2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS — cPO luxury SUV or brand-new mainstream SUV?

Budget works for either a lightly used luxury SUV or a new mainstream model with a full warranty. I'm more worried about three-to-five-year ownership cost and service downtime than the purchase price. How would you compare them? I'm in Upstate New York. If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro price probably got worse. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: A written buyer’s order on the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. On “cpo luxury suv or brand-new mainstream suv,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. That's my plan before I call anyone.

OP update: I got two written quotes on the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and the out-the-door gap is bigger than the ads made it look. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
