Whats wrong W/ GM
 

A little over a year ago I stop in at a K.C Chevy dealer. I was looking at a new Z06 corvette. They had 3 units in stock when I inquired about pricing I was told to add 25,000.00 over their retail price which was alreally over Gms MSRP by 2,500.00.Making them about 100,000.00 plus tax. So I walked away thinking I wait until the new camaro comes out. Today I stoped by the same dealership to ask about the camaros deliverly time. I was told they had already persold 17 units of ther 20 unit alotment. They had 3 cars left to sell which would sell for 25,000.00 over there MSRP. They also had 2 ZR1's on the show room floor which were 35,000.00 over msrp . Chevy should pick up production of these cars And demand the dealers to only sell at Gm's MSRP. They might sell some units instead of scaring customers away.

Greed - plain and simple.

That and they know there are people out there willing to pay that really sucks becuase you really have a hard time finding a good deal that is both good for you and the dealership.

greed by that dealer, not gm. some dealers will refuse to sell over msrp while others will take as much as possible. i would try a diff. dealer myself.

You are definitely dealing with the wrong dealership. I haven't heard of one dealer going above msrp on camaro's yet. they won't be that hard to get ahold of.

With the chance that they will be not be in the good graces of buyers they obviously don't get it.How can there be a loss on selling cars at GM with this going on?

Like others say, find another dealer.

I might be looking when they hit the floor and after I test drive one for real and feel what one is like I will order one and only if it is a car that feels like it looks. The car will sell itself and I want one built for me unless they actually have it together and have a yellow one with the right options on the lot.

I am not sure if I will need a V8 or if I will be happy with a V6 until I drive the V6. If the V6 does really good I will get one if not we will have to step up to a V8.

Good luck with your search for a good dealer and let us know how it goes.

Agree 100%. My family buys a lot of GM vehicles and we use a small town dealer. We tell him what we want and they will give you their price with zero haggle. I always price check and he is always under all the other dealers. Small town dealers are the way to go.

I laughed the other day we went into an automall to check out a new maxima for my mom and the salesman had zero knowledge of the car she was selling. I believe I taught her more about the car she was selling.

That was implied, all future messages will be accompanied with a disclaimer.

Always beware of "the dealer posted price" instead of MSRP (manufacturers suggested retail price). Chances are if there is a "market adjustment" or an "ammended" window sticker you are not going to get the best deal or even a fair deal. It's mental gymnastics and time to find another dealer.

coolwelder, under that scenario I would probably advise telling the salesman that his mother is a 3 dollar whore before walking out and heading to another dealership. If it's true that 17 people are going to agree to pay $25,000 abover sticker for a new Camaro, then I want the phone numbers of those 17 people so I can sell them copies of my new "GET RICH QUICK" CASSETTE TAPE PROGRAM...YOU'RE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK.
