No Suppliers Discount for me - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Yeahyouknwit · 11-06-2008, 09:38 AM

So i just heard from my dealer and they said that the talked to their GM rep and he said no suppliers discount will be offered when the camaro first comes out

im mad as hell. has anyone else heard this? does this mean that GM in general will not be offering it at launch or is my dealer just trying to save x amount of dollars by not offering this to me?

I checked into that a while ago. Suppliers discounts typically can't be used on vehicles that are just being launched.

That's not true. It's available for the Traverse which just came out. Dealers tried to tell me that as well. Whether GM does it for the Camaro, I don't know. In the past they've done it on the hybrids and stuff like the ZR1 but really, the Camaro SHOULD have it available. I would really love a definitive answer because this determines whether I pre-order or wait for the discounts to be available.

I just ordered mine on Monday and my salesman brought it up when i asked if they are selling for MSRP. He said yes MSRP and any incentivies or discounts at the time including suppliers will be given. It BETTER be true.

I have gotten GMS on my other vehicles and my dealer principal had mentioned to me that she couldn't give me GMS if I want to be priority 1.

If you have a login for GMFAMILYFIRST.com you can see the pricing - As in the earlier post - It's up to each dealer to honor or not honor GMS.

Pretend you're the dealer...no matter what you're going to be able to sell all the cars you get for the first wave. Why would you want to sell a discounted car when there is someone that would buy a car at full price?

Because word of mouth referrals is worth WAY more than the few extra dollars that they can make from one car.

Scenario: You and a buddy are at a local street drag in your 2010 Camaro and discussing the purchase with some other guys. You got a discount at dealer X and the other guy paid MSRP at dealer Y. 4 or 5 people that are thinking about buying a new car are listening to your conversation. Guess where they are all going to buy their new car.

UCF w00t · 11-06-2008, 02:02 PM

And guess where you'll go for your next car?

I'm on the young side of things and I find that some dealers don't seem to take me seriously. Even if I didn't have the $$$ to buy the car, they should still bend over backwards to make a good impression. I'll be buying cars for a long time to come. Meanwhile the 60yr old guy that they give the utmost respect won't be buying all that many more. I'll never understand the logic of some businesses when it comes to this stuff.

Yeahyouknwit · 11-06-2008, 02:13 PM

this is killing me i was finally got over the whole buying before sitting in or even seeing the car and now i cant get the suppliers discount. I was planning on that discount to help me be able to buy the car. I know its not going to be much but for a young business man every penny helps. now i dont know if im going to be able to buy in the first round offered.

xl1200r · 11-06-2008, 02:15 PM

Dealer's get a kickback from the factory when they sell a car with a Supplier Discount. The price difference for them because of that is only a couple hundred bucks. If a dealer won't offer it because of that, I'll take my business elsewhere.

The suppliers discount comes to like $1500 on a 2SS... That's $30/mo. If that seriously breaks you, then you probably can't really afford the car anyways.

Have you ever sold cars? It is not that simple brother.

Dear Mr. X,
