Hawthorne Chevy SUCKS!
So, I was out w/ a couple friends (wifey, misterjuice etc) and we passed by Hawthorne Chevy and noticed two new camaro's - one red and one yellow.
We stopped by to look at them.
So, the yellow w/ black striped one was a 2LT v6
Leather interior
RS package
Ugly stick on stripes - looked dealer installed
Window sticker had a piece of paper covering the MSRP - it just said call the dealer.
We then looked at the red one. It was a v6 with the 1LT package
options:
6 speed auto
rs package
They had the MSRP covered and had ia piece of paper listing it for $38,995?!?!?!?! Yes, ALMOST $39,000!!!!!
I went to chevy's web site and it should be $27,420!!!
We are talking over $10,000 mark up?!?!?!
I don't even want t know what they want for the yellow one - my guess is probably just over $40,000 as it was a 2LT!
And what would they charge for an SS????? $50,000+????
Now, I understand supply vs. demand........ and "market adjustment" (which is a crock of ***** but legal) but this is just plain stupid!
One could just get a covette for the same price. $10,000+ increase in the price while the economy is in the crapper and GM is in horrible shape is just plain stupid - no wonder GM is where it is now.
I felt really good getting into my challenger  While it may be slower...... it costs a HELL of a lot less

Yup, that's the yellow one.
I went to their web site and for the yellow one they say
"This Car is Awesome!!!! It will not be sold at MSRP however...there is a market adjustment for this in stock vehicle. 3,000 over msrp. Feel free to negotiate"
$3,000 over msrp my @ss - if they raise a lesser model by $10,000+ what would they do for a more optioned car.

Unfrigginbeliveable...
I wish GM could just flood the market with these cars. People actualy belive that with GM in Chap 11, that they are either not making any more. or will stop making them soon, so they eat this crap up.
Stupid people.

I was over at Superior Chevy (rt1 Lawrenceville) getting parts Saturday morning. I was talking to the parts guy (big Camaro guy) and he said they sold one $5k over sticker.

If I had the money to pick one up I would be all over a 1LT / RS in the inferno orange with white stripes....then I'd trade the stock wheels for some 18" LT wheels and call it a throwback to the '92 Heritage edition Camaros.

It should be cheaper to buy without them, and then have them cut and installed at a reputable local shop instead.

Unless you are talking about Hawthorne Chevrolet, Chevrolet Motor Company has no say on what dealers sell the car for. It is illegal for Chevy to dictate the pricing.

This is the same thing the dealers did when the 93 Indy Pace Car package was made available. Very limited in which dealers were getting cars and how many. People were paying $10-20K over sticker for the cars which is so stupid because it would take 15-20 years in a sealed storage building to even get that money back. The guy I bought my 93 Indy Pace Car from said he went to 3 dealers until he got one for sticker price. 2 of the dealers were taking sealed bids. The dealer he ordered it from didn't even know what he was ordering so they agreed to sticker. When it came in, they wanted him to pay for it in full the day it arrived because they had people offering 5-10k over sticker for it. So there are plenty of dumb people out there willing to pay extra so don't expect dealers to sell for sticker any time soon.

How can that be true? When GM says "employee pricing for everyone" that is at every dealer. Right?

I will never buy another v6 Camaro...let alone for that price...Chevy has a nerve putting a mark up on these cars considering the shape there in.

I went to Lucas Chevy on 38 and they had it marked up to 44,000 for an SS all options, 39,000 for the V6 w/all options.
That is just ridiculous, I think I'll just call GM and have a custom one made and delivered at my door for about the same price + maybe another $5,000...
