They would decide in a week or two. They could take what I wanted and get back with me on the price. I don't walk that way and I won't pay a pack. Tell me what you want over invoice and write the deal. I have cash and don't need financing. I'm here to buy a car. Simple deal. Not interested, I'm outta here.
What a waste of my time and gas. I will check a few more CA dealers near me, but if they all want packs here in CA, then sorry, I don't need a new Camaro and will look for another new toy. Or just wait til dealers get loaded with these when they don't sell and buy one then.

why does everyone assume that you writing a check gives you power over the dealership? Did you know we prefer you to finance? We actaully get paid by the lenders and it increases our portfolios with them the more financing we do. In making decsions on some very skinny deals; financing was a major part of that decision. I might take a skinny deal if it was helping create a good portfolio with my lender but wouldn't be interested in a skinny deal if it was cash.
But yeah, why would you order a car from someone who has to get back with you about pricing?
