25k is a bit ouchies. Incentives and rebates probably beat that for new 2013

But its cool. The trade in I got for the Hummer was worth it in and of itself. I could have probably gotten 16K to 17K tops for that Hummer, so trading it in at 15 was worth it for me.

Yes that dealer and the salesguy were pretty over the top bad, I found out after I got home, that the supposed oil change I got, did not happen, total lie on that I know.

But its no biggie. I am happy with the deal in any event. I really wanted black and a low mileage 1LT or 2LT, so getting the 1LT is fine. I really liked the spoiler too, so that's another reason.

Now looking back, other than the leather seats, I think I would rather have the 1LT because I would rather have the extra storage space where the 4 gauges go. So its all good. ALthough obviously would NOT recommend that dealer to anyone, since they are obvious liers.

And yes it is in top notch condition, not a scratch on it.

Thanks again for all the advice and help!

You are also more than welcome to send me your VIN or just a private message in general if you have any other lingering concerns.

Hi everyone. Just got a 2012 2LT Camaro, well its new to me. It only had 3800 miles on it, so it was practically new. I will try to post a picture of it, but I had several questions about it. The dealer I bought it from was a Kia dealership and the salesman was clueless about it for the most part. All I know is that it is a 2LT NOT the RS package, but I am not sure which package it is.

First off, I think I got a heck of a deal, but tell me your opinions. I got it for $25K. They gave me $15K as a trade in for my 2009 H3 Hummer, with 80K miles so all in all I felt like I got a great deal, I have seen much higher mileage ones going for $28K all the way up to the lower 30s. But would like your opinion on this.

Also, what package exactly do I have, or put another way, what else was available that I do not have as far as trim packages go? I will tell you what I do have on it.

1) Leather steering wheel; 2) Aluminum wheels; 3) Rear camera that appears in rear view mirror; 4) XM Satellite radio. Those are the major obvious features.

I do NOT have leather seats, nor do I have the extra 4 gauges that would be in the change dish area.

Also one last important thing, it had an extra large wing/spoiler on the back. Does anyone know about this? Did the previous owner have to special order this with it? I have not seen a single camaro in my town with this spoiler on it. Thanks in advance.

Just wondering how you know whether it a good deal if you don't know what the package was. Just guessing, personal opinion, your buddy told you?

13 2LT RS. Heated leather seat and all that other stuff you mentioned for only a few thousand more. Sounds like you got ripped off, but that's a different market.

Congrats & welcome, you have a great car and a great engine in the LFX!

Magilla gorilla · 09-04-2013, 07:31 PM

You have a 1LT, 2LT will have leather seats and 4pack gauges...

grats on the car and welcome.

kevinw · 09-04-2013, 09:34 PM

i say if he loves the car, the deal is done, enjoy it! i am looking at a new 13 2LT and yes, gauges, BA sound system, gauges and leather with HUD is the standard on 2 LT. but this car he bought only has 3800 miles on it, which is good. what is bad is why did prev. owner sell it after 3800 miles? if the car checked out, then enjoy the car. gauges and upgraded stereo you can add if you want it. leather too, if you want to spend the bucks

TheAviator · 09-07-2013, 09:52 PM

I was just checking out the new 2014s and my package would go for at least 30 if not 31, found my exact car without the spoiler for 30. So getting a 3800 mile car for 25, which is 5 or 6k less seems like an ok deal. The best part of the deal was the amount I got for the trade in which I would have been happy to have sold it retail for what I got so I'm fine.

I have decided that this is the only car I'll ever own from now on, at least for an every day type car. Im gonna trade this one in at about 75k and get the exact same thing except I'll try and get the solid black leather seats,

Oh and I have the 19" wheels

I am looking to buy a 2012 2LT with the RS package and was wondering if $28,000 sounds like a reasonable price....15,000 miles in mint condition...also do all 2LT's come with auto start or is that an extra

2LTs with automatic transmission come with auto start.

And I think $28000 is too much. I got mine, which is a non RS, for a bit less than $23,000.

TheAviator · 09-09-2013, 08:54 AM

Actually the 1 LTs also have the auto start, although unless you live in Alaska, I don't see much point in that feature. Really IMO the best part of the upgrade from 1LT to the 2LT is really just the nicer leather seats, which is the only thing I wish I had I didn't get with my 1LT. I could care less about that 4 gauge cluster, I think I would rather have the space there, and the Heads Up Display HUD, I can take or leave that as well. So point is you may want to consider the 1LTs too, unless you really want the leather seats. The 1LT also come with the back up camera which I do LOVE that. Only thing is you may check the wheels, the 19'' wheels are better than the standard ones. I for some reason got the nicer wheel package with my 1LT but I think standard on the 1LT are the 18'' wheels, at least that's what I read.
