OK as many may already know I had black SS on order with everything... as in my SIG, now I know I cant get this car and I was going to switch to an 06' order

then poof GM offers Employee prcing on all 2005 models now my 25,650 dollar car is almost under 23k.... hmm

so i found a red with G85 an hour away from me and I'm debating just buying it even though I wanted black

basically I save almost 3k for taking a diff color its fully loaded otherwise

So pay the extra 3k in 06' or take the red 05' now

 

Take the lower price and the red car, black is so hard to keep clean anyway ;p

 

bro the red looks amazing i got my red SS and its great the red is an awsoem colour you wont be disapointed i can tell you that

 

I would jump on it: I've had black (including a triple black Camaro SS) and red (currently Precision Red with Cobalt Red interior C6) and both need the California Car Duster on a regular basis as well as frequent washings. My black G85 is on the truck but if the Precision Red did not so violently clash with the Victory Red, I would have gone for a red G85. -- laborsmith
And saving $3000 is not to be laughed at. -- laborsmith

 

that is nice savings...but black is soooo nice lol

 

To hell with the color!! If you found an 05 with G85, GRAB IT!!!!!!!
It will be a rare car and believe me, you won't be dissapointed.
Go for it.

 

I say stick with the black car. Nobody wants the G85 package anyway.

Can you give me directions to the dealer that has the red SS with G85

 

Since I understand there aren't many 2005's with G85, I'd go ahead and get it. If you want the package anyways, might as well get the '05 and have a rare and unique car. Just something else to add to your resale value besides the low miles you'll be starting out with (2005 is half over, you'd already have 4k miles less on your '05 than I have on mine ).

 

Black is the worst color you could choose for a car. Red is hot, and is faster lol. Go for it dude. I want silver soooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly, but I think NJ hates the color silver, so there arent any in my state. I may get red, my second choice, just because this deal is to good to pass up. You have to go for it. Nothing wrong with red

 

I would probably take it as well. The only G85 within driving distance to me was a crappy silver one. A silver SS is the last color in the entire world I would want that car to be. I would take Red.. Blue.. Black.. Yellow.. or even Sunburst Orange.. but Silver is ugly(no offense to anyone who actually got a silver one).

Look at the money you're saving. People on this board is claiming the 2006 price is going up 1 or 2% for 2006 as well. Don't let GM screw you with the 2006. They couldn't deliver in 2005.. then they want to raise the price and double screw in 2006.

 

What is the G85 package? is the sunroof

 

silver is prob one of the best colors. you can not wash your car for weeks and it still looks clean, it hides dirt, hides scratches. Silver is by far the easiest color to keep looking good, and it doesnt fade as quickly as other colors. Black, disgusting..hard to keep clean, looks like death after 1 week, orange kinda looks like throw up lol, red is nice, but sticks out like sore thumb for cops, blue isn't too bad, but the inserts look like aqua to me, yellow looks like ur driving a banana. but thats mine opinion, to each his own.

 

Heres an update... I decided to think about it last night before I took my deposit for my 06' and bought this one, then of course the dealer who has the Red one called me this morning and said someone put a deposit down. DAMN IT, I decided I was gonna get it too. Well anyways he said he will call em on Sat becuase the person has to decide by then and he doesnt think its going to go through so I'll cross my fingers that they have horrible credit and stuff...lol

So basically I decided Black paint wasnt worth almost 3k

 

this is too funny! That is MY CAR! LOL

Dont worry it will go thru we are just haggling on trade price and I need to decide which car to trade...if by the force of avaris it falls thru which is unlikely I will email you

 

It is funny what are the odds right? yeah he sounded like he wasnt positive that you were gonna get it at all, but in a way I'm happy becuase you saved me from egtting red I still really wanted balck but I coulnt pass the deal up. Now if there is no deal to pass up I will just egt the black

 

I'd wait for the 06 at this point...got mine in march.

 

who was your salesman?
It would make sense that they would say that until they have it off the lot...
I just missed out on a black one in LI they sold that last week, bet the owner of that car is slightly pissed, lol no GMS for him....

 

Yeah, but I can tell you what's going to happen.

1.) GM will revoke all the nice rebates and discounts for the '06 SS's.

2.) They will raise the MSRP price in general for 2006.

In the end.. any of us who got screwed and have to get an '06 will end up paying nearly $3000 more than we need to with increased prices and no rebates. They really want to shove it in our corn holes.

 

I can't argue any of those points. But, Silver is in my opinion one of the ugliest car colors ever. Not to mention, probably half of the people who drive newer civic's drive silver ones. I see silver cars everywhere. I want something that is somewhat unique AND looks good! hehe I'd take almost any color over silver.

you say you see silver everywhere??? how about black?? and now with the SS's, everyone has Red. No one, except one guy i think has silver. I dont care if everyone civic made was silver. silver seems to be a hard color to come by now with the SS. If you dont like it, you dont like it, your opinion

 

To far.... unless I take a boat..lol... I have my 06' ordered and my dealer is givin my order the first allocation he gets so I'm happy with that. As for paying MSRP

Wont be GMS but what ya gonna do

How can you order an '06 without any pricing information? This doesn't make sense to me. You ordered a car and you don't know how much you're going to pay for it?

 

I know it wont change much and if it does i haggle them down or I dont take the car... they ahve to give your deposit back.... so its a win win for me

 

i agree with that!
