Once again, it isn't gm's fault.
They have no control over what dealers charge

it has nothing to due with GM, its the dealers. Also its simple economics, if something is in demand and low quantity its gonna get sold for more then it is worth

Or it could be that the dealer is just greedy as can be...

Yea do you think supply will increase by early 2010?? like jan feb?

Scarlett'sOtherRide · 08-06-2009, 06:47 PM

heck out the thread on dealers that are not gouging. You might find one near you that is on the "good" list.
I am ready to drive out of state to order mine. I am not paying more than MSRP.

Absolutely, I would say much sooner than that

PAUL SS · 08-06-2009, 07:05 PM

Only thing worse than dealers with big mark ups is a dealer who wont honor a deal written when the car was ordered. At least with a dealer who does markups you know where you stand and might be able to talk him down a little. Mark ups are still unacceptable!

I am gonna be on this every chance I get.

TheAssassin · 08-06-2009, 11:45 PM

So if supply goes up do you think dealers would still have these crazy mark ups?

Unfortunately, you live in SoCal so you can expect you will have to endure not having a Camaro for awhile longer unless you pay the mark-up or willing to put in time and effort and call around and pray a dealer will sell at MSRP. Generally yes, when dealers start to have more of the new car in their inventory, they need to move them so they'll be willing to negotiate. Supply and demand..pretty elementary.

Yea living in SoCal isnt all celebrities its major taxes but I guess im going to get camaro around march of 2010 so Im just curious on how the dealers would sell hopefully at MSRP with some cash back

Dude, they figure people in LA got money to throw around. And they figure sooner or later, someone will be willing to fork out $7,000 above MSRP for a Camaro. Once they start sitting on the lot for a couple months, they'll lower the price.

I would expect markups to last until after the holiday season at the very least.
