Best time to buy?
Hey all,
I'm new to the world of Camaro. Looking to buy a 2017 2SS, specifically in either white, silver, arctic blue, or maybe the FIFTY. Wondering when's a good time to buy in terms of price? Can I expect the price to drop a grand or two if I wait til July/August? Also is the Conquest incentive offer typically year round? Thanks! |

Got a good price on a 2016 last December (had to search online, but found an awesome deal). A friend of mine got a good deal on one that October, though the incentives started rolling in that third quarter. Depends on the inventory left. Out going model tends to drop in price, especially after the New Year and inventory is low. Each dealer is different in my experience. You might even find a 2018 at a good price if you search hard enough. Take your time though. I absolutely adore my loaded 2LT, but had I took a deep breath I could have popped the cherry on a 2SS for about the same price, had I only been prepared.

Start looking now I last month GM was offering better incentives then April, the other issue is I am starting to see a lack of inventory for what I was looking for (HBM 2SS Convertible, A8, black leather, NPP).
If you are not set on a color and options you should be fine waiting, but I my area the pickings are getting slim. Becky D up at Rodgers Chevrolet had exactly what I was looking for at a good price so I flew up to Michigan and drove my new SS home.

From what I Have seen and read - pretty much anytime if you contact Becky at Rogers Chevrolet in Michigan (Forum Sponsor). Recently, there was a guy who flew all the way from Florida to pick up his car he ordered from her. If I lived in the U.S., she would have been my Number 1 choice......Hands down....
Just putting it out there...... Edit: Just found the Thread: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=491305

The auto industry as a whole typically starts to offer better incentives around October. The Holiday months pile up at the end of the year and it's harder to get people into dealerships to sell cars since they are out shopping or doing Holiday things, and they will have to clear out current inventory to make room for new model year vehicles and still make sales quotas. Of course YMMV.

Thanks all, I'm not in a rush so I may wait til late summer / early fall. My biggest concern is that I won't be able to find what I'm looking for the longer I wait. I'm pretty dead set on the exterior color & having performance exhaust.

But Chevy chat is your best bet, they'll find you the exact car if available on a lot coast to coast. I was able to track every red hot that was available that time from Boston to Arizona and was able to convince a dealer to tag one. Good luck with your search! |

If you order or buy out-of-town or out-of-state, be sure you include the splash guards in the deal so that you don't get a bunch of rock chips on your trip home.
