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.

I'm pretty sure I know what stealership you're talking about. Their service department sucks too. And they don't treat their loyal customers any better than any first timer off of the street.
It's not illegal for them to price the way they do, but it sure was cool when they got stuck with a bunch of overpriced SSR's right when GM decided to up the horsepower in the new ones.

GM's not the only one,this one just arrived at our dealership last friday (in an enclosed trailer I might add) and we added a $20K markup to it.Got $25K over for the last model:






Making the asking price $102,295.
This is in line with what all the other dealers I'm talking to are asking...in this market,we shall see:

Question How?!?!

WOW!!! That is CRAZY!!!!
That is one really nice looking car though and I'm not really a Ford fan.
How did it jump to 82K? From the sticker price to the 20k mark up it would have gone to 68k, correct? How did they get it to 82k then the mark up to 102k?
Just inquiring on how the dealerships can mark it up that much.
Thanks for taking the pics John!!!
