Dealer mark up?

Since General motors is in financial trouble does it now make any fiscal sense for dealers to now sale the camaro with markups seeing how there futures are tied to gm's successa?

yes, atleast for the first few months.

The law of supply and demand is always in effect no matter what the product is. But the real question is will GM survive long enough to build the fifth gen car.

I ordered mine this past Saturday. They reported having ordered several at $5,000 over MSRP. He said they were only allocated for 12 total. Since I buy a new vehicle every year and get the GM supplier discount they agreed to sell it to me MSRP. They may have been "jerking my chain" but I have been dealing with the same salesman for years.

Maybe some. I ordered mine in Florida 12 Dec - today and the 2LT base was 26,580...which is a little less than the Camaro Builder. All the options I got were the same as. So it will depend on the dealer I think.

I ordered mine today and they sold it at at msrp it was and 2ss and started at 33k. I've seen it sell for 34k as msrp in some other states. Dealer cost is 31k so they aren't making too much at the dealer. I'm surprised since some of the challengers went for more then 5k over msrp around here.

My dealer has only sold half of their allocation of 50 so far. I got mine at MSRP, so I'd assume anyone else could walk in and get MSRP on one too.

They are full of it!
Anyone that pays over MSRP is totally brain dead & gets what they deserve. Ripped Off!

Maybe so! I hate paying MSRP because I get GM Supplier Discount pricing. This is the first time I've paid over invoice in a long time. I just couldn't wait though.

Me too...but I can't wait any longer for this car. Ouch...this hurts so bad to pay MSRP!

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I don't want to wait one or two years to get the discount. I am too stoked!

I have been to 2 different dealers in houston and while both of them tried to add $1000 to MSRP they both agreed to sell it at MSRP. Has anyone had any luck on haggling prices of these different options? I know I cant get the car any cheaper then msrp but what about all the different options, i mean the dealer is making money off of them too.

Courtesy chevrolet in San Diego told me they are charging a $5000 markup on the SS's. I told them I'd take my business elsewhere. Feel sorry for all the fools who are going to pay that.

You get the discount, but they're selling it to you for MSRP, and they've got you convinced that they're giving you a deal? Those jerks don't know how to treat a loyal customer.

Go to a different dealership. There are plenty that will sell it to you at the regular supplier discount price.

I have my ion vert locked in at 1000 under msrp at polar chef in white bear lake mn

The hipe will be over after the first few months and stealers will be forced to sell under MSRP.

Do you guys have MSRP in writing? Just remembering all the grief people went through, watching their ordered car go to the highest bidder. Not every dealer does it, but a lot did for the Mustang and Challenger.

I have mine in writing it says MSRP or less depending on what GM is offering at time of delivery.:D

True! But this is NOT going to be a limited production vehicle, this is not a ZR1. There will be NO shortage of Camaro's, as GM needs to sell ~100,000 a year.

I think it depends on the dealer entirely, I know my local dealer is gonna jack up the price, which is why customers never seem to come back to him for a 2nd car after. But my dealer (not local to me) I purchased 2 of my cars from, him and his salesman never force anything. It's almost a dream dealership, ussally he sells under its quite easy to discuss a price we both can argee on.
