At Cost Pricing Question

Hi I got a job with a Chevrolet Cadillac dealership recently and i just found out that if I decided to purchase a vehicle from them... I would get it AT COST +$300 and have employee financing privledges.

Is there a certain percentage that dealers charge over what they pay for a vehicle? Basically I'm trying to figure out how much a brand new Vette would cost me....

Why not just ask the sales manager at the dealership where you work. Most everyone here would be guessing unless they work at or own a dealership.

The big internet vette dealers are running specials with the price being 10% - 13% off MSRP. So this gives you something to think about.

I had worked at a GM dealer about 6 years ago. It was $250 above invoice, plus you could get the really good financing but they never offer low financing on the vettes.

With a Cobalt at 0% ARP, who in the world would want a vette

If they offered )%, or even 3% to 4%, I would pick up a 08 vette today!

Thanks for the heads up, this will probably come in handy when I start shopping around for a low mile c6.

I'm actually looking for a used 05-06, but I won't be buying for a few more months.

The dealership in Granbury Texas told me when I got ready he would order one for invoice. I thought that was a decent deal and its local.

Look at a 2006 you do not want a 2005..never buy the first year of production.

I sell 50 new ones a month and can beat that deal..on top of that I can get you the car typically in 28 days..I order new ones every Tuesday...it is all about having the allocation.. I sell Vettes to guys that work at other chevy dealers..because I have them and they do not..
