inferno orange metallic/dealer mark up

Hello to all my fellow camaro lovers.Our car is almost here!First of all I would like to thank all of you guys for all the information that you made available about our beloved car.I currently have on order a 2ss/rs,iom with iom interior,sunroof,and Hurst shifter.I sent my deposit to a dealer that i met on e-bay.I did sufficient research and found the dealer to be repeatable so i sent a 2000$ deposit and agreed to pay the 4000$ mark up.That is something that normally would never do but I wanted to own one of the first camaro to hit the street.I hope i didn't go wrong.I have read on different threads about the iom color.I went to all the dealerships here in my home town and i can't find a iom car anywhere.i recently found some pictures of a 2008 black and orange hayabusa parked beside a iom solstice and the colors looks identical.Some pictures are more red than orange but i have a 08 busa that's black and orange if my camaro is that color orange i would be ecstatic.My worst fear is that i am going to end up with a dull red tomato soup looking car and with the same color interior.A HOT MESS!!!If anybody can give me some food for thought it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

wow $4000 over msrp? that is absolutely insane, you should have done more research and found a dealer that guarantees msrp and have it drop shipped to a local dealer. And a $2000 deposit is even more crazy? was it refundable?

IOM looks spectaular in the sun, but in the shade it does look a litte tomato-y.

The busa and 07 GSXR 1000 I believe are a little more Orange, but in UV the IOM is very close. The big difference and I'm not 100% is the pearl in the color of the IOM vs Suz metallic. THe IOM will look more red with less light. Theirs a lot of pic on this sight of IOM check it out.

Paying over MSRP is definitely crazy. I would reconsider going through that dealer. Search for the MSRP dealer list.

Sorry. I don't think we were trying to piss on your wheaties. Just the fact that paying over MSRP is not good for anyone. There is no reason dealers should be doing that. Too many dealers out there. And I don't think any dealer can promise you a car by a specific date at this point.

We had two dealer try that second sticker crap with us and the found a great dealership to work with that guaranteed us MSRP. Even at that I thought it was more the generous, but seeing that it was new and I was not going to get much better without driving all over BFE. WE settled for MSRP.

Damn, well you are gonna get your car, but we have pushed people not to pay over msrp. There are plenty of dealers out there that are selling the car where it should be. IDK what you can do.

yea i got a little disappointed a the chevy dealership in my town.I asked them about the camaro at first they wouldn't entertain the idea of ordering a camaro but once i told them what i had done they said exactly what you said that there is no way to guarantee a car by a certain delivery time and they were supposed to get 20 cars in the first cars being v6's.They also suggested that they would probably be asking over sticker but if i could get my deposit back they would sell me one for ONLY 2000$ OVER STICKER.Prime example of what's wrong with the auto industry!!:flag2:

Buff Whelan Chevrolet in Sterling Hts, Mich. still has unfilled allocations for 30 per their ad in last weeks paper. You should be able to get MSRP there. DO NOT pay over...there is no reason to.
Lets not allow this car to go crazy in the market like the GT500 did. There is no reason to...its not a limited production car where the manufacturer does'nt make crap on it but the dealer does...
