Everyone seems to think that dealers are at GM's mercy. It's really the other way around. If dealers DON'T buy cars and trucks from GM (orders), they have to shut down the plants and so on and so on. They both need each other to survive but there are specific franchise agreements that both are bound by.

Again, this situation does suck. But, am I correct in understanding that the OP did NOT order the first Camaro. The dealer just used her name for their own purposes of getting the vehicle under the pre-order process? Where did they get that info from in the first place?

It all sounds like a legal battle but without reading throught his whole thread, was there a signed buyers order and an order was taken fromthat and put into the system?

i believe the OP ordered her car and then was told when her order was to be finalized that they would be charging over $8,000 MSRP because it was the first they would be getting and that if she ordered another one they would charge MSRP, she then found out that they were still going to keep her first order to go through in her name just so they could have a car on their lot !!

Then on March 3rd the day my order was to be finalized by the dealer, he informed me that they were going to charge $8,000.00 over MSRP for the car. This would be my 4th new car I have bought from this dealer and on 10/24 he told me that they would not "jack up" the price on me. I took him for his word. BIG MISTAKE.
He then informed me that this was just because they found out that my car was going to be the very first car they were going to get and he wouldn't charge me as much if I would order another one. I found out last week by a slip of the tounge at the dealer that GM was producing customer "sold" orders first and they had still ordered the car in my name so they could go ahead and get it in to have on their lot.
