Buying a Camaro? Watch This Video First!

[@clearmario]

I went into a Chevy dealership a few days ago. I went there to schedule an oil change. I was planning on buying either a Camaro, WRX, or Mini Cooper later this year so I went onto the car lot to check out the Camaro. The sales person came up and asked if I wanted to test drive it and I said sure. After 5 hours of saying no I don't want the car today the dealership had offered to pay off my current car ($8k owed out of $10k that I bought it for), $7k off the original asking price, and lowered my APR from 8% to 5%. I knew this deal would never happen again and this is how I became an owner of a new 2018 Camaro.

Nice video man. Made a lot of nice points for people who like you said are not car guys. Buying a car is very emotional. The dealership knows that and they want that. It's good to slow down, take your time and not get caught up in it.

[@TheTaigas]

Personally, I own a 2015 1Lt/RS with a manual transmission. Don't fault anyone whom wants to own an automatic. But personally? The paddle shifter without the clutch just doesn't feel the same. It feels.... wrong? I love the feel of my foot pressing down on the clutch, the stick shifting from 1 to 2 or 3 to 4 or whatever. The sound of the engine as you shift up or down, then the control over power. The entire process is blissful to me. Bought my 2015 new this year, at 15% off msrp.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

I have never bought a vehicle off the lot. I write down what i want and have them find one already built somewhere in the country. Most dealers will spec search GM vehicles for you and swap inventory with another dealer. Once they find one and give me the Vin#, i have another dealer search the VIN and present me an offer. I usually knock off a grand or two, sometimes the sales people get frustrated but i don't give two ducks.

[@vt2704]

What's up bro me again and gladly found this video. Crazy part is not just your advice is spot on and above stuff I never done before when buying a car or bike from a dealship or most commonly known as the stealership, a lot of problems you mentioned has happened to me and because I don't know I always went in for the most part with specifics and still got played because I didn't do the internet searches of local dealers and I felt that once I spoke with a salesman at ONE dealership and felt comfortable that's when I got jacked. With the salesman knowingly that I knew my car's and done builds before ECT thinking to myself this guy knows better just because we spoke and I explained thoroughly my knowledge of car's and my level of being mechanically inclined to such a point that I said to myself this guy knows better than to play me! You said it once you signed those papers it's unbelievably insane that you just did that and the number one response is when they pull it up is "hey you already signed so just take it then bring it back in a week" and we will take care of it. I could go on and on but if someone is reading this trust me listen to this man's advice and you probably should rewatch this video at least a few time's. I have gotten from wrong colors, wrong interior,small damage of course, wrong about of cylinders(LOL),check engine light, brake,abs,traction control,fluid level light's OMG you can't believe how true the fact is don't sign until they have it right up front and your holding the keys matching a vin# to the car you specifically wanted and checked THOROUGHLY! I must admit this was buying used car's from a year to 3 years old most of the time but always a new dealship because of how the previous one I dealt with, and I have to cut it short because I can write a book in addition to the video my man here has made. NEVER AND I'M SO SERIOUS NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR PREVIOUS PURCHASE(NIGHTMARE) FROM ANOTHER DEALSHIP YOU MADE! Why? It's always been a mystery to me but it just seems like the salesman, manager, whoever is above it all says we have to 1,2, or even 3 up the problems this guy had before. He's an idiot they must have said. Until I waited and if it was a new car kept checking closest dealerships sales on the website's(ALWAYS PRINT OUT THE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE SALE OPTIONS ON THE EXACT CAR AND OPTIONS WITH PRICE(S)! If not you can tell them word for word and they will say "yeah, no problem" then you sign and they got you! Oh we sold that model and I can't give you this for that amount, I 'll get fired or how can a feed my family. If you show up with a scanned copy of the advertisement then all of a sudden a team huddles up ,low talking starts among other co- workers, thing's of that kind of nature. Almost always someone else comes back and asks where did you PRINT this from,or we can't do that, you must have a misprint or something is wrong with your scanner or computer. *ALWAYS BRING CASH IN THE AMOUNT OF THE ADVERTISEMENT PRICE AND SHOW IT AS THEY COME BACK WITH THE B.S. Then they say hold on because you made yourself clear you won't comprise, accept,or negotiate for a worse deal. As long as you show your down payment if that is all you got(best to have it all in cash for the whole amount of the car) and they "claim they can't do that " just silently pull out your own pen and paper to write your number down and say no problem I am taking this ADVERTISEMENT to another dealership TODAY because I am buying, leasing,whatever and if you can figure it out before I sign on some other vehicle call me .Watch how they almost never let you walk away more than a few steps but NEVER sign until you make it clear to tell them go draw up the paper's and will be vin checking it 1st and a second run through of the vehicle YOU wanted as before. They almost certainly will be angry but watch how you end up with what you want. Don't be afraid either because these guy's a lot of the time's get very undisirable and angry but while your holding the keys to the matching car then sign while sitting in it walk in the office with the money and walk out with plates you may want to bring a screwdriver or pliers and install your plates yourself. You win!!!

