At that point, the dealership would make their money off of storage costs of the vehicle if it's not picked up immediately, detailing, inspection, etc.

I can buy everything else online; automobile industry needs to catch up =)
Well said....dealerships are mostly for the impulsive shoppers and the Camaro fits this bill perfectly for the mark up if they have one for lot stock. I just don't get it though. I bought mine as lot stock and mark up was not even brought up other than me actually making the statement that it was crazy that some dealer are doing this. I am not a huge dealership fan in general but my outlook has changed for my current dealer. As long as the Good Lord Above is willing to allow me to make a living, my current dealer will have me as a customer for life now
