Need help making a decision! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My dealer has the Camaro that I want. It's a 2011 1SS and he is willing to sell to me at invoice price. I don't know if I should jump on this deal and get the 2012 1SS instead. I heard that there are quite a few changes with an upgraded suspension. I don't care too much about the other changes but the upgraded suspension is keeping me from making a decision. I wanted to change out the stock springs for the Pfadt springs anyways, but if the 2012 model has a new lower suspension, I can save a few hundred going with the 2012. But then again I don't know if the dealer will give me invoice pricing on a 2012. Also I heard of a few issues with people breaking some drivetrain components with launching their cars. I heard that Chevy is replacing them with new strong components. I'm afraid that I won't have this in a 2011 model.....AHHHH...what to do??

First things first. You need to level the playing field for the cars. I would go to your dealer and tell him that you want in writing a statement saying he will sell you the 2012 at invoice pricing. *Note: Get one of the sales managers to sign as a witness, thereby authenticating the document and making it admissible* If you can get him to agree to invoice then its just instant vs delayed gratification. Do you want the toy now, or wait a few months and get a shinier newer toy?
