Ordered cars at this, and most dealerships sell to the client that puts down a deposit and ordered the car at MSRP and waits their turn. Dealer owned cars do not. Flipping cars within Canada doesn't affect the dealership. It's the cross border ones that are frowned upon. Like Gilles mentioned, his dealer was fully prepared to cut him a fat cheque to buy back his car before it left the lot. You really think they were going to resell it at MSRP? Yeah Right.

If you're prepared to scout out a dealer across Canada that has allocation and you can get on the list, you won't pay $20 or $30k over and as you say, can ship the car for less than $2k. But if you dogged around and didn't get on an allocation list, can't find a dealer who has enough allocation, aren't prepared to wait one to two years for your car while your dealer buys lunch everyday with the interest off your deposit, or were at 3000 and all of a sudden GM stopped production, those are the buyers that will spend the big bucks extra to get a new car next week while the rest drool when they see it driving down the street and spend every day on the phone wondering why Joe has a car and John doesn't.

[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 243410, member: 2217"] Ordered cars at this, and most dealerships sell to the client that puts down a deposit and ordered the car at MSRP and waits their turn. Dealer owned cars do not. Flipping cars within Canada doesn't affect the dealership. It's the cross border ones that are frowned upon. Like Gilles mentioned, his dealer was fully prepared to cut him a fat cheque to buy back his car before it left the lot. You really think they were going to resell it at MSRP? Yeah Right.
