GM will only be selling cars during 20% off MSRP events soon enough. They have played too many pricing games and over-inflated their positions repeatedly each year.

The Mustang is back on the throne for sales and we're look at 2000-2002 for the Camaro again already. At the current trends the Challenge will overtake the Camaro in late 2017. Yes, that POS sardine can is trending to outsell the 2+2 performance champ. If that doesn't tell you GM has screwed the pooch on pricing, I don't know what does.

If you want a loaded 2SS, wait until Sep-Oct of this year. If you want a ZL1, wait until that same time next year. If you get the 20% off, and put 10% down, you're ahead on day one and will never owe more than your trade-in. And yes, the 10% off the lot & 10% of original price for years 1-5 is pretty accurate. On year 6-8, you'll see 10% of residual price. After that you've hit rock bottom as long as you maintain the vehicle.

Push it another 17 years past that and you'll start to appreciate as the number remaining in the wild go into the low thousands or hundreds (but only on the top models -- my 2013 2LT will not appreciate like a 2013 2SS or ZL1 will).
