SS Sport Sedan

Hi Guys,
Thinking of buying a 2017 Chevy SS (Sport Sedan). The dealer has one that I'm interested in. Is there any way to find out if the dealer ordered it when GM had the 20% off sale a few months ago? Just trying to figure out what my opening offer should be.

I'm keeping the Camaro going to replace my GTI.

Thanks!

the 20% off special has nothing to do with when the car was ordered.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Was the 20% offered from GM back to the purchaser or something like that? Not to or through when the dealer ordered it?

It looks like the Impala but has the LS3 in it.

It's a awesome car my wife has one and she loves it. The car has 415 hp and 415tq and handles better then my Camaro imo. If you don't like people coming up to you at gas stations or talking to you at stop lights asking about the car it's not the car for you.

If the car was sold as new, off the lot, during the period the offer from GM was in effect GM paid (credited) the dealer.

GM does this to help the dealers clear old inventory and make room for new models.

Kind of like vacuuming the old spider webs in the basement, so new ones can be built. Or washing your car when you know it is going to rain tomorrow.

I got $1500 off my Camaro because my ex owned a Pontiac. It had to be in the time frame, and it had to be a car off the lot. My salesman found mine at another dealer ~50 miles away and had it brought in so it all met the criteria.

He told me they traded a pickup truck for it. So win/win.

I bought my last 2 trucks with programs like it. Great deal if your timing is right.

That makes sense. Thanks!
Drove it the other day. Drives beautifully. A shame it will not be replaced.

+1
Last week while I was working a deal to trade my '13 ZL1 for a '17, I got a private offer in the mail with $3k off 2017 Camaros. That sealed the deal.

Don't think about it too long, they will be gone. If your into modding, the car mods very easy. Mine is a 14, and with intake, tune and a little exhaust work it puts down 390/395 through an A6 trans and handles great. I drive it much more than the ZL1, it's that good.
