LOL no Indpowr you did not scare me away! I signed off pretty much after I made that second post yesterday as I got up early to run a 5K race! And yes it was quite a bad sunburn - I was suffering for days! And the cute pup is Bella - my spoiled Mini Aussie!
So we made it to two Chevy dealers today. The first one they had 3 SS's, 2 Manuals in the showroom, 1 already being sold, and 1 automatic. The guy I talked to said they were not taking any more orders as their branch was going to be shut down in the upcoming months. So no go there.
The next we went to only had a SS in the showroom. The guy I talked to, Carlos, stated that they could order me an LS no problem and it would take 30-45 days. I told him I wanted to get some figures because I was still shopping around and wanted to make sure I got the best deal. The first thing that turned me off and made me wonder how the hell he even graduated high school was when he asked me where else we were going to look and I stated "Michigan" as my Dad will be back up there next week, he's like Michigan? That is north right? Where is that? Ummm hellooo! We are in Florida, is there anything further south than Florida? LMAO
He says for me to print off the LS I want from the Chevy website, with the MSRP listed and bring it and they'll give to me for MSRP. Then he goes and talks to his little man behind the special counter (so gay with these higher ups at dealers, I swear) and comes back and says they are marking up the LS's $1000 and the SS's $5000. I looked at him and told him he was crazy and I would be taking my business elsewhere. So off we went. That dealer also did not have one to test drive.
Why in the world would I order a car without taking it for a test drive to make sure I like it 100%? I mean I'm sure I'll love it no problem, but I'd still like to get a feel for it, ya know?
The second dealer I went to with the markups was Courtesy Chevy, and that's listed in the post it with offering them at MSRP or under so I'm not sure if that should be changed? I don't know, maybe I could have gotten them to get rid of the mark up had I actually ordered...not sure.
Thank you to everyone that has responded - I couldn't believe the response! I'd like to think it's a combination of all of you being so friendly and also another female in the midst! LOL j/k!
Alright now that I've written a novel I'll end this. Going to check out a couple more local dealers on Monday before I head into work. I tried to check that database thingy that someone listed, the spasticsquirrel website but when I went to change the filters it kept messing up. So I'll have to check it again later.
I hope you all have a great night!! And to the one that said you'd share your camaro with me that would be wonderful! I have a lead foot and like to drive fast so I hope that's ok!
