yeah yeah, i know.. another new camaro thread.. sorry guys..

just wondering... anyone heard anything yet on advanced orders for these things? i've been trying to keep track of it, but i havent actualy heard when they'll start taking orders.. as long as the price aint thru the roof for the options i want, im def. thinking bout getting one when they are released..

Re: 09 camaro

I was at the Chevy Dealer last Friday asking this same question. The manager told me that even though the sticker price may be about 32k for the options I'm looking for, the introductory year of the new camaro will have what's called "ADP" (Additional Dealer Profit). Which basically is the dealer marks up the price because of the demand.:mad: After the vehicle has been out for a little while, the price will go back down to sticker price.

Not just that, even if the camaro DOES go for sticker price, they won't work any deals for lowering the price because the next guy in line will buy it as-is.

Re: 09 camaro

Oh, sorry, but to asnwer your question; Orders aren't being accepted yet. At least...that's what he told me. I'm guessing they will begin taking orders the summer before the car is released. Dunno...

Re: 09 camaro

Orders aren't being taken, however, certain dealers are taking deposits to be placed in their ordering que. (Check Detroit)

I've heard you'll actually be able to order in March '08.

Dealer mark ups > real world value :(

Re: 09 camaro

i'm pretty confident that production will start on 1-1-09 and there will be a production volume of somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,xxx. and every year thereafter they'll be planning on 85-90k. thats just word on the street tho ;)

Re: 09 camaro

sweet... yeah, ive been keeping an eye on this.. id like to get one of the first ones off the lot, but ill be damned if i pay 10-20k more just to have one of the first ones.. id rather wait a few months til the price calms down a bit.. nad if im buyin one, its gonna be exactly as i want it, not just what is available..

so yeah, i was just wondering what everyone had heard.. thanks for the info!

Re: 09 camaro

they've been talking about this over at cz28.com (at least on the podcast). They were saying that some dealers were taking deposits for the car, you just have to find the ones who are. Im sure if you go find one who is you will pay for it. Youre better off waiting a bit longer and getting one at sticker price. I doubt youll find anyone taking orders without the premium.
