The dealer I ordered the black car is a 3k markup over MSRP

Ok there is a small Chevy dealer near my house and I didnt even think they had a Camaro until last week I saw it in the window.

The manager told me he will sell it at MSRP of $36,000. Well I went there today to buy it but I brought my body shop friend along to show him the car.

Well surprise is the entire drivers side of the car was repainted, fender, door, quarter, door pillar and rear bumper.

It looks good but there is lots of clearcoat overspray in the door jambs and creases. Its rough near the edge of the back window and it just pissed me off. its not factory fresh.

Well the Manager then told me it was damaged and painted and he would take another $500 off. I said NO DEAL. I mean everyone knows that once a car is repainted it will affect resale value and Orange isnt an easy color to blend and match.

If this guy would sell me the car for under 30k i would buy it but I am not paying MSRP for a car that had all this work done.

I am so pissed today because I wanted the car this week so I can drive it before snowfall.

Now I think its not going to happen til after the winter and maybe by then I can get a decent deal below MSRP with none of this price gouging markup BS which in my opinion should be illegal especially on a car made in this high volume.

I still dont get it as to where all these Camaros are because its being made in decent numbers.

Now the search goes on. Ebay has a ton but all of them are marked up in the 40k+ range so screw them even for ones USED.
How far from central Pa are you? Their are many dealers selling at or below msrp. Lake in mifflin county just got an orange 2ss in.
