So I finally test drove a 1LE! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I do have one question though...if I were to find a great deal on a 2013 1LE is there a way to order the Recaro seats? Or do people ever decide to sell them on here?

mbowen89 · 05-25-2015, 10:23 PM

You can order them for like $2k per seat. You get both for $2k when building car though. Also not sure they go into '13 but I'm sure others know that.

Update on the 2015 1LE that I test drove this past weekend...salesman called me yesterday and we started talking numbers. They are unwilling to budge AT ALL off the sticker price! They've had the car since January 7th and I brought that up and it didn't make any difference. I always hear about people getting great deals on these cars through negotiation and they weren't willing to work with me at all! Guess I won't be visiting them for any possible purchase in the future.

You just say you are interested in the car, but not at that price! If it is still there in a few months, they will remember how to get a hold of you.

Better to ask for forgiveness that permission is this case.....

Also...there are some ZL1's for sale in the marketplace section for around 44k......just FYI.

OP, not that long ago all Camaros on the lots over so many months old were all 20% off. We might see that again as people will lose interest in the 5th gens as the CA6 is released. You also will be seeing a fair number of used 1LEs around at good prices. The last generation car always takes a hit. So there will be deals out there. And quite a few of the 1014-15 1LEs will have the Recaros. Keep your eyes open for deals.

Take the "boss" aka the "CFO" out on a cruise. That always softens them up.

They are saying the Stock 2016 SS is faster around the track than a 1LE. I would wait and get a 2016.

I agree with (Bizaro) Drive up to Koons in VA, just 20 min outside DC and you will save 7 thousand, that's what I did.

Yeah they must think I'm an idiot. The whole time I was test driving it the salesman was giving me all his "salesman speech" he possibly could haha I got a good laugh out of telling him more about the car than he could tell me.

He kept telling me the car won't be there another week, much less a couple months lol even though they hadn't been able to sell it for the last four months. I guess because they are unwilling to negotiate price.

Exactly! This is what I was thinking as well. I know there will be a lot of people out there wanting to get out of their 5th Gens and move up to the new 6th Gen. I thought about waiting for a 2016 but I don't want to be a guinea pig for the ALL NEW model. I've already seen some good deals on some 2014's but just wasn't ready to purchase. By August or September I'll be seriously looking to make a purchase.
