IROCZJEFF, you make a great point about the reality of a free market, and normally it wouldn't seem so bad...but in this case, we're talking about the possible success or failure of our (by "our" I mean nearly everybody on this forum) favorite car, and GM as a whole, which is very important to many of us here too. I want to see GM continue to succeed (despite all the media talk of failure), and would hate to see individual dealers reduce the chances of that by being greedy.

KarlChev,
Thanks for the info. Keep us posted. All I know is they(the dealerships) better honor GM Employee discounts and Supplier Discounts, or I'm going to be very |

Currently the only car not available by GMS discount is the corvette ZR1.

I totally get that salesmen/women need food on their tables too and that dealerships need to bring in money but as Tag stated earlier.
Some of us work hard as hell just to make the MSRP amount and to have that jump up a few thousand more will break a lot of people, including me. Yes some of the special/limited editions have to be marked up but that's for the rich guys to deal with. At MSRP or less will have me at the dealership, like most at the board I will keep searching dealerships to make that happen.

This isn't really to be an issue I can handle over here. With all the import costs and such, the best I can do is try and find the dealers with the best price. Getting down to MSRP is a pipedream.

I would guess that there will be around $2k in markup from Invoice to MSRP.
We will honor anyone who qualifies for GMS, Supplier, Millitary Discount, College Student, etc. I do it on Vette's all the time. The only vehicle that does not qualify is the ZR1 I believe. We didn't become the largest Chevy dealership in the midwest by making cutomers unhappy. What we ask for, and what we take are always going to be different. If there are cars on the lot that are not spoken for, deals can be had. I think a few might have misunderstood me. I don't expect us to markup any regular Camaro's. However, if there are limited edition vehicles, then they will bring a premium price. If someone wants to pay $5k extra, who am I to tell him not too? I don't understand the problem with the concept of supply and demand. Let me ask a question, if you bought your new Camaro, and as you drove off the lot, someone offered you $5k more for it than you bought it for, would you take it, if you knew you could go buy another one? Or would that be immoral and greedy? |

If they offered, I don't see a problem with that. If you asked them to pay 5k more, that's immoral/greedy.
At least thta's how I see it. |

There's a College Student discount? Is it necessary to be a full time student?

I ordered a 1994 Z28 on president's day (mid february) in upstate NY and didn't get an allocation until a few days before they ceased production on 1994's (end of august?) The dealer was nice enough to pull some strings and get them to switch it to a 1995 model and I got it in September of 1994. |

The way it was described to us at a regional meeting was, like any new model, it will be allocated. After that, it is planned to be open allocation - meaning order what you want. Corvettes were on open allocation a few months ago due to slow sales. |
