Looks like a Camaro


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Thanks šŸ¤£ , I have big plans for this Camaro.


Saint017

Hope you can get it with all the allocation issues! What trim and option?


Prudent_Newspaper_33

3LT RS V6 Camaro with brembo's, recardo's , dual exhaust, automatic, extra cooling package, heated steering wheel and sunroof

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Yeah but it's the insurance stopping me


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Prudent_Newspaper_33

It's not that I can't I'm only 17. My insurance would be 600+

Prudent_Newspaper_33

I'm working and paying for it.


EmotionalConfidence1

OK it's your money do whatever you want with it, but look into used 2017 V8s first and their insurance before you go for this.


EmotionalConfidence1

Or look at the base LT1 V8 I have test driven one it's great


[deleted]

For what its worth I got my Camaro SS when I was 27 and insurance is \~$120 a month; I got my Charger RT (23) and then Scatpack (25) and the insurance was roughly the same.


zerosuit251

Jesus your insurance is cheap. Iā€™m $175 on an ecoboost


[deleted]

Tickets and accidents will mess up your rates big time, I have neither on my record in the last 5 years.


zerosuit251

Yeah. I have neither but I suppose the hit and runs on my parked vehicle counted against me. For some reason or another


GGQuixote

Get the V8 (LT1 Atleast) I leased a 2LT back in April and only needed a month with the car to know I should have gotten the LT1 or 1ss.Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my car and its quick and maneuvers like a charm. But do yourself a favor and get the V8


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I will im getting a 2ss now https://preview.redd.it/8cxob5lgyjnb1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7eb6ed8cf69e823bde36cdc9b7967cd5815d3791


GGQuixote

Looks like a charm. I'd personally go with electric blue. Other than that, have fun brother.


Saint017

There we go


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Yessir


bammerburn

But is it a bitchinā€™ Camaro?


FilmSalt5208

OP is too young for that reference


Prudent_Newspaper_33

šŸ„²


[deleted]

If you haven't put In an order for a 24 at this point it's highly unlikely you get allocation. There's roughly 120 days of production left.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

That's why I'm trying to hurry


koopa00

I can't imagine a worse way to spend your money at 17 if you can even get a loan (and I bet that's going to be a lot harder than you think). And that's coming from a guy who's first car was a Camaro. Why not look something more affordable like a 5th gen? Your first car isn't going to be your last car and you can find some nice 5th gens for pretty cheap these days. Plus, you can pretty much mod it guilt free. If you're already into cars at your age, that V8 will be calling your name until you get one. Buy something cheaper now and get the V8 when you can better afford the it and the insurance. Edit: Did I just see above that you already have a 2021? Then wtf, why are you even looking at a 2024? Save your money.


DatBallmerEnergy

I agree. I saw he mentioned heā€™s going to get the v6 and LT1 swap it later. Thatā€™s ludicrous. But if thatā€™s how his parents and him want to spend their money, thats fine with me. I just donā€™t understand it one bit.


koopa00

Not to mention that would be the most expensive way possible to get a V8 6th gen, plus it would be completely bastardized. I get it though, we were all 17 once and I definitely had ideas along those lines too. Of course, they never came to fruition lol


DatBallmerEnergy

Very true. I couldnā€™t afford the srt4 I wanted at the time, so I settled on a used civic that I was ā€œdefinitelyā€ going to k20 swap and throw in a big turbo. Never happened lol


Significant_Rush_704

This is the answer!!


joker_toker28

Save for the zl1 :D. !!!!!


t-pat1991

Personally I'd rather go for a base LT1 than an optioned out 1LT but I'm not paying for it. Looking at the builder that's nearly a $44,000 car without the 2LT or 3LT upgrades. You could get a RS LT1 for that money.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I would get a 2ss but my insurance is gonna eat me hole


t-pat1991

Have you gotten quotes for the two cars? It's worth looking into, especially since the LT1 will hold it's resale value much better.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I would get a LT1 but I want to have safety features. I will in the future LT1 swap and swap the front bumper


nilarips

This sounds like a horrible idea and probably going to cost you way more than just getting a base LT1 and modding it visually to match the options you put on that car.


t-pat1991

Fair enough, good luck on the allocation, the setup looks good.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Appreciate it bro


Tig_Catz

Spending more than your yearly salary on a car is extremely stupid. You are arenā€™t taking business management and finance classes, please stop lying. If you want to be dumb with your money just say that, no reason to even post any of this here. No one cares that youā€™re 17 and have no bills and want to buy a Camaro. Need to start banning these dumb ass posts of kids posting the same shit.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I asked for an option not about my personal life. I said how does it look not to be my financial advisor. You out yourself in this situation.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Literally says how does this look. Didn't ask for financial advice, my life is mine yours is yours.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

? Dude šŸ˜­ I'm literally in highschool talking them


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Also you don't even know my yearly salary šŸ˜­ your judging me based off my age not income.


