As for as not making a lot of money that is true of GM dealers. The difference between MSRP and Invoice is a very narrow margin. Ford allows its dealers to make more money.

It's kind of surprising how much more expensive a camaro is compared to a mustang considering the small margin the dealership gets.

I think there is a profit margin that no one sees but GM and the owner of the GM garage. Another big factor is volume sales discount for the dealer. A dealer will sell below invoice to meet the quota for volume sales. Once quota is met GM gives the dealer incentives be it cash or lower buying price on new stock

This happened to us once. Back in Feb of 08 we ordered our Buick Enclave. While we were waiting for the car to be built GM had a strike. In mid june we received a note that our 08 car would not be built as they retooled for the 09. We talked to the dealer and said fine keep the deal the same and the dealer ordered the 09. The car arrived at the dealer a few days later, and along with it the new pricing. About $1500.00 higher. Because of the timing and strike, the dealership did not have the any of the new paper work until the day after the car arrived.

Of course there is. I am sure they get big bonuses for meeting certain criteria that make up. However, as a consumer the difference between the two invoices is a good chunk of change so it helps to know which invoice you are aiming for to know if you are getting a good deal or not.

Dang 5 spokes went up exponentially. What was it, $470 this year, and $900 msrp next?

Plus, why is preferred pricing on gas guzzler tax MORE than MSRP?? Does not compute? I thought that was a flat fee, regardless.

Yes, I was wondering that myself . ( the 5 spoke rims). Almost double. 2013 says polished aluminum . 2014 says bright aluminum. Asked dealer, guess what? I don't know. Any way ordered 2014 Black 2ss rs convertible IOA trim seats and orange rally stripe with the rims. Production week 7-22. Got it 100 under preferred pricing.
