Dealer recommendation in East TX. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ForensicDoc · 09-23-2012, 11:07 AM

I have been lurking around here for a while and this is my first post. I was able to test drive a ZL1 this past weekend and love the car. I want to order one but all of my local dealers seem to be marking up the cars from $5,000 to $10,000 over sticker. I don't mind paying MSRP but I will not pay over sticker. If anyone on here can recommend a dealer in East Texas (I am in Tyler) that would let me order a car for MSRP I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Brian Prosser at Reliable Chevrolet in Richardson Texas. He treated me awesome and is a true professional. Got it at MSRP. Had same issues looking in Tyler.

I bought my 2011 SS at Reliable and a coworker bought a 2012 LT there. We live in the Cedar Creek Lake area. They treated us pretty good. They had a ton of Camaros in stock. It looks like they have 28 in stock right now including a convertible ZL1 that they have listed for a few bucks under MSRP.

haha that is Peltier for you! Always have one in stock but price doesn't match up all the time haha.

I bought 5 vehicles from them in the last 5 years....and one of those was a new 2008 3LT Z51 JSM Corvette ! Still couldn't deal...

Thanks everyone. In touch with one dealer that has an allocation and will deal. Hopefully it will work out. If not I will move on to the other suggestions on here.

Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone. Deal was good so my order was placed on Friday. Now to try and patiently wait.

masterchiefbt · 09-29-2012, 09:02 PM

So who did you go with?

ForensicDoc · 09-29-2012, 10:11 PM

I just started working my way out from Tyler. Next closest was Peters in Longview. MSRP on the car and great deal on my trade. They didn't dick me around at all.

dpslugger12 · 09-29-2012, 10:36 PM

So does that mean I win? Just kidding but good choice.. Did you talk to Issac?

ForensicDoc · 09-30-2012, 12:22 AM

Actually I got a response from one of their online people, Brian Botkin. Worked the whole deal through emails. He even gave me a price on my BMW sight unseen. I took it down there today so they could take a look at it and make the numbers solid.
