Fixing the price of a new car order
 

I am getting ready to order. I want to order my SS now so I will receive it in April. I am being quoted a price that includes rebates. Of course I am told that none of those incentives may be available when they deliver the car.

What are my options when negotiating with a dealer for securing the price until the time of delivery? I would prefer they take the risk with rebates and I take the risk with interest rates.

Some dealers may be willing to take the hit and give you the incentive as a guaranteed price. Call around and ask a few different dealers is your best option if you want to guarantee your rebate.

AFAIK, the only incentives that may not stick around that far are the toyota incentive and the saturn/pontiac one. The USAA and the credit union one sound like they're good all year.

Get that price quote in writing with a signature by the general sales manager!

what is the toyota incentive? Ive been talking with a dealer and he hasnt said anything about that.

If you trade in a toyota, you get an extra $1,000 off.

Please note though that the Camaro does not qualify for this rebate.

Even if you get it in writing there is a clause in the paperwork that says that is it not a binding legal agreement that all price agreements are void and the buyer agrees to pay the price at delivery.

99.9% of the time, pricing is "price in effect at time of delivery" which includes/excludes rebates available at that time. The ONLY thing that you will most likely be able to ensure is price protection if the MSRP goes up between when you order and when the car is delivered- Chevy has guaranteed that continually up to this point.

Doesn't apply toward Camaro's

AGREE!
