The real question is, who would disgrace a Camaro by smoking in it?!?!?!? Sounds like he was trying to do your car a favor.

We are lucky to get it for MSRP! Let's not push it!

what has my dealer done for me? well, every time they receive a Camaro I get an email to come in and see it due to the fact that I am waiting for my car and they understand the desire. I've been given some transformers display stuff to keep with the new car. None of it has been very big. But they are really nice and understanding at my dealer (the whole staff). Oh and I am getting it for MSRP which should be mandatory but unfortunately isnt at most dealers.

From what I am understanding if a dealer sells at MSRP they are only making Approx $2000

Bungo · 05-23-2009, 07:18 AM

which is relatively normal boatingbent, when the new VW GTI's and rabbits first were release the profit on them from invoice to msrp was about $1000 when all was said and done. So it wouldnt surprise me if it was only 2K they were making. Which is probably why alot of the Camaros shipped to the dealers for the release had alot of accessories placed onto the car. Dealers make a decent profit on parts and accessories so in relation the more parts and accessories stuck onto a car it appears cheap but can actually help the dealer regain alot of cash in the long run. (hence the BS paint protection and undercoating some dealers "add")

Seriously, I'm quitting just because I'm getting the car. I hate how my current car always smells like smoke.
