I figured it was about time that I posted my pics. I came from a 2014 Gen5 V6 2LT RS edition camaro to this one. 2016 Gen6 V8 2SS. Boy am I glad I made the leap. The Gen5 was always a stop gap for me. I knew I'd be upgrading to this model... I always looked at every camaro that passed by to see it if was a SS model. Now I'm one of them.

Bought it for 45.5k before taxes etc (taxes 4.5% here). I had the educators discount, plus another 1k for conquest etc. Wife is military so I got the destination fee knocked down to $75! Car was originally 50k. Dealer forgot it had tint already and nitrogen in tires, so I didn't get charged for those (another $750) . Plus I had them throw in the footwell lighting (I have to go back and have it installed).

I drive this beast about 90 miles round trip to work everyday and haul a lil one to daycare in a front facing seat. We love it! I averaged 21.9 mpg in the V6 and make 23.9 in the V8. I'm nearly 3k miles in after almost 4 weeks. I bought the extended ware due to my high mileage. $1600 for 4yr/100k miles.

Thanks so everyone here for the advice on negotiations etc! I lurked for a while before making the plunge.

Beautiful car!!! Nitrogen in the tires is nothing but a money maker for the dealership. Very little advantage if any.

Thanks for the replies. And yes the tint and nitrogen were definite mark ups. They wanted $500 for tint. I could have got it for an easy $200 but luckily I wasn't charged.

No I sure doesn't get much better... Well unless that "Z" class starts calling my name. But that'll be a while for sure!

Love that interior and color combination! Would be my choice! Only thing I would do to it would be powdercoat the wheels. Congrats on a very nice car

That's a beautiful combo of color, interior and wheels. I wouldn't change a thing. Congratulations.

Thanks! Only thing I would have done is maybe change the emblems to black. Other than that I agree with you.
