If we sell the car for more, and we get audited by GM (which we do), we have to send out refund checks to our customers.
All this is basically the roundabout way of saying that the supplier discount is fixed, and listed on the invoice.

This info ...
"The dealer is contractually obligated to sell the car at that price, and cannot change it one cent. If we sell the car for more, and we get audited by GM (which we do), we have to send out refund checks to our customers." ... is not consistent with what I've been told. I've been told dealers are not obligated to honor supplier pricing and most will not on a hot car like the Camaro. The 2LT RS I'm pricing for order is MSRP: $31,205; Supplier price: $30,099. This is $1,106 under MSRP but still $527 over invoice. I've spoken with 3 dealers and I don't think any of them will honor this price. Is there a difference in the dealer obligation to honor supplier pricing when it is a car on the lot vs. when you are placing an order? And does the dealer eat the entire $1,106 discount or does GM kick back on this somehow? Thanks for your help.
