Default Rip off !!!

First off let me say that the new camaro SS is freakin even better looking in person !!!! Anyway....Lynn Smith Chevrolet in Burleson Texas is pricing their Standard SS models at MSRP $35,995..with a LMA - Local Market Adjustment of $5,000, bringing the price to $40,995...ARE YOU KIDDING ME.. that means the 2SS/RS is probably running 47-48k... WOW...I told em what a Freaking Rip off and even though ive bought 3 Chevys from them, thier is no way im purchasing a new Camaro from thier.

I should walk out of there with a 2SS/RS for about 38k.. Unreal and they should be ashamed of thierselves.... Anyway, stay away from Lynn Smith Chevrolet !!!

GM is advertising on their website all of the available discounts on the Camaro. And there is no reason to pay over MSRP for a new Camaro given the current economy.

Alot of the dealers here in the Ny area ive talked to are all selling it for msrp. Makes no sense with the economy right now and Gm's state right now for them to be so greedy.
