Congratulations Old Timer...sounds like cooler heads prevailed. It's sad that it ever came up in the first place. I'm sure that it has taken much of the fun away. But hopefully, after you drive it off the lot....you can leave it all in your rearview mirror and just enjoy your awesome car. We were all pulling for you...we brothers and sisters of Camaro5 have always got each other's backs.

As for them letting people touch it, no biggie. As for sitting in it, well, I asked them to lock it but leave it on the floor. Sounds like they did not honor that request. Not sure how much that really hurts anything. I would want to sit in it. What can I do anyway. This whole thing has taken all the excitement out of it for me. I will just pick it up tomorrow and be done with it. Will post pic's as soon as I can.

Dinky Toy, thanks for the courtesy. The yellow one was unlocked yesterday and I just looked in and did not sit in it either. Takes a real car fanatic to have that kind of respect and restraint!!

No more talk about news media, etc..... They are selling me the car at the agreed to price. I feel I handled it the best way possible.

Hey OT , do not get disheartened by all this. Many hearts are with you an this, we all want you to enjoy this car.....take some deep breaths and have faith in GM. When you drive it home the excitement will be with you!

Thanks for the pics.... That's my car is mine minus the stipes.... I had to choose today of going to see it at Mac or 50 V6s at Minute Maid. Just got back from the Ball Park. What a showing of Camaros. They will be there all night if any of you haven't made it down.

I'll be posting pics soon too.

I talked to my dealer today and he, the Sale and Business mgr. both told me that I will get the car for the price on my sales receipt.

i hate dealers!!!

It's good to see the issue was resolved oldtimer.

Cam10RS · 05-07-2009, 08:15 PM

I tell them out right that if you try to screw me over I will find every TV and radio station that will run my story about them. News travels fast when its about money, and the dealers knows this.

ezlock83 · 05-07-2009, 08:21 PM

Gm doesn't have control over the dealers as far as mark-ups go. It is that dealers choice. I decided to contact my dealer today and make sure i wasn't going to have a mark-up before I waited until the car came in to find out then. I was happy to find out that I will get my car at MSRP. So that was good news.

I received a call this morning my car was in. I went over to pick it up and found out why GM is struggling so much these days. They would not honor my written agreement to purchase the car at MSRP and said I either paid them an $8000 premium or forget it.

The salesman I ordered the car from apparently left them a couple months ago so I was working with someone I hardly knew. He was on my side but the manager on duty said the paper that the agreement was written on meant nothing to him. It had my order alpha number on it, specified they agreed to sell to me at MSRP and was signed by myself, my salesman and dated. I wish I could remember the manager on duty that I talked to because he lacked any character or integrity. He was so smug and arogant it made me feel like an absolute nothing.

I picked that dealership to order my car from! I walked into their show room and picked them to get my business. I have been in and out of their many times since that August. I have test driven Suburbans on their lot and my saleman knew I would be in the market for one in early 2010.

Bottom line is I got all hyped up with the pre order event, got my car ordered and now this. So, to me, it comes as no surprise why GM is going thru such a hard time. They just lost 6 customers for life. I have 5 drivers in my family, currently, soon to be 6. We are all very upset over this. We have all been waiting for "our" car to come in. They just lost 6 future GM owners to screw 1 customer for 8 grand.

I currently own a 2009 corvette. First thing I am doing this weekend is selling it to Carmax. I will not appear to support them after this. This web site convinced me to give GM another chance and I did. For me, it was a mistake. Sure, some of you will say go to another dealer. No way, I had my deal made for 8 1/2 months just to be screwed. Why give them another chance. I really wish someone with some Integrity at GM would read this and take notice.

By the way, the car was beautiful, just beautiful!!!! I can't describe the way I was taken from sheer joy when I first saw it to the way I felt on my drive home.

As of this morning, 5-7, I have been contacted by the dealer and they have done the right thing and honored my agreement. Issue resolved.
