Go into the dealership having a really good idea of what you want. Down to the specifics. And know your info by reading those ordering workbooks that were uploaded on this website.

Once you go over what you want, they're probably going to want a check. I had to put down $500. Others say $1,000. It's up to the dealership.

Then they will put your pre-order into the system. Of course, this order can change up until it's been submitted for production (Mid-Febuary).

Some questions you might want to ask...

-Do they offer MSRP or lower?
-Would they offer the employee discount or military discount if GM allows them? (if applicable)
-What's they're allocation, and where would you be on that list?

The allocation will give a hint to when you can possible expect your Camaro. If their allocation is 5. Then they will only recieve 5 up till Sept 09. So if you're # 10 on the list, then you might want to just hold onto your money and wait till next year.

I'm sure I missed a few things, but that should get you started. Go into the dealership expecting to know more than they do lol
When I went in the dealer stated they were adding a 2500 dollar markup to the MSRP price. I was his first order, so I placed it.

I have been looking around since trying to find a dealer who is charging MSRP or a lower cost. I have not been successful yet. I live in Northern Va, and most of the dealers are out to make a lot of money. If anyone lives in Va, and has a dealership charging reasonable rates I would love to know which dealership it is.
