On a side note thanks for all of your information and insight. I have never owned a GM product out of my 10+ new vehicles. Please offer the SS in blue!

Federal franchise laws. Scott held a discussion about this very topic on other threads - if you search you will find.

I think franchise laws are bull&&$#, but what can we do? Nothing. Neither can GM (unless they want to go to court).

Only thing you can do, like he said, is tell any dealer that tries to mark it up or charge you any fee beyond sticker and tax/title to shove it.

I am going to bring the price guide with me to the dealer and say "hey, I know what employee price and invoice is. Why would I pay even sticker for this car?"

I don't know how long it will take me, but I'll wait untill I find someone who will sell it for less than sticker.
