I spoke to the folks over at Chevrolet of Bellevue (Washington) and they told me that the Camaro would likely be MSRP, not over or under. They are not doing a waiting list at the moment, but when they do it will be $500 - $1000 deposit (non-refundable, I believe) that would go towards the cost of the car.
As TG and others are planning, I have two friends from Alaska coming down to buy theirs as well. We may get another good-sized group together in Western Washington and see if we can't work something out. This is the only Chevy dealer that I've spoken with as of yet, but I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to find the best one before we buy. The dealership has recently moved to new owners, so I'm not sure of the name, but the number and address are correct: Chevrolet Hummer of Bellevue 430 116th AVE NE Bellevue, WA 98004 PH: 425-545-8931 FAX: 425-709-3355 |

And the first west coast dealer has been named. I'm glad WA has one. Now I just have to find one a bit south in CA.

Before we start getting too far ahead of ourselves... has anyone actually ever heard of a dealership giving discounts based on quantity? I mean, other than fleet discounts for a business.
I think we'd have to find a dealership that was silly enough to believe they wouldn't be able to sell all of their Camaros without help from us. I'll call my dealership this afternoon and see how silly they are. |

You're going to have trouble finding a dealership that is actually going to HAVE multiple units to sell (that aren't spoken for). For example, we're a platinum status dealership, and we have <B>two</B> 2008 Malibu allocations for the first shipment.
I'm not saying you won't be able to get volume discounts, I'm just saying you're not going to find a dealership where you can get 10 Camaros as soon as they come out. |

So this is going back to what has been discussed on multiple threads before about the importance of a waiting list. Do those two spots account for the special orders as well, or is that two for the lot and additional cars to cover all orders placed before the release date?

The way it works is that every dealership gets a certain allotment of cars. A waiting list occurs when the dealership has more orders for these cars than it has allotments.
For example, our dealership has no waiting list to order a 2008 Corvette Z06, or C6, but the dealership down the street does. This is because our dealership has a larger allotment of cars than they do. Simple as pie. So how does this relate to the Camaro? It basically means that if there is a waiting list, there will be no cars on the lot. The only exception would be if a dealership wanted a Camaro to "show", which was not for sale. Otherwise, until the waiting list is tapped out, there will be no Camaros on the lot. Hope this clears things up. |

I just spoke with a sales manager from Priority Chevy in Norfolk VA. He stated to me that from his understanding production will start in Feb 2009. I asked about a waiting list or deposit... He stated to me that if there is anyone that has a waiting list or is taking deposits you might want to think twice about dealing with them. He stated Corporate Chevy has not given them hardly any information and if there are dealerships taking money, he is doubtful that deposit will guarentee anyone anything.
Priority is about the largest Chevy dealership in Hampton Roads and well trusted. He took my name and number and told me that he would contact me should he hear anything.

what part of TN? I have family there and my dad who's on this forum might be able to help. I know of a couple of dealerships I'd look into around the tri cities area. I honestly don't know what their stance is right now. I'll email my dad and see if he can find something out.

As far as I know you can order as GM car from any GM dealer so I am putting this dealer because they would not go above MSRP for the Hummer. They should have a Chevy franchise soon anyway, I have a close relative who works there

Good Chevrolet in Renton, WA stated that they would be at or below msrp. Also, the only list they have is for calling people when they can order one.
Brett Chevrolet in Kent, WA will charge more than msrp. |
