Thinking of paying OVER MSRP? Be warned! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Brokers are calling dealerships now, offering $3000+ over sticker for "lot cars".....WITHOUT the card....Meaning, they buy it and resell it as "USED" to another dealer.

If you are a lurker, and are planning to pay more than MSRP, ask if the car has a full warranty, or when the warranty started.

Yes, this buy number is rising, so expect more horror stories from buyers who's cars all of a sudden become "unavailable".

Sad, but as long as people are willing to pay to be the first, someone will be there to get them what they want.

That's really screwed up. It's not like this is a low volume car.

Unbelievable. What is it that PT Barnum said? "There's a sucker born every minute?"

Thanks for the post, Scotty. You're doing a great service by warning people about this practice!

I don't get it. The dealers here are staying at MSRP and NOT budging from that.

Some people have the "I want it now" attitude and are willing to throw away money it seams..

What does "without the card" mean?

I beg to differ...

We give no dealer any favoritism here...

I'm crossing my fingers and toes and hoping my car gets built soon and delivered and I am done with this awful process.