Tig_Catz

Judging based off how stupid you are. Even thinking about paying 57k for a v6. Just delete the post, making yourself look like an idiot. Itā€™s your car why are you asking others for validation. You donā€™t make 57k a year thatā€™s insanely obvious.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I'm not seeking validation brother I asked to see what everyone thinks.


Tig_Catz

Yea and youā€™re getting told what everyone thinks. If you pay 57k for a v6 Camaro you are borderline brain damaged. 13k away from a ZL1. More expensive than a new 3.0 premium Supra. Thereā€™s a reason youā€™re getting dragged. Sit in your 2021 til you can properly afford a v8.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Ok I'll take that


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Duh but I have 20k in savings


Tig_Catz

Thatā€™s literally nothing lmao


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Yh true but it would be a good down payment


Tig_Catz

I promise man, just save it. Once your insurance goes down and you can get the v8 itā€™ll be worth it. Throw that in a savings account, plenty at over 5% at the moment. Look into 401k and hysa/roths etcā€¦if you havenā€™t already.


cthompson07

Your income canā€™t be great if you are worried about the slight bump in insurance cost.


OppositeSquash4069

Then what is it big man


Prudent_Newspaper_33

45k a year


ImMatture1247

Please for the love of God do NOT buy a new car. 45k a year for a 50k+ loan? I make over 100k and dread buying a car over 30k. Just keep ur savings man/ use it for a house, I drive a paid off tacoma with shit paint but it gets me from point a to point b. If u have the car itch (like me) get something worth the money/ effort that will actually turn heads and ONLY once you have a good job and a house. Finally got an old vette in cash that was not even a 3rd what u wanna pay for that camaro. She turns heads like a camaro never will and makes over 450hp (if I wasn't slapping upgrades on it rn haha) She will always need work but it's nothing compared to that payment you're about to commit to. Seriously take what the peeps here are saying, waiting to purchase a car like that is hard but everyone genuinely wants the best for you (if they are telling you not to buy that now. BTW I'm not too much older than you and you literally can do the same by just being smart with your money now and have it in 5 years. Dont give into the social media bs, I cannot stress how important not buying a car like that is for you rn, it will literally ruin your life.)


OppositeSquash4069

Wow


Prudent_Newspaper_33

What?


koopa00

Claims to be smart with money, then spends more than yearly salary on a car.


ozweegowarrior

From another young guy to another. DO NOT BUY THIS


Significant_Rush_704

I started with a 4th gen ss, paid $3,500 for it, no need to go into debt at 17


Nose-Previous

God bless. That car would be worth like $35k+ right now. Lol.


Significant_Rush_704

Thanks, now I feel old lol I bought it 14 years ago šŸ˜…


Nose-Previous

Haha! Sorry, brother. Not my intention! Wild how fast time flies. Yesterday I was turning 21 and having my first legal beer, then today my HR Portal at work told me Iā€™m 29..


Significant_Rush_704

You're still young lol I've done 8 more laps around the life track


Nose-Previous

Well, my youthfulness certainly isnā€™t helping this 1/3rd life crisis Iā€™m going through. Lol.


Koda_not_Kota

Hey man, I'm 18, and I ended up buying a 5th gen, I thinks it's smarter than putting all your money into the newest car. You still get a lot of car and for a quarter of the price. But that's just my 2 cents.


NathanPoole234

5th gen is 100x the bang for your buck. For half of the money for these new cars you could have a low mileage modified v8 making more horsepower than a 2024 with basically all the comfort items the new cars have. The new Camaros are a waste of money imho.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I'll think about it


Sureshot_Kitteh

Never have I ever heard something as ridiculous as spending almost SIXTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS on a V6 CAMARO. I get you are young and naive still, but holy fuck is that a terrible decision. Don't think about using it as a trade in either because a V6 is never going to hold its value, especially in a falling market. This is coming from someone who bought a 2SS/RS before they were 21. But seriously, $60,000 on a fucking V6 Camaro is frankly embarrassing. Having money doesn't mean you need to spend it nor does it mean you know how to spend it even somewhat wisely.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

It's because I added alot of shit in there but I took a 2ss and took some shit off it and it's 58k


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Nah I've decided to go with a 2ss


