GM having trouble selling Camaro??

[GregWeld]

Nobody will buy them -- because have you seen the additional dealer markup these dickwad car lots are asking for??

I've seen 10K plus -- that's a hell of a markup on a 35K car!

And they wonder why they're bankrupt...

Same up north here Greg. 10k mark up on SS and RS both. Even up in Skagit Co. Land of the truck sellers.

I drove one this week in fact from a customer of mine. Same POS chevy it has always been. They intend to put out cars with cheap plastic parts. It's garbage, I can see why it doesn't sell. Once GM start making cars that don't look and feel cheap, they will be much better off. Sorry, I have to call it like I see it.

I cant blame GM on this, it's the dealers marking them up.and for the big Dummies willing to pay 10k over sticker? shame on them! remember when the shelby GT500 was new? 20k+ markups!!! they killed the T-bird too. Dealers should be happy anyones buying cars! Sports cars are bought for more than just transportation. How about the new(now already dead) Turbo Cobalt? a buddy has one and I think its a helluva car for 24k added tune - now over 300hp! -handles great(18" tires) Brembo brakes. I'd of bought one for the wife but she dosent want payments after the new cars are out for a while the "market adjustment" will go away. After all you should know better to buy the first year a car is made(84 vette-remember that? - wait a year or two till they are de-bugged! I believe they are making cars alot better than the 70's-80's for sure and shame on us for buying foreign cars(not me except for having a couple of old bugs) I believe in keeping our $ here in the US as I care more about where I am glad to be living than overseas.

Gen 5 .org lists a few dozen dealers selling @ or below sticker. Its also BS that they are not selling. I passed on on the way fishing planed on test driving on the way back. Sold it 2 hrs after it hit the lot.

every dealer in my area has them for $7K over msrp or so. That's what is killing the sales, absolutely stupid to hold out for this when they aren't selling any cars to begin with.

I have yet to see a new Camaro on the road. I'm sure there are some, but I have still not seen a single one in the Sacramento area.

I was at a show last Sunday - on a dealers lot... They had 5 V8's on the lot - all $9995 over MSRP... They were still there at the end of the day, and all anyone could talk about was what a "rip off" this dealer was... despite them supporting a hot rod show.

I've paid MSRP for 2 cars in my life - a special ordered 650i Convertible... and an M5... (the M5 sucked but that's another discussion and I have since sold it). I also waited for the SRT 8 300 to come off in price and bought one at a steep discount (since sold it too -- too much plastic and it was noisy even with the MagnaFlow exhaust).

I'd buy a new Camaro tomorrow but won't out of spite for the stupid dealers. Besides which - I HATE THE PROCESS of buying a new car. You have to spend all day with some toothless moron that doesn't know a 6 from an 8... can't make a sale... and can't quote a price even if you offered MSRP!

Now - ask me how I really feel....

I have yet to see one at a dealership. Probably have to venture to a bigger city. I heard the 3 that one local dealer had went for 3-7K over sticker, so it actually seems like a shortage of supply.
