$29,775 is what I was expecting to pay for a 2LT/RS A6, since that package seems to be the equivalent of the impala LTZ, to me anyway.

 

Mentioned this in another thread...

Here's the actual GM Buypower online window sticker from my 2002 SS

http://www.phantomss.com/camaro/wind...ker/index.html

Loaded up, $31,790.00

That doesn't include things that are standard on a 2010 or that didn't even exist then. What folks are not understanding is that value doesn't mean low price and that's it. Value means low price for what you get.

Someone needs to show me where there is a better dollar to value performance vehicle out there.

 

If GM wants to sell a SH*T Load of these then there only hope is the LT!!! But it's not for me, Only a V8 will do. Here in good old Canada where their being built, they will be Half as much again($28000 US = $42000 Cnd) So either way I'm F***ED!!!!

 

My question is......how many of these people bitching were really gonna buy a 5th gen in the first place? I won't be getting one this year simply because I have other priorities. I'm saving to build a house at the moment and will hopefully have our first baby on the way soon.

I will buy one but it will be at least a year from now. I think the prices are good for what you get. You aren't paying $7000 just for the V8. You get alot more than that for your money.

 

it sucks, I want the HUD, but cloth seats

 

SO many dumbasses in here. I have no idea where to start. Just wow. Ford hasn't released the price for the updated Mustang I can't wait til they do so I can bring this thread back and laugh. I mean wtf is wrong with people.

THIS IS MSRP..............Let me type that again.......... MSRP MSRP MSRP MSRP. If any of you have ever paid MSRP your an idiot. That $1500-$2000 everyone is slitting their collective wrists over will probably dissappear. IT is so much more car than the Mustang in just terms of options and standard equipment.

I saw a guy who broke down the payments and is saying how the Camaro was way overpriced because it was $85 more a month. I'm sorry but if your willing to spend $540 on a premium GT but not $625 on a Camaro SS then wtf is wrong with you. Are you pushing your budget that close? Not too smart. Then I saw about how the Camaro is the same a Brand New Corvette which is just absurd. There is a $10K price difference in MSRP alone so obviously he meant a USED vette which has always been the case.

Numerous people have pointed out how the MSRP of the last of the 4th gen was around $30K but not a single idiot has acknowledged that. Where was the bitching then? I remember seeing a 35th anniversary with a sticker of $34K. The 4th gen wasn't half the car the 5th gen will be.

 

I'd say a lot of the people who want the car within the first 6 months on the road are going to be paying MSRP. I don't think we'll see "below sticker" deals as commonplace for a while.

 

The prices are about what I expected: LS a little higher, SS a little lower. Overall not bad.
I will be ordering one as soon as I find a dealer that will give me a good deal, defined as significantly below MSRP, possibly invoice.
I know it may be a few months or a year, but that's OK.

 

Fixed.

Grammar aside, what's wrong with paying MSRP for a brand-new, highly anticipated car? I have big issues with people paying over MSRP (ever), and it's obviously desirable to get something for less than that, but it certainly doesn't make someone an idiot.

So far as I can tell, signs point to you being the idiot.

 

Thank you..beat me to it. MSRP that I've seen, while being about 1000 dollars higher than I'd thought it would be, is about in line with what you get for the money. That's a fair price to me, maybe not to everyone...but you can choose to pay it or not. A different opinion doesn't make one an idiot.

 

If such a thing exists, I'd say it's another GM product. Cobalt SS, Corvette, and G8 GT all make very compelling arguments for affordable performance in their respective markets.

The Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, for a bit less than a ZR1, is also a bit of a performance bargain, although there's a big sacrifice in livability there.

And, of course, I'll open another can of worms and say that the Nissan GT-R offers pretty darn good performance for the money (although warranty issues and sky-high repair bills make this questionable).

 

Thank you Jason

This is what has been going through my mind as I have read page after page of people complaining about the prices. My loaded 1994 stickered at $27900, my loaded 1998 stickered at $29600, my 02 was only 23000 but the only option on it was the Hurst shifter. I remember a salesman when I was picking out my 98 trying to talk me into a 97 30th aniversary edition SS that had a sticker that was nearly $40000!! These prices are right in line with what I was expecting. My only complaint is the no blue for the SS. But since I plan on waiting till 2010 or 2011 to purchase, maybe it will be available then. This car is HOT!! Let the masses buy the cheaper Mustang! If you are truly looking for style and performance (with more than 2 seats Vette guys ) this is the car you need!

I am just disappointed that there seems to be about a $3000 premium over a comparable mustang. I thought GM would try to come in more competetive than they are. Mustangs still have an MSRP under $20,000 for a base car. And yea, the Camaro is WAY better for only $3000, but a lot of people are going to get turned off by the price when they compare side by side. And for this Camaro to last, the V6 needs to sell well.

I'm disappointed the auto is extra cost.

Also: Why is the block heater not available on SS? It gets dang cold where I live.

 

I really have to start making extra payments on my G6. As soon as it's paid off I can budget a Camaro 2SS weekend driver.
