Congrats on the vert. When your weather gets better you will love the top down experience. You may want to pm your VIN to one of the Chevrolet customer service reps here on this forum to check on any outstanding tsb's. Good luck.

Congratulations on your new 2SS 'vert.
Did you receive the full, new vehicle warranty with your Camaro? Any idea of how or why the 220 miles were put on it? Was it transferred between dealers a few times (the window / Monroney sticker will have the dealer name to whom your Camaro was originally shipped new from the factory), or was it a GM / Chevy "show car" or something similar? The reason I ask is because when I purchased my Saturn SKY Redline back in 2009, it had 300 miles on it and was used by GM as a "show" car where it was driven by GM execs from the dealership to the convention center and around town for a month. When I purchased it, the dealership told me I'd receive the "balance" / remainder of the bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranty as they told me the vehicle had been "put into service" a year ago - meaning that the vehicle was entered into GM's system when it was serviced after it had been driven. I was able to get the dealer and GM / Saturn to honor the full GM new-vehicle warranty from the time I purchased the vehicle rather than when the dealership "put the vehicle into service), as it was previously untitled and also not used as a dealer "demo". If you're the first titled owner of the vehicle, then you should receive the full new-vehicle warrantly. That's a situation you may want to investigate immediately if you're not 100% certain about. Just an FYI in relating my experience when having purchased a new GM vehicle. The 5th Gen. 'vert is a terrific car. I hope you enjoy the heck out of it.

Congrats on the new car. Did you check to see if the top recalls were done? I know it's something you don't want to hear, but rather get it done now when you're not driving it, then to have it done when there's great weather.

Thank you everyone. I am really excited about this car even though it is still stiing in the garage. We had a foot of snow last night, and it is supposed to hit -16 degrees later tonight (that is a minus sign!), so hopefully this is the worst winter we will have for a long time, because next winter it will be out in the snow!
I might have to check those out. I am a big fan of keeping stones and mud from flying off the tire directly to the body. I like the Z28 wheel flares and liners too, so I might wait to see if those will be available. Quote:
I verified that I got the new warranty starting at 220 miles. It is in there as bumper to bumper until Dec 19 2016 or 36,226. I even made them write it on the purchase agreement just in case there was an issue. That was a big selling point! Quote:
Again, thank you everyone. Glad to be part of the car owning community and not just part of the website! -Geoff

Glad you have all the info re; your vert's history and the warranty.
As another member posted, did you check out your top and check with your dealer re; "top recall". As you have over 100 posts on the forum, I'm guessing you're aware of the issues with the convertible tops some of the 2011 and early 2012 built 'verts. Not all of us have had these problems but it's definitely something to be aware of and monitor for.

Going to put the ZL1 shifter in it for sure, and maybe even the 1LE suspension. I would like to even throw a ZL1 dual mode exhaust on it - it sounds awesome! I figure I need to stick to factory mods until the warranty is up! -Geoff

Also I have the GM quarter Flares(they are not called mud flaps) and like them, but it does stop you from using ground effects or the ZL1 rocker panels.

Top Recalls?
I have a 2011 2SS vert & love it. The Car Fax had listed some warranty work on the top that was done. Do you have any details on the recalls, or where I can find them?
