!

You sure this car will still be available for that long?

So why wait until June? Just out of curiosity, don't think you said why. I think it's a pretty good deal, and the longer you wait, the harder it will be to find a great deal on a leftover. Dealers are most likely wanting to get rid of their 2010's before the first quarter is over.

clg_98ta · 01-29-2011, 10:46 AM

$3200 off MSRP + $1500 in accessories sounds like a great deal. I'd jump on it quick...

maybe your not understanding me i am trying to get this car now.I dont have a large down payment yet.That would be why i would HAVE to wait.by june ill have my taxes back, its not RIGHT after christmas ect...
i know some of you have plenty of $$ but i live on a pretty tight budget so i dont want to do the wrong thing.
i AM trying now, ill let you know how it turns out.

1BADLS3 · 01-29-2011, 10:52 AM

I think you need to take the deal and run, not walk...

While the financially 'smart' thing to do is to always keep the car that you have and continue to repair it, there's also something to be said about having a car that you actually like and want to keep, and that you get some enjoyment out of it. The Camaro with a 6-speed will be a hoot to drive.

It sounds like you're getting a good deal. Report back with pics of new ride

Um ok, calm down. Nobody is claiming to have boat loads of money. I only put $1000 on my 2LT, but my scenario is completely different than yours. The only thing you can do at this point is to see what the dealership can do for you, if anything. They can check with several banking options. So good luck on Monday, hope it works out.

A spoiler would be a good choice. They should also definitely be able to add the console gauges.

GMPP exhaust would also be a good choice.