[@BulletSpoung]

What I did has figured out everything I wanted, every option, color everything so I was buying the same exact car from each dealer. Step number two is buy your car over the phone. Some dealers told me that they won't deal over the phone, I just told them, OK I will the next dealer. I had a list that I downloaded of every Chevy dealer in my state. I started calling the dealers one by one and told each one them the same thing. I'm going to order a new car and if you will sell it to me for one dollar over invoice I will drive in and place my order. Don't let them try to sell you a car off there lot. This puts everyone on the same playing field, ether they will or they won't, if not just move on to the next dealer on the list.

[@TheJerseyFloridian]

Great vid, Hammer. Car buying is definitely fun if you know what you're doing, have done all your research, and deal with a reputable dealership/salesman. It all can go south when you haven't met those three criteria. You are spot on with know the invoice price for the options you want. Don't go in talking about monthly payments(major mistake) and price haggle from the top. The car is listed at 50k, invoice is 47k. Don't let them sell you on well with 5k down we can make your payments $399 a month. Sounds great until it's a 84 month loan where you're paying more in interest over the life of the loan with a higher interest rate and will have negative equity for the majority of it. Just focus on getting the price of the car as close to 47k as possible and keeping the loan terms as short as possible. And if possible come in with your own financing from a credit union that isn't trying to fleece you at a 2.99% interest rate when you qualify for 1.99% or even 0.99%. Finance managers do get kick backs when they get you at the higher rate and they only get you when you aren't prepared. There's so many nuances into car buying but just like anything, if you know how to play the game it makes it much more fun.

The local dealer down the road says no discount even though he has tons of 2016 on the lot. If I drive 30 miles from my city they are offering 2500 off of the SS and 1750 on the V-6. You just have to do your homework or get taken. A little patience pays off!

Great video Hammer. Really helpful for those who are planning to buy a car. Don't tell dealer that you are looking for new car and planning to get ASAP. I went to dealership with list of options I need and amount I would like to pay and mentioned don't want to pay penny more than this. They will try to pay you more by showing monthly payments and tell you there will be just $12 more per month than what you would like to pay. Don't fall for that. The car with options I mentioned was not available at that time. Finally I was able to get car with better options than what I want for same price I mentioned. dealers want to clear their inventory. Truecar.com is not really help full. I paid $5000 less than truecar.com estimate. Check out dealership review before going there.

I went to a dealership in the South Bay Area (NoCal) CA the other day to check out the inventory. Actually was hoping to find a new 2018 hoping to get a good buy but they only had 2019's, and that's fine too. I'm partial to the 2LT RS with V6, auto, sunroof, leather and maybe tbe tech package. Anyway I sat in basically the car I'd be willing to consider but the salesman told me there is no dealing on the price because the cars are too much in demand. The MSRP on the vehcile wss $35k. I mentioned Presidents Day sales coming up and he said, no not on Camero's. We were sitting there for quite a while rapping about the cars and even had the engine running for a while. He never once asked if I wanted to test drive it. It was idling so long while we were talking the engine eventually turned itself off, which he said was a feature of remote start. Anyway i just thought it was very odd that he didn't seem the least bit interested in selling me the car. And I was the only customer there at the time, I didnt see anyone else at all. Weird... I do like the car but I'm not willing to believe there is no room in the price at all so I really got turned off by the response the guy gave me. I also thought his comment about Camaro's being in high demand was off as frankly I personally dont see a ton of them on the roads here in the Bay Area actually. Anyway that was my experience.

I’m getting a Camaro within the year and these were great tips

[@MJKINECTADDICT]

Nice video good tips I work for two dealerships Chevy and Toyota and I couldn't agree more about making sure the vehicle is perfect before taking delivery, keep up the vids bro

[@mattkay7334]

I saw Chevy is giving a 20% cash back on MSRP for all new 2016 Camaro's so I bought a new 2SS for less then a new 1SS or a used 2016 2SS. Ends nationwide on Halloween so if you're in the market buy now.

