Default Black loaded 2SS at local dealer

figured i'd post this up...this car showed up at Crossroads Chevrolet, here in joplin, MO, but sold in minutes for $44K...STICKER price with no markup. those wheels were a $38xx option.

This car was completely loaded, except for a sunroof, as far as i could tell...wheels, body kit, inferno interior, everything....gorgeous except for the wheels IMHO. i'd like to see this same car with the 18" steel black rally's.

sorry for the blackberry pics...it was all i had with me.

The body kit looks amazing with the black. You can barely see it but damn looks good.

I really like the interior the more I see it, especially the color combo on this car.

that's what i said.

and yes, the interior on these cars is BADASS. you can see the Holden influence shining through like on the GTO's and G8's. it was gorgeous, easy on the eyes, stylish, but not over done and nothing in it looked cheap.

in all honesty, i'm having trouble finding things i would change besides wheels as far as appearance goes on these cars.

This car also has almost 10k worth of upgrades done to it as well. Hell the 21" wheels are almost 4k THEMSELVES.

The fact of the matter is the price is RIGHT on point. Look at how much a completely loaded Trans Am or SS was. Im sure youll be pretty damn surprised at how much people paid for these lesser quality cars.

Awesome car, and I think that 44k for a car of this caliber, and this loaded, is RIGHT on.

Yeah, it does look good with the ground effects there.
Not a fan of the rear ground effect though. (that's my opinion though). It does look a lot better when the ground effects are color painted to match the body of the car.

Body kit looks pretty decent. So do the wheels. For that price though, I'd much rather have a Vette. A Vette looks better IMO, it's a lot faster, you don't have to wait for an aftermarket, holds its value better, etc, all for the same money.

you guys need to see this car or one like it in person. i wasn't a fan of the body kit either, but on a black car in person it looks f*cking ****. i don't think it would look to great on another color, but you've gotta admit that it could be a LOT worse...


as for the $44K price tag...take the ghetto dubs off ($3880), remove the body kit, and TRY to make yourself part with the inferno interior (which i could not part with)...and this car would have been under $39K or maybe under $38K. i didn't stare at the sticker too much, but i would MUCH rather have that exact same car with the black steel 18" rims, no body kit, and lowered 1.5"-2". THAT would look tough as hell IMHO.

the overall fit-n-finish, quality of parts, and bang for your buck make this car FAR superior to any mustang or challenger on the market today.....again, IMHO.
