When you order a car, the dealer should keep his opinion out of it. Its your Camaro, why would you let the dealer pick your colors or options? |

The resolution:
Went to another dealer that was on the list of MSRP or below dealers and it was a great experience. Very knowledgeable sales people and my sales guy actually had the Camaro5 site up. That was very good to see. My 2SS/RS order will be from their initial allocation and that was very good news as well. My sincere appreciation and thanks to Country Chevrolet in Warrenton, VA for letting me participate in the entire ordering process and to all here for their encouragement and sound advice. Thanks Paul |

There are plenty of dealers out there to choose from. Find one that meets your needs and works for you... after all thats the buisness they're in.

Cyber Grey is an awesome color btw. Just make sure you don't regret getting the black even though you know it's a good choice. Get what you want. you don't want to say ... damn I kinda wish I got that other color when you see someone drive by with the color you really wanted. Screw the dealer. worst case order the exact car you want and have it drop shipped to that dealer. I always say: Nothing is worse than regret. Good luck |

My dealer want 1k down to order the car. They told me they are marking up every camaro they order. But since I've been loyal to them they will sell a camaro to me at sticker price.

The larger dealers near me all wanted 1-5K down, plus a signed contract. My small town dealer who only got three wanted nothing down, just a handshake deal. Said if it came in and I didn't like it or want it no biggie he would have no trouble selling it.

I must've really been lucky. My guy was awesome and didn't even want a deposit. If you live in Maryland, it's worth the trip to Laurel to go to Fox Chevy.

I have walked out of several dealers now when they were giving me a line of crap. I don't mind driving a little further to get the car I want. I may not know a lot about the automobile industry but I know when I am being played for a sucker.
I have already eliminated the closest dealer to me because he said they would have markup. I am waiting for them to start popping up on lots before I buy, want to see what the mood is in the auto industry at that time. |

I smiled about that, too, as I knew then that I had made the right decision on what dealership to do business with. |
