Neiman Marcus Camaro

[Johnny Horsepower]

I searched, and did not see much on this subject, but I am looking for opinions on the limited edition convertible NM edition Camaro.
This is a client of mine, who wants to get one.
Positives, negatives.
Is it going to be collectible?
Should he mothball it? Drive it a little?

Any opinions, would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

$75,000 for a Camaro Convertible? Sounds like they are charging $30,000 for the trick paint. Less money buys a 2011 Corvette.

That's why they are better known as Needless Markup.

Hmmmm, let's see...
Yenko
Baldwin-Motion
Nickey
Dana
Neiman Marcus.....nope, i'm just not feelin' it.

Someone posted that they are already all sold out. Sold in 3 minutes I believe.

NM = Needless Markup! Good one,<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

You're paying for a name that's not really synonymous with blue collar Chevrolet or the Camaro in any way,shape or form.
He's probably better off waiting and can pick one up for less then 1/2 that selling price,a few years from now when speculators are forced to list them on Autotrader.

Yep, the Neiman Marcus Camaro sold out in just 3 minutes at $75,000 a pop. Personally I think it is a nice looking color combo, is it worth more than another probably but not by that kind of money. I do expect that when the ragtops come out they will be going well above list at most dealers for a while before coming down to the regular prices. A base ragtop is supposed to be around 30k and then add for all those really cool options that everyone will want to order on theirs.

Could the NM Camaros have been bought by NM stores from the corporate office? Are we sure it was the public that bought the cars that quickly?

According to GM the cars were all sold through telephone reservations.

The only one impressed with a NM car would have to be a girl and if its a girl, it better come with the NM credit card too!!

Thanks guys, your responses are as expected.

Yes, they sold out to the public in 3 minutes, my friend got one.
Needless Markup..........oldie but a goodie!
Yenko, berger etc. no.....however .....Tom Mcann, Kellogs and other giveaways..Levi, pierre cardin, and other interesting pairings with muscle cars....???
cool color combo and interior, that you cannot have done from the factory.

Desireability and limited documented number (rarity).....may mean something.

He thinks its very cool, already has a hardtop and plans to enjoy it.
and good for him.

Thanks again!

Nice looking car nonetheless! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Agreed, pretty car, but I think I'd rather have one of the pearl Orange with white stripe 'verts like the prototype.

I'd drive it. Maybe not daily, but I wouldn't hesitate to have some fun. It's too hard to determine what's going to be valuable in 20-30 years.

Nice. Good Will Hunting! Touche

Sorry but that car does not appeal to me. I am a die hard Camaro guy, but that is something else. I want to like the 5th gens, but love shouldn't be that much work! perhaps when they make a Z28 they wil get my attention. Until then it's first Gen all the way. Think of what kind of a 1st Gen car you can build or buy for 75K. There I said it. I feel better now. was it good for you too? Got a smoke?

I like you.

Keep telling yourself that!!! LOL! Also the less he drives it, he might get his money back on the car with NO miles on it!
Its better then buying any other car at the dealership,will agree with that! How about a episode on your show could raise the value..... Good Luck Johnny...
