Here's some numbers for you big shots who haven't secured financing:
All with 6% rates -
$35k - 60 mnths - $693
$35k - 72 mnths - $596
$34k - 60 mnths - $673
$34k - 72 mnths - $579

So good to know that with the credit freeze that all the $$ buyers have a 720 score or better and have a low debt to income ratio that will get you approved. All of a sudden that V6 doesn't look so bad does it????

Yep, I am going to be ordering a 1SS but I want to save up a bit more in the down payment department just so I don't have to have huge monthly payments. However, I think this is an issue that people will be seeing a lot of once the cars start showing up on lots as I get the feeling a lot of people were ordering first then thinking about the financial implications and requirements later.

No, you're wrong. I informed my wife over 3 months ago to start looking for a second job.

skyman08 - I guess you must have missed all the posted he made about the V6 constraints then. What he said left nothing ambiguous about them. He said dealers only constraint was on STOCK CARS. they could not order any of them. those are cars they want just to have on their lots. Many dealers evidently think that the constraint is on ALL V6 orders and not just the STOCK cars. and that is where the problem is. the dealers are reading the constraints just as you are and evidently that is not what it is supposed to be.


This seems to be correct. My dealer contacted me and said the same thing that 2LT's were on the constraint list, which included my car. So it appears we arent the only ones that are confused about the verbage.

You forgot the end part of what you said...."even if it means hittin' the streets in a gogo skirt." So cruel.

Seriously though, DeathChill, there have been numerous threads here in the past couple of months dealing with downpayment amount, finance rates and monthly payments, so no one should be caught off guard.

I will quote Fbodfather here

Skyman - I have to go with Rodrunner on this one. Believe me, I hope that your interpretation is correct since I have a 2LT on order. But I have read Fbodfather's post 30 times forward, backwards, sidewards - and I still don't see in there where he states that the only constraint is on STOCK CARS. Yes, the example he provided was for stock cars. But nowhere did this post say that if the dealer's next pre-sold car was a V6 that it would not be affected by the constraint. Nor did it say that either of the first 2 cars ordered in his example were V6's. Obviously, if there are still questions here from our forum members and, apparently, from dealers, then this post was not as clear as you think it is.

so if the constraint was issued on 2/19(?) and says for a period of 4 weeks (production starts 3/16).... I don't see the need for panic... But thats just me.

I have been waiting 27 years. i waited since 2002. i waited since first seeing the concept in 2006. I can wait some more. good things come to those who wait. And the camaro is something really good!

TGIF, Scotty. Granted that does leave hope for a later April pre-order V6 build. I certainly understand getting a car to each dealer, but I can't help but wonder if GM would not have actually rather put V8's in the showrooms, if not for all the pre-order SSs. If the car is just to attract, amaze and astound, what better than an SS? I suppose this way is the far lesser evil, and at least us SS buyers should be thankful. Have a great Friday!

Now IMO that's more a bean counter thing. What's 5k x "X" cars. A lot of scoots. Not that the dealer should mind getting an "extra" car but how can Chevy force them to pay for something they may not want and certainly can't order to their specs?

There was discussion here if we really want to have it sitting here - after all, we do have plenty of orders in, and it's not really going to benefit us getting any more orders.

As soon as I find out what we have, I'll be unloading it to some lucky person

In the long run It really dosn't matter what we believe.. we will all get our cars when we get our cars and there isn't one dang thing any of us can do about it.
I take ALL of Fbodfathers posts about the V6's in context and although he does not come out and say it, he has done everything to discourage the notion that they are not going to be building the V6 Sold order cars along with the dealer cars. Those that want to interpret what he says differently are reading things into his statements that are not there. I read what he says, not what he does not say...


All you others Have you even seen the post where fbodfather replied to me when I said the exact same things you are about the constraints on the V6 because of the dealer cars?
He replied I was jumping to conclusions.. since then, I have believed and I still believe that I was wrong on the Sold Orders V6 cars.. so now Unless HE comes back and says I am wrong now I will hold my stance...

I realize you want to get cars into the dealer's hands ASAP. but then shouldn't you also hold the SS cars back until you are done with the dealer cars? that is if that is the reasoning behind not building V6 cars?
It's making us V6ers feel like we are not as important to you as the SS guys.
At least give us a clue to how long it will take before the sold order V6 cars will start production. And then will you build more V6's cars than SS cars so we can "Catch Up"

[pinkcamaro10]

Alright people, my dealer emailed me back. I asked if he was absolutely sure that he would be able to place an order for a V6, and this is what he said.

"I know that we CAN place a Camaro order on that day(march 5th). It does not differentiate between a v6 or a v8 order. Since yours was first, the v6 is what we are going to order or attempt to order."

So everyone please cross your fingers for me!
