Excellent point about the dealers raising MSRP.
How about....the gov't mandating that dealers can't "gouge" by raising the price of the vehicle over MSRP AND give a "rebate/discount."
I mean...what is the use of a rebate when I go to my dealer to only find out that Ancira tacked on 2K to the MSRP for the LT's and 5K to the MSRP for the SS's. That 3K the gov't offers should be 3K OFF THE MSRP of a vehicle....without an upcharge on the MSRP.
I'd be willing to be there are a number of people right here who think they "might" be able to afford one, but will realize once they crunch the #'s that it will be VERY tight in their payments. Those people might be contemplating whether or not to buy the new car...(not just a Camaro).
That 3K could bring that car just withing their budget allowing the sale of the vehicle...allowing the automaker (not GM specific) to make a dollar. Add all of those people up...cause you know there are THOUSANDS out there who are just a bit shy of being able to get that new car and this could make that sale possible.
The only problem....
The automakers would HAVE to sell more to make this work. We already see 10k off Dodge Rams. I've even seen the "Buy a Tundra and get a car for free." If these already in place discounts don't do it.....why should the 3k off MSRP??