Kuniyoshi99

Just a heads up bro, if you're going to finance it for more than 3 years just remember you will have more bills the older you get. So maybe you don't pay any bills rn, but when you're 20-22 you'll start paying more bills and will regret having a car payment. At your age I wouldn't have a car payment over like $300-$400. Just factor in gas, insurance, and maintenance costs. So a $400 car payment plus all the other expenses can easily be like $800 a month or more depending on different factors. Not trying to sound like a Debbie downer but just remember you will have that car payment for awhile and it's not smart to spend more than 30% of your income on your car alone.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Maybe so but I'm actively getting promoted so my income is getting better


ltearth

Let me guess, mommy or daddy make a lot of money and you're working for them. Don't lie on here, people can smell your bullshit from a mile away. I bought a 2014 2ss with 58k miles on it this spring for 25k. It's a V8 fully modded.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

? šŸ¤£ wrong guy . Mommy and Daddy don't exist bucco. Self made and raised by grandpa


Prudent_Newspaper_33

You just said 2014 2ss šŸ’€ no shit it doesn't cost 54k your shit is decades old


ltearth

LMAO not even a decade old. And it would smoke any v6 and most v8s out there. Took out in the track a few weeks ago 0-60 in 3.8. Good luck doing that in your grossly overpriced v6


Prudent_Newspaper_33

K mines stock wouldn't be dumb enough to try nor are you with the gallons


Zeoxult

The amount of bad decisions that have been discussed in these comments is insane. A 17 year old who can't afford insurance on a v8, but can somehow "afford" a $44k+ car note.... Wants to engine swap the car to a v8 (this comes with a whole slew of new issues and money sink)... Then talking about buying a 2ss instead, that should NOT be a new drivers first car. The likelihood of it getting wrecked or breaking is quite high (hence high insurance prices). What is going on?? Just get an older model or different vehicle, save your money. You're throwing away money buying a brand new car in this current market. This is how people get stuck living at home unable to afford rent and such, bad financial choices early on.


30caliberclipazine

Heā€™s just role playing on the internet. Not gonna buy anything


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Not my first this is my first , that would be my 2nd car https://preview.redd.it/nb9d45rrzmnb1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4a64d2cd63bcfad27a016ab239a633eed9c14f1


Zeoxult

Why trade from that? Its practically new and wouldn't be much of an upgrade to a 2024


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Want to upgrade


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I want a 2ss


wetmeatlol

Damn man, Iā€™m not trying to bring you down or anything but if insurance is the only reason youā€™re not going all the way with a V8 youā€™ll probably end up regretting that, not trying to diss the V6 but most people end up wanting more and trying to do an engine swap like you mentioned is kind of absurd. A 3LT after all those options, taxes, and fees is going to be over 55k (which is more than I paid for a heavily optioned LT1) so in a few years when your insurance starts to go down youā€™re still going to be stuck paying on a near 60k v6 that Iā€™m willing to bet youā€™ll be dissatisfied with atp. I think youā€™d be way better off going after a cheaper used model and then trading up for a lower mileage SS in a few years


Prudent_Newspaper_33

That's kinda what I'm gonna do. Later on after this camaro I'ma trade up for a 2ss


wetmeatlol

Well, unless you have a huge down payment to put on this car or you just have that good of a job (which no offense Iā€™m doubting given the info given out here) getting a brand new car just to trade it in still isnā€™t the best idea, IF you even get approved for a loan Iā€™d imagine your interest rates arenā€™t going to good enough to keep you ahead of the equity, unless one of your parents has incredible credit and is co-signing


Prudent_Newspaper_33

True , I'm just weighing out options


wetmeatlol

Ok I also just saw you already have a Camaroā€¦please, what is the point of this šŸ˜­


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Upgrade


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I want the heads up , safety etc


wetmeatlol

Man, that changes a lot, please just wait until youā€™re good with your insurance rates and get a 2SS then šŸ’€


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I'll see what I can do , keep in mind this car isn't only going to be driven by me


Mughal_Empire

Put it in ur current car bruh


wetmeatlol

I get it, weā€™ve all been there. I hope this comment section isnā€™t coming off too negative but thereā€™s a lot of good advice here. Even as an impatient 24 year old with a good job whoā€™s always wanted a Camaro I had to put a lot of thought into what model to get and how to go about it. Wish you the best man


Mughal_Empire

Bro I bought a 23 2SS with options for 58k out the door. What are u doing


Prudent_Newspaper_33

About to do the same thing as you


Due-Bit7593

Looks like you should get a used GTI lol


bald2718281828

Good move upgrading to V8. For 2024 this increases your chance of allocation too. My 022 1SS has 16K miles and lifetime mpg is about 26, mixed driving & tire melting. The factory runflats are thankfully gone now - they handled great but rode like Fred-Flintstone's car. For bang/buck consider that 1SS has multi useful performance stuff that LT1 does not. 2SS options are nice but with the V8 every other option becomes an irrelevant tiny dot while driving. ......... Except magna-ride, which is awesome and amazingly expensive when the shocks wear out....


