Just look at what some Chevy dealers are doing, its no different. You just have to find an honourable dealer. They are out there.

How does a price tag make the car a joke?

....and I thought a brazen 8 grand was a lot to add on for nothing when i saw my first ZL-1 at the showroom! 50 K???? I'd buy a '69 RS/SS with the markup alone!

Always thought the Market Adjustment was a load of crap!

flyinglow57 · 09-23-2014, 06:22 PM

they are convincing you to buy an srt because they have them and can make the deal right now. little money now is better than little more money possibly later

I think the Hell Cat is a pretty nice car. So is the Z/28.

Lesson learned-- wait a couple of years, someone will have invariably put one in a garage and will only have driven it on nice days, and some new car made from unobtainum will have caught their attention, and suddenly there's a nicely depreciated and nearly-new, well-preserved car sitting right there for a quick sale in the used market.

It still amazes me all the super low-mile, barely driven 2010-2011 SS's that come up for sale. A lot of those early 2010 cars were going for buku-bucks over MSRP when they were new, too.

Lol steady making a lightly modded ZL1 look like a steal and no hype needed.

MRREVINTO7 · 09-23-2014, 06:35 PM

was at chevy dealer camaro show on sunday ..smithtown chevy long island ny ..car was a blk 14 z28 on display 75k and there was a rebate of like 2-3 grand if i was told right no mark up infact trying to sell it as it was a left over ..they are pretty fair dealer ..ask for mitch in sales he was my sale guy and was excellent..i just bought a 14 chevy ss from him

rberns · 09-23-2014, 06:41 PM

its foolish to say the hell cat is a joke when you didn't even drive it. All you did was look at it. To say that the dealership is a joke would be much more appropriate.

Hey, if someone doesn't know how to shop for deals, go with their established trusted sales resources, and/or dicker on pricing... then who and what's the real joke?

Omg is that serious right there? 144k for a Z/28?? You can get a 652 hp Z/28 from CALLAWAY for 105k no mark up lol.

I guess every dealer is different then? Sorry guy's I thought all dealers were the same but you learn something every day right?

How do you make a deal with a dealership saying there car is a rip off and you should buy a SRT or SRT8? Not to mention they were rude it was a joke.

skipinminn · 09-23-2014, 06:53 PM

They did the same thing when this came out! Was supposed to be the POORMANS hotrod. MSRP was supposed to be $32,000 could find one on a showroom floor wasn't marked up to $50,000 Plus.

LBreezie · 09-23-2014, 07:18 PM

My friend just bought the hellcat and when I was talking about it with him he insisted he bought it for msrp (60k). When I asked him about the mark ups he said he didn't have any. Idk if he was lying but he is ridiculous with hemis he has a 2008 srt8 and a 2014 srt8 from sema an it has a edelbrock e force on it and now apparently is getting the hellcat.

Salesman is a retard. The Hellcat is an SRT model.
