I live in Tustin, when I called Tustin Chevrolet to order mine back in Oct. they took days to call me back, and fed me that over msrp crap too. I called other dealers most had no clue, but I did find two that gave me a straight story, and would order for me for msrp and $500 refundable deposit. I went with Selman Chevrolet, in Orange CA. Mike Bradley is my salesman. They have been great through the whole process, highly recommended!

On another note, today one of my friends got a call from a friend, they saw a truck going south down Jamboree after the 5 fwy, with 6 Camaros on it. Hooray! Mine will be here soon!

 

Just got off the phone with a dealer in Oklahoma who has a 2SS enroute.(Due Mon.27th) Victory red with black stripes, sunroof, cover, the whole works. Just the car I would have ordered. I was thinking sweet. Very nice guy. Guaranteed to let me have it. Offered to fly me in and everything(since I live in Texas). But I know Oklahoma and am willing to drive I declined and told him to have it ready and call me. But then he says 10g's over sticker. Reluctantly I had to tell him where to stick his sticker. Man there is no way I can(or would) swing 50g's for a new camaro no matter how much I'd love to.

 

I ordered mine 3/14/2009 at $500 below sticker. Plus i should get the credit union discount too. Just have to check with dealer.

 

Got mine for 1400.00 under MSRP............but my best friends owns the dealerahip and i have bought over 30 news cars and trucks over the years from him and his family..Black SS.........

 

If you look at the post three or four above mine there are two quotes in someone's sig about what I posted. I guess I made an obscure effort at comedy on those that must've come off wrong? I figured if someone was allowed to use them in their sig,it wouldn't offend anyone if I played off them? Maybe you can explain the difference to me?

 

It is more than $500 TO $1000 and you are forgetting the 3% holdback and other incentives that GM gives. Dealers can sell cars all day at invoice and still make a profit. Of course since they are all hurting right now they are looking at keeping the lights on and making the number which will hurt them in the long run when customers decide to avoid them like the plague. I have identified three dealers in my area that I would never do business with.

 

IMO asking MSRP is operating above board. To think a dealer is obligated to sell anyone at invoice is living in a dream world. Yes it would be great if things were so well that all dealers handed out free premium floor mats and 500 gallons of gas. Friends,those day's are gone. And there not going to improve anytime soon.

 

they're/there

 

My MSRP was 35425. for 2SS with RS package and manual trans nothing more... I paid 35425. for the car and 38210. out the door.

 

TRUE STORY: I bought a new z28 in 1993 and my buddy bought the 1993 Trans Am. This of course being the newest, bada$$ body style out there (sound familiar). Before I bought mine, a bunch of guys had slightly used ones for $33,000. I waited just a few months for the panic to wear off the public and then bought brand new for $23,000 out the door. I think I will wait and do the same this time around too. There were tons of guys back in 93 and 94 trying to dump used cars with 25,000 miles on them for $5000 over the new price, they sure felt stupid in the long run. Whatever you do guys, just dont get stuck paying $40k for a car, then life changes and your 20,000 upside down
I think everything else that is driving the price and demand up will wear thin in a reasonable amount of time.

 

Pardon my ignorance but I am going to talk to the dealer tomorrow I don’t know if I am going to order it yet or not. However that being said if I do strike a deal what should I get from them so that they can’t get me with a bait and switch? Is there a specific letter or paper that I should get that would lock in my deal? Sorry I have never bought from a dealer…

 

Have them give you a copy of the workbench order when they place it. There were comments on mine dealing with deposit and incentives. Just get it in writing.

 

I recently ordered my IO/2SS/RS from DIVER CHEVROLET in DE. I was in the Marines, so i use USAA for insurance. I went through USAA for financing and they referred me to this dealership that quoted me the camaro at invoice. I spoke to Steve Chizick and he said that when the camaro arrives; with market adjustment, I'll pay what it's invoiced at. I hope this is on point. Anyways, if anyone is interested here's the info:

DIVER CHEVROLET
2101 Pennsylvania Ave · Wilmington, DE 19806
SALES (302) 295-2109 · SERVICE (302) 482-8359

P.S. if anyone has ever dealt with them please advice.
(update) I have heard nothing but positive feed back from forum members in regards to this dealership.

 

Anytime Ive seen "market adjustment" on a sticker it has been another term for dealer markup. I hope the guy wasnt double talking you as in, youll pay invoice + "market adjustment" where market adjustment/dealer markup can be whatever they make up.

 

Our closest dealer had the 2SS models tagged with a +4K "market adjustment" and could not understand why they sat there for a month. The dealers selling at sticker price can't keep them around here. They finally dropped their prices. If people will not pay these mark ups they will drop the price.
