I agree, my Rubbermaid in my kitchenware has better material. Only Chevy or GM car I would get is the new c7 interior finally looks as good as the car.

im not a fan of the '14 rear end... the '13 looked pretty good, not sure why they changed that.

but you're the same guy putting sways and swifts and questioning about other mods on your base lease.... Dude please.... :wtf2:

Fiance has a 2010 2SS 6-speed and we just ordered a 2014 2SS 1LE. Should be here next month some time. Despite what others say I really enjoy the Camaro. It's got it's pros and cons but so does the Z. The 2SS is i a great car and I can't wait to see what the 1LE is like when it comes in. To be honest my next car will probably be a domestic simply because I don't like the direction Japanese car makers are going with sports cars, or should I say lack there of. The STI is already rumored to not have much more performance than it currently does and the rumors of the upcoming Z are proving to be similar. Seems the domestic brands are the only ones willing to put some balls under the hood these days.

With regard to your lease, I would re look at the numbers. We are financing ours with only our trade in as the down but our payment will be less than what yours will be. Plus we get to own our car. Then again i loan will be longer than your 3 year lease.

:superghey:

Those lease payments seem very high. Other cars that cost more to purchase you can lease at cheaper rates. Those seem a bit out of whack.

What would be a good lease payment for a fully loaded 2SS? I've never leased a car and so I have no idea.

In the past I have gone to talk to sales people about leasing a 370z and and leasing a 5.0 Mustang, and in both cases I was told roughly 700 per month. So that's why I thought this was a good deal, but maybe I'm wrong

Also just adding to my question above, would it be smarter to just finance it even if I don't want to keep it more than a few years?

I really just want low payments so I would do a 6 year loan...but with a small down payment I feel like after 2 years I'll be way upside down when I go to sell.

Which way would end up costing me less when I get rid of the car after 2 or so years?

If you are set on keeping it for two years, lease or buy used. Buying would leave you behind based on depreciation.

I looked at the 2014 Camaro 2SS before I decided on the Z. It drove pretty well and I liked the look, but I just couldn't get past the visibility. I didn't think the interior was that bad, not as good as a Z, but better than a Challenger and almost as good as a Mustang. Still I bet you will enjoy the hell out of it. There is just something about good 'ole American muscle. Also, the 6.2 is a great engine, but I would find it impossible not to add some bolt-ons, which you can't do with a lease. Not sure if that is your thing though. Anyways good luck talking them down to $500 a month. Could you possibly get that if you told them you would put $4000 down instead?

What is the sticker price on the car? Here in NC, there is a BMW dealer that is offering a nicely loaded BMW 3 series, roughly $45k for only $2500 down and $399 per month. I think the lease option you were given is high because of the kind of car it is. They want to get their money's worth from someone buying such a powerful sport car. People don't buy BMW's and go out racing. That's the only reason I can think the lease price is so high.

Leased prices are based on resale value of a car. You pay to get into something you normally can't afford and can give it back after the term. Dealers make tons of money on you and get a certified used car back. It guarantees two sales.

Even if you switch cars often it's far more economical to buy and resell rather than lease. Like someone mentioned earlier, you're out something like $20k over 3 years or so. You think your car is going to depreciate that much over that period of time? I'm thinking it'll drop more in line of $10k or so.

Camaro??? Noooooooo

I've known a number of guys who got one.... only to later sell soon after. Lots of options out there with better performance to $ and better fit/finish Issues with visibility and headroom too....

I would never lease either...

That's made exclusively in CANADA. American eh?
