Default 2010 SS camaro Or a 2007 Z06 vette?

Found a 2007 z06 vette for 45k.
What would you pick?
new SS or a 07 z06?
Also a friend stated that the z06 might be a bit over priced.

Looking into getting my self a camaro.
Just wondering what or how you guys got your finance
How much your paying per month
and insurance?
Thanks for input!

yeah your over all payments are gonna come down to your intrest rates and the better your cedit is the more likely you are to get a better intrest rate. sometimes dealerships have specials going on with very low intrest for the first 3 years or something.

Your payments are also going to depend on how much you put down and most importantly, if your a good talker and able to talk down the price of a car at the dealership

But with all that being said i priced a 2010 SS almost fully loaded for kicks a few months ago and it was going to be around $38k..
Like the last guy said just save that money for a slightly used LS3 C6 IMO

What would you think would be the monthly payment difference between a c6 and a camaro ss?

The MSRP on my car was almost $38.5k. I got it for almost $2k less than that. A couple of people asked me why I didn't just get a used C6 for that price. The answer was simple, I didn't want a C6, I wanted a Camaro.

If your looking at a used C6 close to around the same price as a new SS (lets say in the ball park of 35-39k) on a 72month plan....probably somewhere between $550-$650ish but im just coming off the top of my head and havent really crunched the numbers down so please remember just a close ball park number. Monthly payments fall on alot of factors.

How much down, your intrest rate, your loan term...ect

but for the price, if you got the means of affording the same kinda note, why not get the Vette.

LOL now your going into a whole new world...
Look both cars are great and i wouldnt want to take your mind off the Camaro if thats what your sights are set on. IMO though and for the Money LS3 vette is the way to go... But im sure if you did some homework as in Car and Driver articals and Dealership specs and stuff you will see the huge gap in performance between the 2 cars.. bone stock VS bone stock...lets just say it would be night and day.

alright so i'm a car salesman. i'm going to let all you guys in on a secret. 2010 camaro ss will run you about 36grand. most banks require 1/3 down so they are gonna ask for about 10-11k down. thats just the negation point. for payments, heres the formula; price x 2 + 89= payment. so for $36,000 your going to X's 36 by 2= 72+89= $800/month payment. this is also the negating point. lets be real about it tho.. they arnt going to let you out putting $0/down with a low payment no matter how good your credit is. be ready to put anywhere from 3-6grand down if you want a payment anywhere from $500-$600. p.s. they may act like the sale doesnt matter to them but in all reality your probably their first up all day so they want to make it count.

Here use this link and put your info in.

Main thing is to figure out what the cars are going for then put in the info. Then you can start subtracting money from the loan amount to get to the payment you want and of coarse the amount you subtracted would be what you would need for a down payment.
This will get you in the ball park.

Also remember your TTl

insurance on my 2010 is pretty cheap. Actually went down from the truck i had before. With my z28 and this one on a full coverage policy i pay 90$ a month. As for payment i really cant say much as it was paid in full on delivery.

11 second car out of the box with a good DA and drag radials. Doesn't feel like a tank, good car on the road course(add C6Z sways to wreck havoc), etc.

The 2010SS+LS3's are great cars, and have the same powerplant that the vettes do. However, they are behind the 5.0 mustangs stock, and behind the C6's.

My choice was a 5.0 or a C6. Came down to speed and how much fun I would have owning each. The decision was clear, the vette.

If it was between a 5.0 and a 2010 camaro, I'd take the 5.0 since I have seat time in both. Much better feeling car, faster, etc. The 5.0 stomps the 2010+SS, IMO.

Car sales-mens math is so fuzzy. Your own secret formula (price * 2 + 89 = payment)

(36*2)+89=161 where the hell does $800 come from, I see how your able to negotiate because your numbers don't add up.


For a 72 month loan at a normal interest rate
Easy answer is ~$100/month for every $5k in loans

so $36k - $3600 (10%down) = $32.4k $650/ month

im almost certain it was a joke, because of how much car payments can cost different amounts from person to person.

I like when salesmen ask me "what are you wanting your monthly payment to be"? I tell them I'm not talking about monthly payments. I'm interested in driveout price only. Good credit gives you leverage because you know financing won't be a problem.

C6s are good cars, but some people want 4 seats.
