Had a dealer in Alberta call me on the weekend and ask if i wanted a 2020 in rapid blue, 2 Lt. I asked how much they said 109000, I was like woah that seems really high, they said yes, we are asking 20g over msrp. I instantly said not a chance.
Oh, i actually laughed at him when he told me. I said not a freaking chance.Never would I ever pay $1 over MSRP. Back in 2014 when the new Hellcats were coming out we went through the same issue with the Challengers and dealers. There were guys paying $20k over msrp to get first in line for a Hellcat. I said nope. Now they are sitting on dealer lots.
Everyone think with their big head.....
Ifa customer backs out of their order the car then belongs to the dealer. What he does with it is no concern to any of his customers except to show his true identity.
To me seems suspicious as most of the guys with first deposits back out. If I was the one with a deposit way before the car was even released to order , they would be Corvette enthusiast and not as likely to miss out on first allocation, even if a financial matter comes up why not buy it and flip it for easy profit.My Ski doo dealer here puts fake deposits for Spring order only sleds just so he can sell them at full jam during the winter when no other dealers can get them, sounds like the same thing to me.Ifa customer backs out of their order the car then belongs to the dealer.

Could easily be the case. GM didn't and still doesn't allow "Stock Orders". Only "Sold Orders". For those that don't know they are only building customer cars and likely won't build C8's for dealer stock until 2022 at the earliest. That was one reason why they allotted CTF's to their volume dealers. So they could have stock or sell them way above MSRP.To me seems suspicious as most of the guys with first deposits back out.

.....thus making P.T. Barnum a prophetic genius.....I know of C8s here in the GTA that have sold for 20K over MSRP in private sales.
It has been my experience that dealers for the most part are all the same. Maybe slightly different shades of grey but when push comes to shove, the sale in front of them is worth more than the potential loss of 5 future sales.
When you can make 5 times the profit on one sale, who cares about the next five? We, as consumers may think this is a terrible way to do business, but virtually every dealer does it. Its why the car business has a reputation only slightly better than street pimps. It is also why as consumers and customers our dealer loyalty is near zero.

More likely zero down and financed over 240 months.Build a circus and they will come?
perhaps not a sucker, but a wealthy individual who has more money than he knows what to do with.
I've always hated that term. In my experience... I know a few "extremely wealthy" people. They know exactly what they're doing. They just got so much money its like buying three mcdoubles at dons for them.Build a circus and they will come?
