I agree with everyone, writing off the bad news and publicity they're getting isn't a smart choice at all.

I guess that's one way to get you to 'upgrade'. The dealer will feel this pain for a long time to come. Good.

Good. | I am sure they will have a low-mileage ZR-1, one owner, with one accident claim in their preowned section... but I am sure the paint issue it was originally in for has been fixed

Conclusion! (New Car) Quote: RIP 2012 ZL1 #1635 - Page 53 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com
Just a quick update for everyone...
1. I never demanded a new car. I merely stated that I should not HAVE to be forced to buy a new [read "different"] car when mine was totaled through no fault of my own. If I had been driving the car, I would accept the loss.
2. The difference in price between a good, used 2012 ZL1 and a new 2013 ZL1 is only about $5-6K considering rebates, etc.
3. Yes, the OP really was to just let everyone know what happened to #1635 that appeared on the ZL1 registry many months ago.
4. We actually made 3 payments on the car while the car was in the dealer's possession while they tried to figure out what to do about the paint issues [read "left the car there for weeks on end without actually doing anything."] I believe the last time I drove the car was the weekend of October 25, 2013.
5. GM and Berger Chevrolet (Grand Rapids, Michigan) have stepped in and are paving [not paying] the way for a new 2013 ZL1 to be sent to First State Chevrolet for me to purchase.
6. We have apologized to many of the employees at First State for the actions taken by many of the people who have been infuriated by this whole story and have called First State to voice their opinions. Anyone who thinks the dealership has not been affected by all of this must have his head in the sand.
7. We want to thank everyone for their support. We never expected this to take on a whole life of its own. A special thanks goes out to the suppliers who have so graciously stepped up to provide parts at their own expense to help ease the heartache we have experienced in this ordeal.
8. I am not the biggest tech guy out there, and I have never made it a practice to post on forums, don't have a Facebook page, etc. But I do plan to stick around on this forum, and I hope to meet many of you in person at various events.
9. When the situation is resolved, I will post photos of the new car. I understand that it will be about two weeks before the insurance check is cut, the old car is paid off, the new car arrives, and a new purchase contract will be signed by my wife and I for the PURCHASE of our new ZL1.
Thanks,
JRH (jhoop302)

Sounds like it's the insurance pay out + a bit more if the car is newer/better.

I think it kinda sucks. After all this, it sounds like Hooper is having to shell out $5-6k. He hasn't come back to the thread to clarify, though. IMHO he shouldn't have to pay a single penny for a resolution.
