Could this be possible? I mean, could it?...that you possibly couldn't find a dealer selling at less than 5K over invoice?
This, FOR FACT, could be a possibility (not likely to happen, though). But, if it did....PRICE GOUGING.
Realistically, I see what you are saying (about selling them off in decreasing prices). But, if you wanted to get into GT500 and the sales guy said, "Fork over $50K...PLUS another 20K on top of that and it'll be yours!"...with that "I'm gonna screw you out of 20K because I can" smile. C'mon. You don't think this guy is screwing you? You don't think that's price gouging? Sure, you might have the 50K to pay MSRP, but ...you ain't gonna be getting into one of those!!! Don't recall anyone selling them at MSRP as an alternative.

His point though is you
DON'T NEED a gt500,
its a luxury item. You can go get a GT and replace the bottom end and throw on a blower and have the SAME thing for less $$. Your paying extra for the Shelby name.
That said, thats why the GT500 and the first year Challenger are
limited production. It creates HIGH desirability with low supply which =
high prices. We wont have that problem with the camaro so FEW if ANY dealers will be able to get away with large markups for more than 2-3 months (when supply over takes demand).
With the camaro, don't worry, chances are you wont have to pay a markup unless your first in line at your dealer and he's the type to squeeze that extra money. And I always chalk that up to the "I gotta be first" syndrome.