[@matthewzhang1579]

Matt Kay where did you hear that, that is an awesome deal if it's real.

[@mattkay7334]

It was definitely real, not sure if they are still doing it or not. When I bought the car the salesmen said it was one of the best deals he had ever seen. jalopnik.com/brand-new-chevrolet-camaros-are-absurdly-cheap-right-no-1787662886 This was posted the same month I bought my Camaro.

[@hamzaqureshi5360]

finally an interesting vlog. keep up the great work!

[@jsb1561]

I ordered mine and had vin made to my liking, but before all that I went out and test drove the Challenger with the scat pack, and the GT 350 No R, the Camaro was priced best handled the best, power wise too close to tell, but all N' all I already knew I was getting a 2SS I just wanted to know my competition in my price range. I follow you a lot like every time to post I usually do except the body kit. I love what your doing so keep putting them out there.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Scott Bruton Thanks! Share some pics when your new car shows up

[@jsb1561]

It's my avatar, I got it back in April, I was one of the first ones to get a 2SS in the Houston TX area.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Scott Bruton looks amazing

[@salvadorlopez-ol4ul]

Scott Bruton so you built yours exactly how you wanted it? Like the color, spoiler, transmission, interior, and all?

[@jsb1561]

salvador lopez yes everything but spoiler, it is a 1 off.

when this vid came out I was only in middle school, time flies now im really trying to find a v8 camaro right now to purchase its the hardest to find one 💔

[@jamesscipione8292]

Thank you for the tips i just ordered a 2018 camaro 2ss and i will definitely be using them!

[@jaymuzikelsensacional]

also price and loan options make a big difference too. is what ever your situation allows you to do. If ur financing it all depends on the bank and price

[@goldenninja8048]

Great video and very insightful, even though I am not at the age of leasing a car from a dealership I really enjoyed your take on this also these in car vlogs are awesome love the way you are changing it up.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Golden Ninja Thank you sir!

[@juanorosco2518]

Why not get a used one? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I bought a 2015 Camaro RS and it was low in mileage.

[@jewlz4790]

Just curious, What is low in mileage? I seen one for sale for 15k & has 96k on it wasn’t sure if it was a good deal or not

[@juanorosco2518]

@@jewlz4790 Lmfao I would never pay for that piece of crap. I got mine with 15k miles on it

[@jewlz4790]

Juan Orosco lmao guess that’s a bad deal but that’s what’s up, how much was yours? I seen a few 2019s with low mileage but I like the 6 gen body’s

[@juanorosco2518]

@@jewlz4790 Ehhh 6th gens are decent, I'm going to ding the storage bin and trunk space which are both smaller than the 5th gen. Mine was $24k

[@jewlz4790]

Juan Orosco oh damn that’s not bad at all man, yeah I think because they are slightly smaller I’m leaning towards a 6 gen, my friend have a 5th gen ss I drove around for a while and enjoyed it lol I don’t think I need a v8 tho

[@GVOSOUL]

Looking to buy my first Camaro for graduation and this helped a lot 🙏🏾

[@505enthusiast4]

Great advice. Also search 500 mile radius on cars.com if you willing to go out of town to purchase you sometimes cam save thousands

[@Hinkle3]

lifetime oil changes from a dealer is always BS, first time you deny a repair it voids... get your oil changed somewhere else... void... just a sales pitch.. and you should buy local, don't let them rip you off but don't buy from a huge dealer just because their price is $200 cheaper....

[@Lethalgarage]

+Aaron Hinkle ummm... not sure how your dealer does it, but none of that is true for mine.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Aaron Hinkle ummm... not sure how your dealer does it, but none of that is true for mine.

[@Hinkle3]

+Lethalhammer I work at a dealership, I know the gimmicks... That dealership could be different in not saying you're wrong, maybe they sell hundreds of new cars every month so they can afford to lose money on every oil change... But there is ALWAYS fine print with loopholes.... I had a customer that bought elsewhere because of "lifetime oil changes" he came back 6 months later to trade it in after he found out he had to pay $40 for a tire rotation every single oil change. And it was voided once he denied a ridiculous fix they said he needed.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Aaron Hinkle yeah my dealer doesn't do that. You simply pay the disposal fee which is under $2. My dealer services over 100 cars a day.

[@TheTyphoon365]

Never owned a great car before, and have never really looked into it, but recently been looking at camaros, particularly the ZL1. Looks amazing, something like that in an orange or something bright would be my dream. Maybe in a few years... but at the end of the day, I guess they got 4 wheels like everything else. Maybe an expensive car isn't worth it, not sure.

