Does anyone have any info/rumors about when the 2009 SS COUPEs are going to be available. We are nearing the end of our purchasing decision as a family (Car for me) but my folks are tripping out on the fact that we are going to be buying an 08 so late in the year. If its only going to be a few months, I would rather wait and drp a few extra dollars to have a 09 coupe.

Any info appreciate.

you will get better incentives buying an 08 than an 09. You can order an 09 and get it in a couple months but there aren't any major changes, just bluetooth, RPD and no spare tire

 

Should start showing up in dealers in Sept according to 2 dealers here in Ohio. I bought the 08 with incentives.

 

NO SPARE TIRE REALLY???? WTF

 

uh you sure about the spare? pretty sure regulations require one do they not?

 

I heard of no spare if they just put run flats on. Like the toyota mini van had this, run flats. The owners were pissed when they found out after they had to pay like $1000 to replace tires. HAHA

 

No spare tire, just a tire sealant and inflator kit. And I also forgot to add the USB port on the radio.

 

No spare tire? Really?

 

It is an option($85-$100), ZAH: Spare Tire and Wheel.

And in this country spares aren't required. The Corvette doesn't have a spare. Neither did the Grand Prix Gxp's.

 

^ Nor does the Solstice/Sky....

Well at least it's an option... Haha wow GM is really getting on the nickel and dime game huh? I guess desperate times call for desperate measures...

 

who needs all that weight anyways!

 

I mean I been driving since winter w/o a spare in my 220,000 mile car... I got AAA gold, I'm all set.

 

I ordered the spare. It's $63 bucks.

 

thanks for input people!

 

I ordered mine with the spare but am taking it out and going to buy the inflator kit for around here and use the spare if I go on a trip.

 

inflator kits ruin the rim and gook it up. nasty stuff! get AAA lol

 

Don't need AAA...GM warranty and 24/7 assistance...

 

i just found out that mine wont be here for 4-6 weeks from now. i am thinking of just getting a 08, since they just put 2000 dollar rebate in my region.

 

My car=no spare either. No rules or regs as to weather you get one or not.

 

Do it! Not only do you get the rebates, but you also avoid the price increase on '09's!

For those reasons alone, I am very glad I got an 08.

 

My family just gave the final word and we are going this friday (August 1st) to put a down payment/order (we have to dealer trade around Michigan cuz my local dealer has none). The one question my mom had for me was the follow;

This September or whenever, which is only like a month away dee dee dee, when the 09 coupes become available, will there be any rebates/incentives on them initially. Because if I can get an 09 for only like 1500 more, then that is worth it because of depreciation on a "new" 2008 coupe. I am assuming there wouldn't be any 1500-2000$ cash back on the brand spanking new 2009 SS coupes this early fall?

 

you are correct my friend. there prolly wont be until at least December.

 

I doubt there will be a rebate on the cars right away. Honestly Im surprised there is one on the 08s. At least here in Ohio they are sold within a week or 10 days of arriving at the dealer. Its not as if they are sitting on the lots for months.

I took the rebate and got an 08 SS. The different display wasnt worth it to me.

 

that's the same thing i said. not worth it, you can just get Aeroforce gauges!

 

Yeah, I wasn't worried about it, I am all set for getting an 08. I don't care about that new display. It was mainly my mother, who is helping me out with the car who had the concerns, mainly about incentives and depreciation. I told her that these 08s just recently became available over the past few months and are late model releases. Thanks for the uber fast responses miller and company !
