Trading in 2015 2LS for 2015 SS

[thunderkyss]

Check out the performance data from the 1969 line of SS Camaros. A 14 second car is a fast car. Always has been. It's just that there are faster cars out there.

I dunno if prices have dropped but it looks like it to me. I would shop around a little more and take your time until you find the right car with the right stuff for a good price. They are out there. Mine was new as well

Congrats on your car.

No doubt you're happy, I prefer an auto transmission for me. And if exhaust isn't satisfying stock ill change it. Some of our guys here get good deals in other states. For us we have pretty bad listings at least. Not sure about negotiated price yet. I don't do any modding though, just some phone mounts and aux cables.

Maybe red vinyl tape mark on steering wheel too.

But.... it's too late for you. You're already wondering. You won't be happy until you get a V8. Even if you found a way to get 1000 rwhp out of your car, you'll still be wanting that V8.

I agree, I'm trying to convince my mind to enjoy the v6 but keep wandering off into v8 heaven. It looks and will perform more fiercely. Not to mention the respect you get on streets, V8 chargers will no longer try bullying me.

Raging Hawk If you are even considering a V8 just get it and save yourself some heartache down the road. You will be satisfied and save yourself from the agony of saying to yourself daily MAN I SHOULD HAVE GOT THE V8

I just went through this for 8 months and I ended up losing some money on my V6. If you can afford it I would just do it. I spent so much money trying to make my V6 look awesome and get it sounding like a muscle car and I still was not happy.

I have not spent but $10 on my V8 because well it just came from the factory awesome. Even got rid of my throttle controller because well it's got plenty of response.

V6 is a nice car don't get me wrong but if you got that V8 in your mind it will always be there after you get the V6 heck just noticed you have a V6


oh the respect you get is just awesome Ive swung both ways

Apparently one ss model I was looking at is no longer available after contacting dealer. Or they just don't want to do a trade in. I can't get the color I want(orders are no longer available apparently, also nobody is offering discounted prices. They're selling over msrp for some trims. Discounted ones are 2SS models which come around 39k discounted. Dealers in Michigan are unlike other dealers around the country who have much better offers. I may have to stick with V6.

I shouldve known better in beginning, I initially didn't know much about the camaro and would have gone with an SS model from the beginning and would be better off than trading in with less value and absolutely no discounts. This car must have a lot of demand they won't bring prices down.

[thunderkyss]

I don't know of many dealers who would offer discounts over the phone... not unless you already have a good relationship with them.

[RagingHawk]

Alright makes sense, I do have a great relationship with one dealer. All our vehicles come from there, problem is their inventory doesn't have what I want. I'm not worried about discounting price, once I am ready to purchase I will negotiate as much as possible. I'm worried about my trade in value, the dealers that have best deals/trims are all at least half hour away from me.

They all want me to drive in to get trade in appraisal.

[RagingHawk]

Have a question, instead of driving up to dealers to get trade in appraisal, can I email them the vin number? And if that is possible, where do I find the vin number on the car?

You can ballpark trade in value using NADA, but ultimately the dealer will want to see and drive the vehicle before giving you an actual final trade figure.

VIN is in the front window on almost every car that there is. Also, it can be found on many of the stickers affixed to the car chassis... but if all else fails, it is on your TITLE as well as on your INSURANCE papers. Just look at your title for the car.

Thanks for info. Okay so there are 3 dealers having trims I want. Two of them have the white 1ss's with rs package listed around 38k msrp, no sales price at least online. And then one dealer offering a 2ss with rs package with sales price at 36k. Which should I go to? One of the dealers with a 1ss says they have highest trade in value. But I don't know how flexible they will be on sales. If they will only give 1,500 cash allowance I can get 2ss for that price.

I am kind of leaning towards 2ss because it has better audio system. I listen to lots of music. Do you recommend I go see what trade in value I can at the dealer with 2ss?

[stoopid]

Not sure why anyone would choose the 1SS over the 2SS... especially for more money.

Just got a good deal for a new 2015 1ss/rs. The price with taxes was about $30k

I did my entire deal for my camaro over email. they even dealed me on my trade via pics. pending it looked like it did in the pics.

on a side note OP i would say 18-20k as a trade in they are selling for 20-23 new. even though you only have 1k miles its still used.

If those dealers don't give same sale price difference as the one with 2ss model then I'm not paying them a visit. If they bring down the 1'ss's to 31-32K with decent trade in value I would consider. If they don't and the lowest they'll go is 34-35 then it would be stupid for me to not go for 2ss.
