So the deal is...I am not buying a 1SS. If I get a Camaro, I want it to be the 2SS, because I want options. By the time I'm done with it, the price is going to be near $50k, and that's before taxes/title/dealership fees. I really doubt I can justify/convince myself to spend $55k on a car right now.
But...if I can get something for around $34k...that puts me around $37k after taxes/title/fees...which I just might be able to do. So I'm trying to find something enjoyable that won't cost me my sanity.  My wife doesn't care...as I always ensure my family comes first and is taken care of...but I just am not sure I'd be able to live with myself knowing I spent $55k on a car that will depreciate 20% in the first 2 years. That's $10k down the drain in 2 years...at a minimum. |
As a family man, I know how you feel about spending money on a luxury item. It never makes good financial sense to buy a new car but it is only money. As long as your priorities are in line and you can afford it then why not really. My struggle is I do not want to spend more than $40k so I Really need to stick with a 1SS with MRC and NPP as the only options. I actually think that is the best value setup since you get like 98% of the Camaro experience while staying away from that $50k mark. If leather is critical then I can add aftermarket for about 800-$1000 down the road. Best of luck with your decision.
