Order NOW - $500 over INVOICE or GMS/GSU - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

trm0002 · 01-31-2009, 05:00 PM

Did that get your attention? This is my way of giving back to the forum members here. Props to Mac1 for directing me to them. Funny part is my "winter ride" Impala was initially bought from them...

I am fully serious. As many of you know, I was the first to order at the 2nd largest dealer in the country. At MSRP. I have found a local dealer with plenty of allocation left who I placed a new order with since he was accepting GMS/GSU where my original dealer was not.

I got the new order pricing in writing and so did a friend I brought along who also placed a GMS deal this morning. There's a total of only four Camaros sold at this dealership so far including ours. The fifth spot is reserved for Mac1 here. His original allocation was 31. That leaves 26 in my book.

So here it is:

Joe Basil Chevrolet
Transit Road
Depew (Buffalo), NY
(716) 684-6800

You need to speak directly to Steve Dietzen, new car manager.
Steve's Direct Number-> (716) 206-1796

his email is the easiest way to get a hold of him and is as follows:

steved@joebasilchevrolet.com

FYI- Steve is usually off on Fridays

Good news for you - saving money is a plus.
I already have that deal as my dealer was always willing to honor GM discounts and incentives if available.
I would jump on board if i didn't though as it will save around $2500 or so.

That's a long drive but worth a few grand!

You got the idea...

$90 one way flight from Miami to Buffalo. Then you get to slum it driving back to Florida in your new Camaro.

Hell, if the flight isn't while I'm at work I'll even be willing to pick up whoever comes in and drive them to the dealership. It's about 15 minutes from the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport (BUF). I would be more than happy to do that for members here if it fits into my schedule.

fad1 · 01-31-2009, 08:34 PM

By the time I buy my Camaro, hopefully I can find a deal as good as that ....... or even better

Mac1 · 01-31-2009, 08:43 PM

If the flight comes in while trm0002 is at work or otherwise tied up - I'll pick you up and take you there. It is a fantastic deal and a great dealership. If you call Steve he WILL sell for invoice!

$500 over INVOICE or GMS/GSU

is it whichever is higher or what?

i've been trying to find someone to accept Military and that i can dropship from

Codefive · 01-31-2009, 09:03 PM

That is GREAT news!
I just emailed him.
Hopefully I can make a clean switch (or get my existing order at a lower price)
I was driving to the midwest from MD so North instead of West is fine with me. lol
Thank you!

No, not which is higher. If you qualify for GMS, that's obviously the lowest. Those that qualify for supplier he's guessing at this point will be equivalent to $500 over invoice; so for those that don't qualify for either discount, that's where the $500 over invoice comes into play. If it turns out supplier is lower than that, Steve will give you that price; otherwise you get the $500 over invoice.

I'd love to see this thread turn into a bidding war.

You and me both but how much farther can it really go when Basil is willing to blow out all their stock at GMS or GSU or $500 over invoice- whichever is better for you depending on what you qualify for ?

Chewy · 01-31-2009, 10:58 PM

wow, $500 per car and 31 allotment - they still make an easy $15k this quarter on camaros alone. sell cheap and sell many - we all win!

They make a lot more than that. Remember holdback? 3% on a Camaro- about $1000 a car on a 2SS. Bottom line, we're friggin ecstatic at $500 over invoice compared to what's going on elsewhere, and they still make $40,000-$45,000.

That is a win/win scenario in anybody's book.
