So knowing that next year the price will have the bottom fall out, I just decided to get the car that I REALLY wanted and so I bought a new 2010 Black on Black Grand Sport 6M Corvette with all the options.
Of course it was a lot more cash, but this was the car I really wanted and was thinking of the Camaro as being what I could settle on at a more affordable price. But when the price of the Camaro I wanted and the add-ons I wanted, shot up to the $50k range, I just decided to get the Grand Sport instead.
Of course the local dealers would not even try to help out. So I went searching and found a GREAT dealer in New Hampshire named MacMulkin Chevrolet. Tommy Jr there gave me a deal better than my other best offer that included several discounts and employee pricing, and his price beat them by far with NO discounts. And he guaranteed me any discounts that were available at delivery would also be added.
So come February I will be getting the museum delivery option with a HUGE GRIN on my face. He gave me a deal that even other dealers told me could not be done. Being a Chevy dealer, I would bet that they would also give anyone the best price ever on a new Camaro also.
I tell ya....after messing with these dealers for the last 3 months, I can see why people get pissed off and get Mustangs. GM ought to dump these rotten money sucking jerks and concentrate on working with dealers who try to HELP the customers instead of screw them.
I had the cash to get a 2SS Camaro if one of them would have wanted to do a sweet deal for me. But seeing that they all wanted to squeeze a little more, I just got the Corvette. I feel that it's better to make SOME profit than NO profit and have a HAPPY customer instead of one who will go out of their way to recommend a GREAT dealer instead of them.
With the end of the year incentives for the dealers, they could have sweetened the terms a bit, but NO....they were trying to kick me in the teeth because they know a price increase is on the way and there are people scrambling to make a last chance deal. So all I can say is that MacMulkin Chevrolet in New Hampshire got my business and my referral for anyone who I can tell about them.
I wish everyone a GREAT NEW YEAR and hope that you get your dream car also  |
I Agree with everything you said!!
Our 'Special Ordered' 2SS car came in, in record time 7 weeks.
My wife & I go to get the car THAT NIGHT of delivery, check book in hand, (also a cash deal) and The dealer backs out of our previously agreed to deal... which was "I'll give you a grand off msrp, plus all incentives at the time of delivery".
MSRP -Less $1,000 from the dealer; -Less the CU Discount -$1,000; -Less $750 USAA; -Less $500 60-Day Opt Out.
My wife & I feel the dealer must've had another fish on the hook for our car, and thought they could sell it to him at full msrp????
Anyway... now the car has sat in the show room for the past 30+ days!
Our local dealer can go F@*K themselves!!
