50k red 2ss loaded!
Which just goes to show what is wrong with our laws protecting dealerships. When GM has a sought after car they don't make one extra penny on it, only the dealership cashes in. However, when the dealership can't sell all the cars, GM has to pay for the incentives. Does Apple have to do that if some retailer buys too many iphones?
not entirely true. GM can make money on financing and service.
apple like any other business will probably lower their prices if demand is down. just like housing or automobiles.
My dad owns 9 dealerships (or did i should say). We never ever marked anything up becuase if you give people a good deal, theyll be back generally within 2 years to buy something else. Mark ups are retarded i dont know why anyone pays anything over MSRP minus any rebates. My dad said back in the day, like 20 years ago, my uncle had a Porsche dealership(hes dead now). He said my uincle used to order all of Norhtern Californias supply of 911's, and he called himself the 911 king and he would mark all of them up $10,000. What are you going to do? The only place to get a 911. This was before the internet. Now, all you got to do is jump on anyone of over 1,000,000 websites that sell cars and you can find anythingyou want below MSRP and you know what? Paying $1,000 to ship a car is way cheaper than buying a $35,000 car for $50,000. But car shoppers are dumb, mainly ones with Vaginas.
Theres a dealership here in town that will get a new car in, and refuse to sell it like its some HUGE freaking deal. They had an avalanche when they first came out and they put it in a glass box and wouldnt let people see it and they would put huge stickers on the glass that would say "NOT FOR SALE, WE WONT LET YOU SIT IT IT OR DRIVE IT, PLEASE DONT ASK. KEYS ARE IN A TIME LOCK VAULT"
LOL!!!! The new ZR1 went in the box, and just last week a yellow ss went in it. An whats even funnier is they always say "its going to be a collectors, it will be worht so much, well never sell it its going in the owners private collection"
And then 2 years itll be on the lot with a $20,000 mark up claiming its the first one made. And then theyll sell it at an auction to my dad for half what its worth. I was waiting for that ZR1 but my dad retired!!!!! NOO!!!

Outragous! Yes indeed, the 10K markup is outragous but what's more surprising is that the previous dealership did mark everything up including repairs, service, etc. by 50% compared to Fairway Chevrolet LV. So guess what, I think this Ed Bozarth Chevy Dealership will end up like Bill Heard! Just my two cents!
yeah check out the other thread in this forum that my buddy posted about the 10k markup on a LT2 V6. They wanted 40k for the thing. he told them there nuts and they got pissed at him.
When the GT500 mustangs came to the dealer out by me they said the lowest price they sold one for was $58000. When window sticker was around $42k. Those cars were going thru at the auctions for $55k. That is nuts, but you can't give them away now for sticker. Basiclly anybody that pays sticker or more is a idiot. Yea you want the car bad but patience is a virtue. Also as soon as you drive the car off the lot, in these times, the car probably loses an easy $10k!

A friend and I went to see a fully loaded red 2SS which they said was the first one in Las Vegas! I won't say what Dealer but they used to be Vista Chevrolet(Bill Heard). The sticker price is 40K but the dealer mark up is 10K. Now you tell me why GM is going bankrupt and out of business!!!
If so, it's STILL there
