This is what I've been saying in some of my other posts, that as long as there's folks who are willing to pay over MSRP, then dealers will just keep doing this.
I test drove a demo Camaro at a dealership where I live about three weeks ago. It wasn't for sale. At that time, they suggested I order one but there was no mention about it being over MSRP. I decided a few days later to just wait till next year when I'm in a more favorable financial position.
Well, two days ago the salesman called me and told me that the demo is now for sale. It's at MSRP he said, but it has 600 miles on it. If you order one with them, it's $1500 over MSRP on the V6, and $3000 over on the SS. He was trying to impress upon me that the demo at MSRP was a bargain! I'm not going to pay sticker on a car with 600 miles on it, besides, I'm sticking to my guns about waiting a while until I'm ready. Besides, the demo was a red LT1. I want an RJT LT2.
But when I mentioned to him that he's selling a demo with 600 miles on it at MSRP? He said "oh, we'll sell it, no problem". I'm sure they will!
