zq8colorado04 07-08-2007, 02:47 PM It's been a year and a half since the first concept came out, the movie has already debuted and we've had official confirmation for a while now so how much money do you have squirreled away for the new Camaro?
I started saving as soon as I saw the leaked images of the clay model, right now I've put away slightly over $7000 towards the new car, and I'll be selling my Colorado when it debuts(my brother is supposedly gonna buy it off of me).
So $7000 in savings...I'll be adding to this
$10,000 from the sale of my truck
$1000 in GM card points
I'd say that I'll have a pretty hefty down payment on a top of the line "Top Dog" Camaro
Where's everyone else stand?
E-Dub 07-08-2007, 02:53 PM I Just Sold My Z28 LT1 97 Camaro For 9 K And I'm Also Thinking About Selling My LS1 Z28 Camaro 98 Now That's It's Giving Me Problems....If I Do Sell It I'll Probably Sell It For 8-10 K And I Work So I'll Probably Be Well Over 25 K When It Comes Out.....I'll Maybe Even Buy It Cash Who Knows.....Should I Buy It Cash Or Just Make A Big Down Payment
Capn Pete 07-08-2007, 02:56 PM Well, I've got about ~$1500 (points) on my GM Visa ;). But I'm still thousands in the hole :rolleyes:. Guess it'll stay that way for a long, long(er) time!! :D :lol:
POWERFREAK 07-08-2007, 03:36 PM Since you asked...I sold my '79 malibu (6-71 blown BB) last year and invested the money...currently have over $17K + $1200 in GM points. I'd like to only have to finance about $10K.
toegead93 07-08-2007, 04:07 PM I was planning on using the $1000 from the GM card and a small down payment then finance the rest for the top dog (if I'm really lucky GM will have 0% financing :) ...but I'm not counting on it).
Z28Ecrazy 07-08-2007, 04:13 PM i think i got like $15,000+ i got to go recount it. anyone got any ideas on what the cost of the "top dog" camaro will be?

I'm thinking it'll be about the same cost as the top dog GT500, right at $40,000 if you can find it without a markup...but that's just me guessing
1FstFormulaV8 07-09-2007, 06:19 PM I have $5k. The Formula, if needed.
Eddie Z-28 07-09-2007, 07:02 PM If I want to drive my current daily driver for another year I would probably have $15k cash to put down, plus my trade....Honestly, after seeing the Transformers movie, I'm thinking about doing this.

40k? Weren't '02 SS camaro's going for about 28k? I'd imagine the 09 would only cost a little more.
On other note does anyone know if the Z28 is going to be known as the "top dog" or would it be SS?
stars1010 07-10-2007, 01:47 PM I'm going to start saving in the Spring of 2008. That way I'll have a little over a year's worth of cash when I go order my vert.
Schismblade 07-10-2007, 01:52 PM $0
Probably going the C6 route to be honest.
Silverado C-10 07-10-2007, 03:30 PM Not saving, but I also don't have a vehicle payment either. Between my girl and I we have a 67 C-10 (195K), 00 Silverado(103K), 99 corolla(97K), and '05 Tacoma (5K, yes only 5K.) ALL paid for :D There WILL be a Camaro in my driveway in '09. When my girl starts her career as a vet next year (I'm an engineer) money shouldn't be a problem :D Guess I need to marry her soon :lol:
guionM 07-10-2007, 03:54 PM None. I view the Camaro as a car, not the 2nd comming.
I'm also aware of quite a few other intresting cars in the pipeline that have the potential of ending up with my name on the title. :)
GMRULZ 07-10-2007, 09:03 PM $ 25,200 and counting...:)

Such as?
LT4ultraZ 07-11-2007, 12:26 AM $7000 but i have a long wait for a Z/28.
GRNcamaro 07-11-2007, 08:28 AM non but i might steal some money from my corvette, im going to wait and see what they come out with i might buy a v6 if its 300 hp or real close i dont need a 425 hp car.
FS3800 07-11-2007, 08:39 AM none.. sadly my budget is just too tight... though i'm tempted to sell my car to get a gas sipper....
i probably won't be able to buy the new car till 2012 lol
:(
JIM683 07-11-2007, 08:50 AM $2600 so far. Paid off the wife's van in February and been saving the payment each month. Should have over $10k by the time the Camaro is available. plus, I will be selling my 97 Formula convertible around that time which will help a lot.
detroitboy 07-11-2007, 10:26 PM $22,000 and climbing.....will definately be able to pay for some type of top dog convertible with cash by the time they finally come out.
Sunsceamer 07-13-2007, 08:36 AM I have 6000 and will sell my 85 elcamino when the new one comes out. I should get around $5000 for it or so. Also thinking about getting a 2nd job that pays cash. I am wanting a Z28 because I like the idea of them but as long as I get a v8 6 speed I will be happy. I have never had a brand new car and Always wanted a 60's but Even with the re bodied or 4th gen floorpan car you still need 40 to 50 grand if you do alot of work on it your self plus a place to do it. So I think this will be a great daily for alot of years and close to what I want.
ws6transam 07-13-2007, 08:42 AM About $11K is in the bank.
SoSmoked 07-13-2007, 04:25 PM I'm going to wait until 2010 just to see if there are any special editions, saleen, lingenfelter, etc. I want at least a supercharged convt. I have a 00 SS convt I will probably sell or trade in at dealer. If I get 10k for it I'll have about 25-27k for down payment. I can't wait to smokin some rustangs and challengers.
