I gotta say, just like I said in early 2009 when there were dealers asking up to 10k over for the first Camaros, I have no problem with it. Nobody is forced to buy it.
I promise you, if I could sell dirt from my yard to people who were willing to buy it, I'd sell it. People don't have to buy it.
I'm on the dealers side here. At least they aren't hiding it. They are being ethical about it. Straight up, you want one, msrp is this, we want this ;lus 20k. Take it or leave it. Beauty of it all, the dealer down the street can sell them for only 5 or 10 over msrp and sell a ton. UNLESS, they dealer across town will sell them for right at msrp. It could be argued, in this situation, that if the dealer across town sold all of his first, and for right at msrp, he is a moron. If all of them got to sell 10 in a given time, and the other dealers average selling theirs for 5k over, then dealer across town just lost 50 thousand dollars. Probably about 150% of his profit.
I agree with all of you. I'm not paying that much over msrp for much of anything.
I will say this though......... If it meant having to wait for a year or two, I'd have paid 5k over msrp for my current car.
Oh, ya, I got some dirt for sale, just PM me for pricing.
