ZL1 Market Markup - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ir0nM4n · 05-12-2012, 08:55 PM

So I saw my first ZL1 on a showroom floor. Very nice black ZL1, looked at the price and it was 58K. Asked sales man if there was a mark up and pointed to a little side piece of paper. Stated 10K market markup for a total of 69 K.
My question for people who have purchased this car or people who have looked into them. Is it normal to pay 10K over sticker price, just because a dealership wants that? I mean the sales man was not the nicest when I asked if there had been offers on the car. He stated yes but we are not taking less than 69K. I was like ok, I made no big deal just asked if offers were made. Then he was really abroupt, wow and the sun was shinning.
Anyone buy a ZL1 with out paying the 10K mark up or at least getting half that 10K marked off?

I know when my dealership has cars like that, we sell them at sticker and don't mark them up past that. Usually I sell my cars at Invoice - Destination - 1,500 bucks - Rebates.

But I have heard of other dealerships doing such with limited production cars like that however.

Got my ZL1 for MSRP, no more!

Don't buy from someone who wants to play games. It's not that hard to say no.

phantom · 05-12-2012, 09:44 PM

MSRP also!

1MtnGoat · 05-12-2012, 09:55 PM

MSRP! Go somewhere else!

Camaro Fred · 05-12-2012, 09:56 PM

I got mine at MSRP. There are plenty of dealerships out there who choose not to charge more than MSRP. If you can't find one, Talk to Becky Roger's on this forum. You will have to wait, but you CAN get them at MSRP, do not pay any premium! Good luck.

MSRP....

Ir0nM4n · 05-12-2012, 10:17 PM

Thank you, I thought I was the only one thinking that asking 10K just because was stupid.

Z4me · 05-12-2012, 10:21 PM

I would say the majority of the people on this forum have paid
MSRP or a small amount over. Remember the 2013's are just
around the corner now.

Ir0nM4n · 05-12-2012, 10:26 PM

Hey do you guys or gals know if this happened when the first SS's came out? Did they also have a Market Adjustment?

Z4me · 05-12-2012, 10:50 PM

I was not in the market for a camaro back then, but I have
talked to others who were. There reply was yes there were
dealers back then doing ad ons to MSRP in fact some of the
same group of dealers that were doing it back then are doing
the same thing with the ZL1's from what I have been told.

I was at a dealer and he mentioned their markup would be as much as 20K thought that was a little much
