Mac Haik in Houston denies my written agreement for MSRP (UPDATE: Issue resolved!!!) - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Slap them with a lawsuit. If you have a legal document state how things are supposed to go, then that is how they are supposed to go down. They are slingiin' BS, and you need to call them on it!

I say have patience, once they fill their backorders you be able to buy a maro at less then MSRP .... JMO

Don't even worry about it, unless the General Manager does not do the right thing.

I was told by the manager that the GM would not tell me any different. I left a voice mail for Mac Haik so we will see if he returns my call. If not, pretty easy to just go see him. He is in my building!

I also doubt it will be there by the time i get this resolved. Some idiot will probably pay it. They already had a sold tag on a yellow 2SS/RS.

Could it be.... because their representatives come to these forums and blame the state franchise laws for GM's failure to address these issues?

+1 But I dont blame you one bit for not wanting to buy GM because of this. I personally know 4 people that have bought other cars(1 challenger, 3 mustangs) because of stupid BS that goes on with GM. This whole pre-order thing is a mess. GM builds some great vehicles but if they dont get thier heads out of thier

they will continue on a downward spiral.

Its hard to believe that you waited all this time and this happens. MakHaik is one of the most respected dealers in houston and this is just unusual that they can treat one of thier customers like this. Expose them to the media and tell them exactly what they did to you. I have a feeling that you want be the only one they screw over for those who pre-ordered.

Good Luck!

This is so disturbing on many levels. I honestly hope someone intervenes on your behalf and makes this wrong right! That is BS. WTF is a written agreement for anyway if the party doesn't abide by the agreement. BS I tell you...BS. I would take it to the State Attorney General's office and the Better Business Bureau. If they pull this type of stunt in the open what other deceitful things are they doing behind closed doors. I wouldn't trust that dealer to put air in my tires! Good luck man. Sorry for the let down too.

Camaro5 is correct!

1. Go to the top of the dealership and show them a COPY of the agreement. Never give them the original, they could rip it up right in front of you (but have the original in your back pocket).

2. If the GM or owner will not honer it tell them exactly what Camaro5 said. Don't threaten them, just state the fact and give them a chance to respond. If they don't just turn around and walk away. Of course follow through with it then. I know people that work in other state attorney general's office's and they would love to hear about something like this along with the media. Just keep in mind, when going to the media ... it is the dealership causing the problem not the larger "GM".

I would be willing to bet you get your car after talking to the owner of the dealership.

How about this. Why doesn't GM take notice of this BS and immediately stop all deliveries of Camaro's to dealers that are pulling this crap. Locate dealers in the area that agree to sell at MSRP and deliver the cars to them. Follow up with the customers and make sure its happening that way. GM knows who we are, we received letters from Ed Pepper! Then start unloading the slowest moving, poorest selling models on the dealers that are creating all the bad press for GM and see how long the keep this sh*% up......... This cannot be too difficult. I always get a call from someone, GM or Chevy or someone after I buy a car asking me how it all went and am I happy with my car. There is a way to stop this if they really wanted too.

According to GM, if they do anything that punishes a dealer it's against some law that's different in every state and impossible to contest.

If you have a binding agreement and then walk away and do nothing, you have no one to blame other than yourself. If you are right, let the courts decide it. Airing it out here is cool but will accomplish nothing. Tell your story to a local news agency and call an attorney.

I'm gonna call tomorrow morning and let them know to honor the contract, or I'll smear their name all across central Texas. I'm sure enough phone calls and they'll give this guy his deal.

*mlee* · 05-06-2009, 08:36 PM

I might have to visit there tomorrow just to see a CGM Camaro in person... Guess it would have been too much to ask for pics. I'll act like a buyer and see what kind of crappy deal they offer me. What a nightmare oldTimer... but I would definitely take my agressions out on the Dealer not GM.

Who knows GM may back you on this one... You haven't given them a chance yet.
