It's a good thing that we sold almost 500 vehicles last month!
We will be allocated more Camaro's than any other dealership in the midwest, more than likely. If there is a special edition Camaro, we will get a few of them as well. |

HELLO PEOPLE, we are the consumer, we can stop the "premium" on new limited edition Camaro's. If we refuse to pay this "premium" ther won't be one.
I know there will be the people that NEED this car right when it comes out, and they can pay the added cost. If you can wait, you can and will get the price you want. I for one am not going to get lubed nor do I want a reach around just to have the CAMARO first. |

Meh, I'll order mine through GMS, just like I did in '99. No hidden mark ups or "market adjustments"...

I guess all the people that sold Wii's and Xbox360's on ebay are the devil too? If you are going to be mad at anyone, be mad at the people who can afford to pay a premium for a premium vehicle. |

It is like I said to the Mazda dealer my wife and I bought her Mazda3 at. I have no problems with the dealership trying to make a profit, it is a business afterall, but I have a problem with them trying to get a whole years profit out of me.

A dealer selling a car - wait, scratch that - refusing to sell a car for less than "X" dollars OVER MSRP - is different from a scalper selling tickets right in front of the gate at Yankee Stadium. You (dealer) are selling the cars new, untitled, and untill they change the insipid franchise laws in this country, the only way to buy a new car (can't buy directly from GM and pick it up right at the front door of Oshawa Assembly, but boy how I'd love to). A ticket is purchased at face value from the Yankees and being resold privately - same way those Wiis and X-Boxes are auctioned at insane prices on ebay. It would be like the Yankees hiring a department to sell their tickets, paying them to sell their tickets at face value, and making them the only resource for getting your tickets. But then that department decides to add their own fees on top of that, which do not make it back to the Yankees. If anything, it should be legal for Joe Shmoe to scalp a World Series ticket right in front of the Stadium and illegal for dealers to refuse to sell any of their cars for more than the manufacturer has suggested the retail price is. Or, at the very minimum, GM should have some fair game practice laws that might stipulate "if you add any fees beyond MSRP and state/county required fees for taxes and registration, we will limit how many cars you get next month". |

I bought Chicago/STL tickets on stubhub.com (legally promoted by mlb, btw) last month to a sept game already sold out and I have to say that I felt legally scalped. I'm not about to tell my wife we're not going to Wrigley Field (her lifelong dream) because we'll have to pay a premium price for the tickets.
And yeah, all the people that sold Wiis and Xbox360s on ebay are the devil too... When my 3 year old boy couldn't get a diecast Mater for Christmas because greedy bastards bought them all up from walmart to sell on ebay to make a dollar, yeah I have a problem with that... |

I guess to cut it to the chase, if the salesperson in question or the finance manager or the whoever at the dealer wants to be an asshat, I just won't do business with them. Tacking an extra 5 g's onto a car that already is making you a profit to me means you're not too interested in making customers for life. Soo... that leads us back to my first statement: "Meh, I'll order mine through GMS."
