Decision Time ?!?!?!?!
I was just offered a 2008 LS3 Corvette with low miles on it, a Corsa Exhaust and Cold Air Intake...It is in Mint shape, and I could have it for 33k plus tax only. It is a Z51 with 20k miles.
Should I wait for the Camaro to show up? I will still be a Camaro Lover and building and selling parts for the Camaro, but I need the Project Car for this company, and who knows when my car will finally make it out of QC?? I really need your help making this decision...and in convincing my wife!! My SS would cost 35380 plus taxes and fees  The Vette would be 33000 plus tax only. If I wait I have to buy something by the 25th or my financing runs out!! |

The Camaro will make you a rock star.
Vettes I see them all the time and so does eveybody else. Just my 2 cents. |

If you absoulutely know you will not regret getting the Vette over the Camaro then go for it. If you have any doubt, then you know what to do. The worst thing that can happen(and it's happened to me) is buying a car that you think will satisfy you and then come to find out not long after the purchase you get that sick feeling in your stomach that you bought the wrong car.

A lot more mod folks will be buying Camaro's. Not as many serious Vette mods happening. IMO

I would still take the Camaro as my first choice. The big problem is that I doubt it will show up before my financing window closes...Not to mention I have lost my sponsors now because the car has been delayed so much. I just do not know how much longer I can wait around and hope it gets here by the 25th! |

Just open another financing window. Cancel what you've got and redo another or is there a lot of red tape involved?

20,000 miles in one year is a lot.