[@cole___8151]

My dad just bought a 2016 black Silverado and 1 side had those marks on it and hope it can be buffed out cause he just got it today

[@venxitiy]

I saw your PO Box location says Temecula and I’m about 30-40mins away from there. I’m looking into a Camaro SS and I would like to see if you by chance remember the dealership where you got yours?

Nice Video looking to get a Camaro when i turn 21 here in the next few months. going to wait so insurance cost is lower and i haven't decided which one i am going for yet.

[@intuneknight9681]

This video was very helpful to bargain my Camaro 2018 RS package I get just the normal with the RS package, but man I hear your words like it was the bible, and I make a very good deal the dealer was very helpful all the time, with the first dealer was so annoying it was like this is the price take care, but the second one he really get into the back and forward and get a very good deal in part thanks to this video man, you should title this video the art of the Camaro deal, lol anyway thank you so much keep those videos going believe it or not you a help me and maybe other people out there, this is my first Camaro and I have to much to learn.

Haha Sledge, trolling muscle car vids and I about crapped myself when I saw your mug pop up on this vid. What a small internet! :) Black on white, good taste as always! Keep it real man!

[@Lethalgarage]

+ryan stefanelli oh snap! I was cool enough to pop up in your search. I feel honored. Hope all is well with the family and studio.

[@khunopie9159]

1 - Dealer invoice is not the true dealer invoice. The car companies have wised up to this so if a dealer sells you at online "invoice" they are still making money. Up to a couple of grand profit 2 - any "freebies" like servicing will prevent you from getting a lower "deal" on a car. There is no "free"

[@Lethalgarage]

+Khu NoPie Oh I know. When purchasing my car I was able to see the real invoice for my car which with options was about $3400 profit for the dealer if they didn't give me any sort of deal.

[@cardo1111]

Well done vid, some good tips. A lot of dealers will try to pass things through like haze/swirl marks, unpacking damages to moldings etc. A busy dealership delivering a bunch of cars at the end of the month will often rush through prep that can often cause finish damage, beware and don't take delivery at night when you can't take a good look. Any salesman that asks me how much I want to pay per month my answer is always $10. The more informed you are the less likely you will regret your purchase decision.

[@kabar48]

I have a 2011 camaro 1 lt rs. and this yr I'm going to buy my second camaro. ZL1. 2017 . 640 HP. but the dealership in town doesn't take me seriously. lol their loss.. I know exactly what I want. what options. even down to color. and the accent red seat belts. oh yea.. .

[@lsh19930713]

Me too. There are 2 chevy dealer in town but one just almost ignored me and salesman just refused me to see the real car. WTF. Another is much better also the salesman looked nervous when i was test driving. I will definitely go to second one to buy cars also the price in first one is better. The attitude to customers really makes differences.

[@frustratedmillennialz]

Wtf really? That's shitty man, I'm sorry. Do they think a V6 owner can't ever upgrade to a supercharged V8 wtf?? Dumb dealer.

I'm a young 19 year old kid; accomplished welder with 8 tickets. I love my career and job. It's damn hard and i'm damn good at it. After 2 months of my first job(over 20$ a hour) I bought myself a 1994 3.8L 1994 Camaro for 2k I daily drive. It's not stock, lots of audio upgrades; a 300$ radio, new cooper cobra tires I have to put on; cold air intake; dual 8" jbl subwoofers; etc etc. I f*cking love it. plan on doing more.

I bought a 5th gen 1lt 6 months ago. Now I realize I am truly a V8 sound guy and I miss my leather seats. I’m torn between the 5th gen 2SS and the 6th gen 2SS! I love the body of the 5th gen and the electronics and drive modes of the 6th gen. Any guiding advice would be appreciated?!?!?

[@Lethalgarage]

The 6th Gen just outdoes the 5th gen in tech and upgrades. Also has more power. But if you married by looks, get the one you want.

[@SFGiantsfan9797]

Is it better to get the 2ss over the ZL1? I know the ZL1 has a supercharger, 650 Horsepower and 6400 torque. I'm torn on which one. I know a new ZL1 usually costs around 62,000 but I've seen like 3 years old ones for around 48,000-53,000, would that be a deal?

[@danielrv4915]

It depends on you tbh and how you’re going to drive your car. If money isn’t really a issue then honestly buy a older gen zl1 like you said. All you gotta check for mostly is mileage, maintenance, and cosmetics

[@PittiesAndMore]
