Any dealers doing discounts yet?
 
It's hard to tell from the threads about "MSRP and below" dealers and "What did you pay?" whether dealers are giving any discounts yet or not. I get the impression they are not, or very few are.

I do know that if you pay more than MSRP right now, you are not a smart shopper as plenty of dealers are selling Camaros for that. The dealer I take my Corvette to for service here in Atlanta (Day's Chevrolet) is selling them all day long at MSRP when you special order a car from them. But the cars they get in are all sold, so they don't have any in the showroom. Some other dealers have cars in the showroom that they mark up over MSRP to people who are willing to get gouged to have a Camaro right now.

So, any dealers or salesmen who post on Camaro5 giving any discounts? Did you get a discount from MSRP for your car, or do you know a dealer who does it yet? Seems like the time is close for that.

It's just a matter of time till Camaros are discounted like the rest of the Chevy line, including all Corvettes except the ZR-1. I really want a new car within a year, but I am a cheap ba$tar& and will order my Camaro from the dealer who gives me the best deal- don't care about the coffee or how nice the salesman is. :rolleyes:

Hey bud,
The only thing that sucks is that you are in Hotlanta (I love your town btw) becasue there is a dealer here in California that has a Cyber Gray 2SS on his lot and is willing to let it go for GMS (employee pricing) right now that's below MSRP! I ordered mine in a diff color and was still able to get GMS pricing...I guess it's a crap shoot when you walk into a dealer...or just remember buyer beware!!:thumbup:

I was able to use the GM recent college grad discount which put me about $1000 below MSRP. Not all dealers would take it though, took awhile to find one who would but MacMulkin Chevrolet in Nashua, NH had no problem taking it and luckily they had allocation the week after I ordered :)

WOW! What a coincidence- that is where I ordered my Corvette- they offered the lowest price and we had the car shipped to my local Atlanta area dealer (Day's Chevrolet) from the Kentucky Corvette plant.

I have an e-mail into them tonight.

(I promise I don't work for them and I don't take kickbacks from them!!!)

Lot of dealers do - you just have to look. At most you'll have to wait.

So far McMaulkin is at MSRP, but will honor Supplier and GM employee discounts (not me). To make it worthwhile to order out of state, that dealer has to beat the local dealer's price by enough to make it worth it, since local dealers charge several hundred dollars to take delivery on somebody else's order (and not all dealers will agree to do it).

Maybe it's too early for regular discounts on Camaros, but if so, the time ain't far off I think! It took over a year after the 505 horse Z-06 Vette was introduced till they started really dealing on them, but now only idiots pay MSRP for one.

My local dealer told me that I could get the supplier discount. That was back in October when I placed the order, with a deposit! It's almost August and the car has not been built yet. If you are willing to wait, you can get the discount but I would suggest going to a dealer that has a higher allocation than the one I went to.

How does that discount work and how much is it?
