Unfortunately, the cars belong to the dealer and they can sell them for 100k if someone is willing to spend the jack. It's gonna happen sure as Saddam's neck snapped like a twig.

Oh, I know it's going to happen. I've done the letter thing once and handed it off to the salesman at their front door. I told him he really screwed up because I wanted to see the pricing on a Formula, he wouldn't show me, I took off, and bought a Camaro. It was great rolling up there in my new Camaro telling off that salesman. What a jerk.

Long time troller here, but I felt this post deserved a response. Just wanted to say thanks Ramrod for taking the time to do this, I was going to call around (specificaly midway, friend baught a chevy there) and see what dealers were planning on selling at msrp but after your research I may just have to go with plan b which is buy it from Rick Daniel and have it delivered to the idiot dealers here in az..

I mean, I think it is ridiculous that they are going to makr it up and I know people will buy it at mark up once it arrives. Those people do not understand the value of a dollar. I also, do not like to waste money and I REFUSE to pay over MSRP. Although I want to be one of the first with a Camaro, I will not do so at the cost of 3, 5, or even 10 thousand dollars over sticker. |

Sounds like the average sales pitch. They say that to make u reconsider ASAP on getting it, and dealing with them so they can get their commission money. |

yeah. I figured that out today. Well, sort of. Because he also told me that GM wasn't going to advertise this car...:eek:. I felt like asking him "How stupid do you think I am?" Anyways, just today I saw this ENORMOUS 20' x20' Camaro poster/banner in a local dealer's 3 story showroom...It's still a year and a half untill the car comes out! How can he call that "not advertising?"

Once again autmakers are hurt becasue of the greed by dealers. Look at how many GT's are sitting on most large Ford lots that need to be sold by months end. I remember looking at the GT's when they came out and how they were $5K over for just the basic black on black v8 model. Then ad the $15K+ for GT500.
If the dealers would make the usually $$ instead of trying to get rich quick then GM, Ford and others would make money. Once again I am sure there is little the automakers can do about the greed of the dealers. |

Please correct me if im wrong, but does not GM, Ford ect pay the dealers a certain amount yearly or monthly, or whatever period, to have their cars there at the dealership? If this really is the case could GM, Ford ect just take a certain percentage off of this "allowance" for how much the dealers go over the MSRP? could this not curb the dealers greed?

as far as i know the dealers pay the manufacturer a lease fee to have the cars on the lot. i used to be a lot guy at a pontiac dealer and i can remember seeing inventory sheets with dollar values after every car. i could be wrong though.

I believe the dealers actually buy the vehicles from the manufacturer (known as dealer invoice). However, when they sell it, the manufacturer gives them a piece back (that's what you always hear referred to as "dealer incentives"). Then, there is also "holdback", which near as I can tell is the "fee paid to the seller". All of this is why they will sell you a car for "invoice" or even "$100 under invoice".
For the record....don't ever let a car salesman tell you that they aren't making any money off of any car deal. They are full of it. If they won't make any money on it, they won't sell it to you. Every car a dealer sells brings in some profit. How much is a different issue. |
