My day at the dealerships.
First dealership: (1 Bumblebee on the lot)
I look at the bumblebee and tell the salesman I'm actually looking for a SIM 2SS/RS M6, he proceeds to tell me that they could probably order one but I'd be looking at about $50k. I told him I was looking to pay around $38k tops for exactly what I wanted, he of course proceeded to throw out false msrp #'s like a 2LT being around 30k and a 1SS around $35k. I took his card and left. BTW: sticker on the bumblebee on the lot... $67,995 Second Dealership: (No camaros) I tell the salesman I wanted a camaro he looks at whats coming in and tells me I should be looking to spend $40k minimum for an LT. Then he proceeds to tell me that the camaro isn't for everyone. I left. Third Dealership: (1 camaro purchased from the nearby chevy dealership) I asked them what they were expecting to get for their camaro that had 300 miles on it and a paint job that looked like they buffed it with rocks. He told me $61,995. I called it a day.

how much is it to ship a car to hawaii ? If dealers over there are marking up like crazy it could be cheaper to buy in CA under MSRP and ship it.

Around $1500 so even at msrp usaa$750 discount plus $500 from the 60 return policy it's still way cheaper to get it from Cali.
lol it may not be able to spread it's wings but ill be crusing in style. In terms of camaros on island I've seen about 3 although I've heard of about 5 including the one at the first dealership that the manager is "driving"

You want to have some fun and put them on the spot? Go to camaro.spasticsquirel.com and find a vin of one of the cars that is built for the dealership there in Hawaii.
Print out a copy of the window sticker bring it along with you and ask "why you raping me" By the way 30k is about right for a fully loaded 2LT. That is about what I paid after I added the painted engine cover, RJT paint, Rally Sport, Sunroof, and stripes. |
