The Chevrolet Camaro build-and-price tool lets you configure a car to your specifications and see the final price before you visit a dealer

Chevrolet's official build-and-price tool is located on Chevrolet.com. You start by choosing a model year, body style (coupe or convertible), and trim level, then add options like engine, transmission, paint color, and interior features. The tool updates the price in real time as you make each selection, so you see exactly what your choices cost.

This tool is useful whether you are shopping for yourself or just exploring what a Camaro costs with certain features. The final price you see includes the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) but not destination charges, taxes, or dealer fees — those are added when you actually purchase. You can save your configuration, print it, or send it to a dealer.

Key Takeaways

  • The build-and-price tool is free and found directly on Chevrolet.com under the Camaro model page.
  • You select trim level, engine, transmission, exterior color, interior materials, and optional packages, with the price updating after each choice.
  • The price shown is MSRP only and does not include destination fees, taxes, dealer markup, or dealer-added fees.
  • You can save your configuration and share it with dealers or use it to compare different setups side by side.

How to access the Chevrolet build-and-price tool

Go to Chevrolet.com and navigate to the Camaro model page. Look for a button labeled "Build and Price" — it is usually near the top of the page alongside photos and specifications. Click it to open the configurator.

The tool works on desktop browsers and mobile devices. If you have trouble finding it, use the search bar on Chevrolet.com and type "Camaro build and price" — this will take you directly to the tool.

Choosing your trim level and body style

The first step is selecting whether you want a coupe (closed roof) or convertible. Next, you choose a trim level. Chevrolet typically offers several Camaro trims, each with a different base price and standard features. Lower trims cost less but come with fewer standard options; higher trims include more features but start at a higher price.

The tool shows you what comes standard with each trim — things like the audio system, safety features, and interior materials. Read these carefully, because some features you might want could already be included in a higher trim, making that trim a better value than adding options to a lower one.

Selecting engine, transmission, and drivetrain

The Camaro is available with different engine options, and each has a different price. The tool shows you the horsepower, fuel economy, and cost difference for each engine choice. Transmission options (automatic or manual, depending on the engine) also affect the price.

Engine and transmission choices are the biggest price drivers after trim level. A more powerful engine or a specific transmission type can add thousands to the base price. The tool shows this cost clearly, so you can decide whether the performance increase is worth the money to you.

Customizing exterior color and paint

The tool displays available exterior colors with a preview of how each looks on the Camaro. Standard colors are included in the base price. Some colors — often called "premium" or "special" paints — cost extra. The tool shows the upcharge for premium colors, usually between $300 and $500.

You can also see how different colors pair with different wheel options and interior colors. This helps you visualize the finished car before you commit to a configuration.

Adding packages and individual options

After choosing the basics, the tool shows you available packages and individual options. Packages bundle related features together at a discount compared to buying them separately — for example, a "technology package" might include a larger touchscreen, navigation, and premium speakers. Individual options let you pick single features like heated seats, a sunroof, or upgraded wheels.

The tool shows the price of each package and option. You can add or remove them one at a time to see how they affect the total. Some options are only available if you have already chosen certain other features — for example, a sunroof might not be available on the convertible, or a specific wheel size might require a certain engine.

Understanding the final price and what it includes

The price displayed in the tool is the MSRP — the manufacturer's suggested retail price. This is what Chevrolet recommends dealers charge. It includes the vehicle itself and all the options and packages you selected, but it does not include destination charges (the cost to ship the car from the factory to the dealer), taxes, or dealer fees.

When you actually purchase a Camaro, your final bill will be higher. Destination charges are typically $1,000 to $1,500. Your state and local taxes will be calculated based on where you live. Some dealers also add their own fees — documentation fees, dealer prep, or markup — which vary by location and dealer. The build-and-price tool cannot predict these, so use the MSRP as a starting point for your budget, not a final number.

Saving and sharing your configuration

Once you have built a Camaro you like, the tool lets you save it. You can usually do this by creating an account or by receiving a link via email. A saved configuration lets you come back later and modify it, or share it with a dealer or a friend.

Many dealers have a way to import a saved configuration into their own system, which can speed up the ordering process if you decide to buy. You can also print your configuration or take a screenshot to bring to a dealership or to compare with other cars you are considering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the price in the build-and-price tool match what the dealer will charge?

The MSRP shown is what Chevrolet recommends, but dealers can charge more or less. Some dealers mark up popular models or options; others offer discounts. The tool price is a good reference point, but always confirm the final price with the dealer before you commit.

Can I order a Camaro directly through the build-and-price tool?

No. The tool shows you what is available and what it costs, but you must contact a Chevrolet dealer to actually order or purchase. The tool usually has a button to "find a dealer" or "contact a dealer" once you have finished building.

What if the configuration I want is not available?

Some combinations of options are not possible — for example, certain packages might not work with certain engines. The tool will not let you select incompatible options. If you want a specific feature but it is grayed out, try changing another selection first. A dealer can also tell you whether a custom order is possible.

Does the build-and-price tool show used Camaros or only new ones?

The tool is for new Camaros only. To see used inventory and pricing, visit the dealer's website or use a used-car marketplace. Some dealers also have their own pricing tools for used vehicles.

Can I compare two different Camaro configurations side by side?

The tool itself does not have a built-in comparison feature, but you can save multiple configurations and open them in separate browser tabs to look at them together. Taking screenshots of each configuration also makes it straightforward to compare prices and features.
