Almost all SS's at least in my area have npp. If you're not flexible on color, it may limit how good a deal you'll get. Personally I wouldn't buy one without $5k off msrp at a minimum. I only prefer a 1ss manual with npp. So I'd never pay over $35k before tax.

Hey all, have a major update. Been talking to a dealership out of state (about 5 hour drive away) that has pretty much the exact 2SS I would want.

Exterior Color: Summit White
Interior Color: Adrenaline Red
Transmission: Automatic (sorry Manual lovers out there :S )
Misc features: Dual Mode Performance Exhaust, Navigation, Sunroof, it's also got performance summer tires on there - I'm going to ask if I can have these changed out, as nice as they are this would be my DD so I'd need year-round tires.

MSRP: $47k
-Incentives and dealership discounts that they are guaranteeing me: $8k
-My car estimate trade in value: $15k
+Still owe on my car: $10.5k
+"Accessories" (need to check with them what these are): $1500
+Dealer fees & sales tax: $2500

=Total out the door price: $38500

I am extremely tempted at that price point. And for the perfect storm of colors & features I'm looking for. Locally, the lowest I've seen is about $41k and nothing in that exact color combination. Either I'm sacrificing the adrenaline red to get a white exterior, or I'm sacrificing the white exterior to get adrenaline red inside, etc.

Thoughts?

Good time to buy:
Pretty good: last 3 days of month - yes, not a myth
A bit better: last 3 days of a quarter
The best: last 3 days of the calendar year

All this because this is when internal GM dealer incentives are calculated ;month, quarter and year.

Well, unless it somehow gets sold between now and the weekend, I'm going out there to buy it Saturday

They won't hold it for me since I can't physically give them a down payment until I'm actually there. But they said if it's still there on Friday then they'll hold it til Saturday morning.

Biggest feature it's missing is Magride which isn't a deal breaker for me.

What are y'all doing about tires? Guess I'll make a different thread about that on the proper forums. Comes with summer tires w/ black rims. This will be my DD so still will be driving in winter.

Find some used 18" Camaro or CTS wheels on Craigslist and put snow tires on it unless you live where you don't get snow. Snow tires are world's apart from all-season in the winter.

Got it almost 2 weeks ago

New 2017 2SS automatic, white exterior, red leather interior, dual mode performance exhaust, sunroof, upgraded OEM wheels & black rims, etc. Missing Magride but that wasn't a feature I particularly cared for anyway.

They already had accessories installed including window tint so I couldn't remove the accessory cost (was about $1k total).

I also added on tire protection and extended warranty.

Out the door price was about $39600 (that includes the stuff I added on, taxes, fees, incentives, and my vehicle trade in which was worth about $5k after taking out what I still owed on it).

Loving it so far. Since I bought it out if state I'm still waiting for my registration paperwork from the DMV (dealership said they started the process, I just need to wait for it to arrive). Carrying around my purchase paperwork with me until then.

Sorry to bump old thread, but is the dealer on the same "quarterly" calendar as us? Ie end of June might be better than end of May?

All I know is "not now". Dealers aren't giving an inch, and I haven't been willing to pay MSRP minus the $1,000 market rebate just on principle.

That's been my experience on the ZL1, is that what you are referring to? Or all trim levels even

[edillen1]

I'm kinda wondering now what "acceptable" prices are. Getting ready to look at some 17 1ss models. I guess I will know soon what the dealers are willing to do. An interesting observation is that ones I have been looking at seem to have been sitting on dealer lots for quite some time. (4 months plus).
