As an FYI, Ebay has teams out there encouraging them to put new car listings on their site (So EBay can make money). I (personally) see no point in using EBay unless it's for a used vehicle.
As for orders, the dealerships can do what they want with the allocation. Pre-orders, lot cars, whatever. If they order two lot cars, then have a customer come in - they can work it the way they want. There's no laws or rules here. I see no reason to burn someone for this. And this isn't the first time, and won't be the last. |

I agree with Scotty.
For the record, I have never seen a dealer on any forum (Corvette, Camaro, GM, etc.) win an argument with forum members when it comes to sales practices, philosophy or the like. I think that Dan tried to explain his side calmly but as you can see, it's a "NO WIN" proposition. I tried it when I first joined this forum, got in a big argument and realized what I'm doing here now is more productive. Just my humble opinion.

and YOU TURNED HIM AWAY ?!?!?!?! that is not about a deposit.. that is about your desire to sell on ebay.. GREED.. if he would of preordered it, it would be getting made just for him.. and he wouldnt care if it came in now or 4 months from now BECAUSE he was EXCITED and motivated about CHEVY and WANTED TO PREORDER a CAMAO and BE IN the RUSH (JOY, not quick)... BUT YOU TOLD HIM NO... SO instead of really selling a car to a local down the street guy whoe wanted to give you thousands of dollars you turned him down and told him you didnt want to pre-order a CAMARO for him...

What's the actual MSRP of the car and what's your reserve price set at?
I really don't understand what kind of economic environment dealers think we're in. Screwing people when everyone is having a hard time is generally a terrible idea. |

There is a formula for distribution (Covered in the forums countless times) and when a dealer has consensus to submit an order, they will do so, sold or not...It's a straw pulling thing that I'm sure no one likes, not even me...but that's how it works, that's how it's done by all manufacturers. They have a right to the product they're licensed to sell, and cannot be told that because one isn't "sold" you can't have it. The great thing is, this is the USA. You can buy from who ever makes you comfortable, your choice. And THANKS to our troops who have fought for our freedoms such as this little one, past, present, and future. :flag1: |
