PM me for my salesman name, he was great.

Did you get your LT1 recently? If yes, is it Riverside Blue? My Costco Auto dealer picked that car as one that would more or less meet my needs.

Yes, 6MT in Riverside Blue, RS package, and polished forged wheels. I signed my deal on 12/30 and got the car on 12/31.

I've noticed that too. VERY few dealers down here carry it or even the SS. I saw one Lt1 listed on auto trader. A convertible for almost 43k. Otherwise only other v8 I see are loaded SS convertible 2ss loaded up around 55 grand! Easier finding a use 1 or 2ss down here.


I live in a crap area if you want to buy a Mustang GT, Camaro or Challenger unless you want it fully loaded and very limited selection.

Congrats! The clowns at my dealer claimed they sent someone to trade this car (without my approval) after I had found another dealer around here that did have a car in stock.


Good think this Costco Auto dealer was full of **** or your car would be in Chicago

Yes I got very lucky, I put in a lead from Autotrader before the car was up on the dealer website. Had another deal lined up at Bowman Chevy in Clarkston for about ~$20 less per month on lease, but it was black with less options. Seems that no one can keep the manuals in stock. Feldman of Highland and Novi had manuals that lasted maybe 2-3 days on the lot.

Matick Chevy has an incoming manual posted on their site. Give them a shout.

Pull up the search
Find car(s)
Look at the dealer website
Call dealer

It is how I found my last 5 vehicles.

Agreed! And it is the easy way to find the best deal. Leverage the offers you find on the car you want.
