Its a new car, what tires and batteries are they disposing of. Sounds like BS to me

Dude just taking everyhting he can think of and putting it on there.

What about the cost for the gardener and the guy thats hauls off all the excess Bullsh@t at the end of the day

[bobby35ny]

Well, Law states they have to "disclose" so they make up stuff so they can charge the fee. Every stealership down here in South FL does it. People must pay it because they all charge it. I have been trying to order a damn car for a month down here and no dealer will waive the fee.

Plus they said they'd place my order for $500 UNDER MSRP...not too bad!!! They said their allocation was 10, and they've already ordered 11, but for $500 down they would place one more on order for me. The only bad thing is they said they would NOT honor the GM Military Discount for at least the first year. I wonder why? Does the dealership lose out by participating in the Military Discount program? Oh well, still $500 under MSRP is pretty fair at this point.

Dude...I would seriusly check in to this, unless you dont mind getting your
car in ....maybee Sept- Oct. or who knows...just my 0.02

Getting a car in sept/oct for 500 under MSRP is a ripoff, thats my opinion.
That timeframe, the car will be going for 3G under msrp just like the SRT8's

Blah Blah

Blah, blah, blah

Blah Blah Blah Blah

Blah

Blah

Oh, and I forgot Blah

They do realize most of that doesn't cost a dime, don't they? And what does cost them anything if at all, like I said, would equate to about $8.00/hr.

Nice, If Mr. Crespo treats you all well I may be taking my business to him....Classic in Altamonte is just absolutely giving me the run around and with my last adventure with them I expect the same....

Any know Mr. Crespo's screen name on here to send him a message, I may still be 9 months away from ordering, but if hes fair and straight I won't mind a lil extra drive near OIA.

I live in Miami and all the local dealers i spoke to wanted 2k - 5k over msrp. I ordered from Maroone of Miami (8 street). they wanted 2k over msrp. when i told them i would order from a dealer in Estero Beach who agreed on msrp i got the "let me talk to my manager". they agreed to msrp w a 2k deposit. they told me the car wouldn't arrive until "the end of the summer". I got exactly the same price as the chevy "build your own" site came out to.

[venom8298]

The dealer i have been talking to do not charge a dealer fee. Only a documentation fee of $75.00.
