Scotty do any lease options exist on the camaro?

On manufacturer websites like chevy, ford, dodge these kind of cars are really just being financed to be sold. Or is a dealership thing.

Sorry if these are obvious answer questions to some, never hada brand new car. lol

I guess I can't really say... I always just assumed GM or anybody else for that matter would do whatever it took to get money from the consumer. I think leasing would be an excellent idea for a V6 car especially for someone like me. I don't keep much of anything more than a year or two. Probably not a great idea for an SS, or anybody planning to mod. I fully intend to dump several thousand into my car, and I love it for now but when the newness wears off it will get sold.

the thing about the v6s is the loss of value in only few yrs.compared to a v8.
when the v6 drop to cash prices is when ill swoop in and take one. and swap in ls and still be cheeper overall imo

I am glad this just came up. I just found a dealer who is selling all 28 of the camaros they have in stock for approx $2000 off of retail. I know thats not a big bargain but for the 2010's its decent. They have a Base model black on black V6 car for $22,750. I was pretty impressed.

Well I'm actually thinking of swapping out my LS3 for a Prius drivetrain... A hybrid of a hybrid thing, you know. Keeping it classy...

My buddy has a 2LT V6 with all the options except the RS. Sure it looks nice IOM with polished 20s and blk stripes. Waste of money IMO. For 3K more he could have had a LS3. He wanted the leather, auto with the paddles (that have not been used yet and 3K on the car) and the V6. He cant drive a stick and has no ***** to add to his insufficent amount of cylinders.....

BTW he wrote a check for the car......and didnt WANT to toss out the extra for the SS or the RS package. DUMBA$$ with lots of CASH


Cant even keep up with his dads Crossfire Coupe

From everything i've been hearing, it would be MUCH cheaper to go SS. As with anything, if you sprinkle enough $$, it can be done but the LS swap isn't a simple bolt in and go. Supposedly there are structural differences between the two cars as well. We'll see what happens in the years to come but preliminary reports say it's cost prohibitive.
