How much I PAY for my 2018 CAMARO ZL1

I am in no way a financial advisor and any decision to purchase a new car is solely up to you. I just want to share how much I pay for MY own car.

Thanks dude!! I saw you just picked up a ss 1le, very nice! Subbed and looking forward to seeing more of that 👊

I got my zl1 two days ago. 22k miles ,2017 for 52990. Beautiful cars. Went from a civic type r to the zl1. Completely different beasts.

I have a 2019 zl1 and I pay $560 payment a month. I paid 58k for the car. It was used with 2700mi on it. I got it in 2019 and I had a big down payment. And the original owner got the carbon fiber package inside and the sun roof. I was told he was a 70yr old man that had a hard time getting in and out of the car, so he traded it in.

[@Z06Bev]

[@Drumbeat52]

Took a 2014 Camaro with low miles, added a Razzi body kit, carbon fiber Viper hood painted (Black Car), Lz1 front end with LED headlights, rear spoiler, rear LED Tail lights and side spoilers. Total cost $24,000.00. Everyone thinks it is an LZ1 2018 or 2019. Get the same perception for a lot less money and upfront depreciation was eaten by someone else. Like your car also, but not the cost.

I here you! Been looking all over the place. I was told by a buddy that works at a dealership to buy new, if at all possible. Told not to give in to the used market right now. Easier said than done.

[@tommybrumfield3052]

@@KobaltGrizzly it’s the worst time in history to buy a used car. Especially a premium sports car like these. Give it a year if you can. You could save 10k or so assuming they drop back down. These cars were in the mid 40s at one point a year and a half ago. It’s hard to believe now. It’s anyone’s guess though when the market will go back down. New makes sense if there isn’t a markup. Longer warranty, lower interest rate, hasn’t been beat one by someone else and probably not too far off from the used ones in price. Good luck in your search! I will be playing the waiting game 😆

Bruh, $866 a month at 4% apr is $64,000.. and then the $6k equity is $70,000 for a “$58k” car

[@godrive6902]

Yes and no, that would assume not paying it off sooner than the life of the loan. Although this actually would’ve been a good topic to add in explaining why I’m paying the car off sooner. financing a car is the same as a house, if I actually waited to pay my house off I’d end up paying double it’s worth due to interest. Very good topic to bring up

[@Cyberronnin]

Hey bro if I can make a recommendation, I went cheap on my SS and did a muffler delete and went straight pipe , performance wise I lost back pressure that effected low end torque and the sound was rather raspy and loud but had no harmony in the tone ... I would recommend trying Corsa or AWE axel backs , I have corsa right now , you still get a loud race car pitch on throttle and a mid tone throaty sound and the low end , the corsa also looks nice and shines underneath the car for a modified look .. I’m telling you I spent around $1,700 on cheap exhaust mods and mufflers before biting the bullet and going with corsa

thats honestly a really good point! i've just been dying to get this thing louder, its so quiet inside the cabin. I'll take a second look into getting a good exhaust over the muffler delete. thanks for watching!!

So I actually was previously working full time retail, full time school, with a couple of side streams of income. Now I’m starting up printing to help boost more passive income. Once that starts becoming steady the next step is buying a condo to start renting out. It’s very important to always try to have multiple streams of income!

With 30k down I was able to bring my monthly payment to 433 I think. My interest was like 3.2 with a loan over 82 months. But I’m thinking I’ll sell the car before I pay it off.

I wish that one would’ve worked out because my interest rate would’ve been even lower. I would’ve put more down but that money is being reinvested into more income instead. Down payments seem to be the big topic people don’t realize. If you aren’t putting a huge down payment like you did, it just isn’t going to affect your monthly as much.