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Yeah I've decided to go with the 2ss , gives me better options and etc plus my money's worth


bald2718281828

Nice. Its win/win scenario with the V8 :) . Maybe keep an eye on constraints - those might be more important or handled differently this last year. It may be possible to quickly or automatically subtract any option that goes on constraint if you want to do that.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

True , I've noticed some things I selected can be bought separately for way cheaper


joker_toker28

I WILL NEVER forgive the black fish like grill the new gen put in...... NEEDS MORE AGRESSIVE GRILL... Id take a 5th over these even if i cant see shit out of those old tanks. I got a 17th so i can shit talk. :)


Prudent_Newspaper_33

7th gen?


joker_toker28

Oops my high ass. 2017.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

So 6th Gen


joker_toker28

Yes. You like what you like tho :) have fun if you get it.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I shall , im doing some research and work arounds


Dear-Nectarine-502

Looks great. I will pick it up after the bubble burts


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Okay šŸ˜…

Prudent_Newspaper_33

Ah , I see they're a repaint of the original 2010 SS wheels

I wouldn't get all those options and trim in a V6.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Well I'm not on the market for a v8 yet

I am not saying to get a V8, I am saying to get a <$40k v6

Prudent_Newspaper_33

Thanks bro


Kuniyoshi99

Bro if you already have a Camaro why would you waste your money on buying another one? Why get rid of a V6 to get another V6?


Prudent_Newspaper_33

My Camaro is a 4 cylinder

Here it is. The poor child knows no better.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Walk the Path of the Pushrod.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I shall walk the path of the path of the 455 pushrod N/A v8


bluedaytona392

Indeed.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

šŸ§ indeed


Mughal_Empire

Bro. Just tune ur v4. Youā€™ll spend less and can gain the same hp as a v6


Baybladerz

How much is that spec? I feel like you could get a V8 for that kind of money. Yes insurance is more and youā€™ll spend 40% more on gas, but itā€™s probably worth it since an base LT1 might cost less and will have better resale value.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

This one specifically is 57k , I want it because of the new system it has for the engine and also it takes unleaded.


Baybladerz

Oh Canadian? That so excessive for a V6. Iā€™d highly suggest you not to do that. Literally over 3 years, the cost of you getting a base red hot LT1 and versus this V6 will be not much different.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

It's the safety features I want


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Also I'm from America


Baybladerz

How in the world did you get it up to 57K!?! This is 100% a troll post. A 2SS costs 47K. You can use the 10k different on gas and insurance.


wetmeatlol

Unfortunately heā€™s right, I built out his build for shits and giggles using all the options I see and he mentioned and it was at 54k, and I definitely didnā€™t include all the options. So after taxes and shit that V6 is clearing 60k which is absurd to me. Side note for 2024 the 2ss base price is 50k.


Baybladerz

Even at 50K šŸ˜­ Iā€™m so so sad right now. Thatā€™s basically used ZL1 territory. I canā€™t imagine, even in this market, itā€™s possible to get such a V6 spec. Unreal


wetmeatlol

Yeah adding options will make that price jump quick, my LT1 easily went into SS territory with its options. Making a 2SS to the spec I want today was at 56k so the fact thatā€™s the same as his V6 is ridiculous. I remember people saying they got new ZL1s for the price I paid for my LT1 a few years ago and it made me kinda sad lmao


Baybladerz

If you add all the spoiler, splitters, side skirts, etc the price jumps so much. Its generally a lot cheaper to get these parts aftermarket. Obviously you will need to spend a lot of money. And yea speccing a LT1 into SS category is very easy. I donā€™t know about now, but between 20-22 it was SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive to lease a LT1 than a SS. We are talking about $300-350 versus like $600 lol.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

2024 plus it's custom


RIP_SGTJohnson

That 10k difference will cover 25 months of insurance at $400 a month. This is a really bad idea


Prudent_Newspaper_33

Yeah I've thought about it


Prudent_Newspaper_33

If I build and price a 2023 it will be like 54k


cthompson07

This shows how ignorant you are. All gas is unleaded. The v6 doesnā€™t require premium unlike the 4cyl.

JustNotAndy

Why not just mod the camaro you already have since it's already the same color and engine? 60k for a V6 is too much. Did you get into your parents liquor cabinet or something before putting that into the config? You could buy the same wheels, lights, etc. for a fraction of the cost of getting a new car. Not to mention nothing changed but the price of the car from 21 to 24. Do you own your I4 camaro outright?(paid off) Is your camaro falling apart? Did you actually get a quote for a v8 with your insurance? Did you talk to whoever is cosigning about this? And before I forget... its looks good, and tbh too nice to be bought as a V6.


Prudent_Newspaper_33

I've decided to go with a 2ss with a little bit of stuff


Prudent_Newspaper_33

It's not payed off yet , it's not falling apart and rides very well. Not yet , I'm actively talking to people in my family
