I understand your pain. unfortunately there will be from the dealers that like to do that sort of thing. It is sad that they are always looking for shatever short term profit they can gain, even at the expense of long term customers.
There will be price gouging on the Camaro just like any other high demand vehicle simply becasue GM will not be able to give every dealer 10 of them right off the bat... they will have to trickle into dealers showrooms, which means first come first serve... believe it or not, there are people who will be willing to pay a few thousand over sticker for them.

I went to a dealership this weekend and we was talking about a new silverado and then we started talking about the new camaro. We was talking and out of no where he said that they are going to start out at 40,000 i said 40,000 I'm thinking more about 30,000 then he said that the aren't going to be mass produced like in 69. I should have set him straight but i didn't and say then why did bob lutz say that they are planning on selling 150,000 a year isn't that mass produced. So i asked him if he was talking just for the first year and he said no what an idiot.
there is a point where you do a 180* and leave.
I know a lot of people that are conviced that Camaro will cost over 40k. When I ask them why they would price it the same as a Corvette, it looks like the hampster inside just took a header into the wheel.

Even my own father commented that it will probably be pretty expensive. I asked him why he woud think that since the Mustang isn't ridiculously overpriced and the Camaro has always been in Mustang 'territory' as far as price goes.
He wasn't sure how to answer and said the the Camaro LOOKS expensive.
I suppose that's a good reason for people to think it'll cost so much. LOL

I think an expensive looking car is exactly what GM needs here. Tons people comment on my parents Soltice thinking it's very expensive. I hope they can do the same thing with the Camaro, but also make sure they advertise it's true price.

I have so many people comment that it'll probably start around $40,000. Or just that it's going to be very espensive in general.

I'm POSITIVE it will sell for more than MSRP, atleast for a while. When the S2000 first came out, some went for DOUBLE. The current GT500 should be a good indicator as well (still going for $25k over MSRP). ****, the Honda Odyssey (A MINIVAN!!) was SELLING for $5k over msrp for most of its first year. Same with the Ridgeline (A V6 TRUCK!).

Like I said before. My Chevy-Cadillac delear doesn't markup any vehicle over MSRP. He has a Z06 and XLR-V in his showroom, both of which are priced at MSRP.
Shop around for a dealer that wants your continued business, and not to just make that one time sale.

i work at a dealership as well and we have zero mark up on the cars as well because we aren't allowed to, we're owned by UAG. . . BUT, on cars that have zero problems selling, we add either a "Security Package" or "Package A" which both go AND SELL for $2,995 above msrp. "Package A" includes a chrome exhaust tip, splash guards and wheel locks. The "Security Package" includes wheel locks. LOL i know its retarded, I hate it as well, but it is very VERY common in the industry.

He comes back to me with "But but but all of our cars come with them".
So I tell him fine, take it off or sell it to me for $50. They have sold it to me for $50. The one time they didn't I walked and bought the exact car with the exact "package" at another dealer for far less. It helps when you find a dealer that sells parts on line at cost and know the true cost of those add-ons.
