So what you're saying is the dealer gets money back from GM to cover the difference in THEIR invoice price at the time of ordering versus the time of delivery? And I guess I'm to assume then that it's up to the dealer if they want to pass those savings on to the customer for the difference in MSRP. If that's the case, I could essentially get shanked by the dealer, who would essentially be making more money off of me and GM and I lose out. And if that's the case, what's the point of ordering at MSRP early on? That situation makes the early ordering price protection seem pretty much non-existent... Sorry if I seem upset. I'm very grateful to you, RPO, for all of your help, and if I'm missing anything, please correct me. It's all still a little confusing at times. I just don't want to lose money when I essentially thought I was getting a certain price by pre-ordering a car I still have yet to even see.
