Adjusted market value is a bitch. Automakers like Chevrolet don't want that markup, but greedy dealerships want to make as much as possible and will cash in on the popularity of the car.

 

[Ron Vogel]

That is outrageous BS.

This is exactly why the G8 has failed...just on a larger scale.

You can't sell a car that few know about without any on the street to get people's interest...I guess GM doesn't realize you need to enthuse enthusiasts.

GM has to cut down on that BS, because no one else will.

I remember when the c6 z06 came out and biggers was charging 15k over sticker 6 months later on a red z with shitty swirl marks, and they still wouldn't budge on the price. I just laughed and walked out.

When my Dad and I were looking at T/A's they wanted $5K+ over the sticker back in '98...he got a dealer demo with 8K on it for $23 out the door.

by mine i assume you mean parents... :wink:

they need to chill out with the markups on these for sure...

 

[Stink Star]

the worst part is that they will sell them all no problem. that should seriously be illegal though. i believe its called price gouging

 

[Mook]

moving to general car

 

[Smokinhot]

The way i look at it is if they want to get out of the hole stop the dealers from marking up the price so they can sell. Otherwise their doomed for sure.

I agree though If they aren't on the streets noone knows they exist

 

[IDAFC21]

fuck me, im in the wrong line of work.

 

[Stink Star]

this one car is not going to get them out of the hole... the vette is just a pretty face, there is hardly any profit from selling a sports car. it is meant to get people excited about owning a chevy. in a way it kinda works cause how many "lamens" understand "hey this trailblazer has an LS2 in it!" compared to "hey, this trailblazer has a corvette motor in it!". they use the popularity of the vette to sell other, more profitible cars.


the way to get them out of the hole? if they go through with the volt and make it like the "production" version we just saw- that thing is gonna sell huge! and if they carry that interior styling to the rest of their lineup they will no doubt take toyota over as the most selling manufacturer again

 

[Primalzer]

I'll take one please. I sure hope they take casino cash....out wait i still don't have enough....:wtcd:

 

[Poopshinanigans]

The dealers are separate entities from GM, meaning they can charge whatever the fuck they want. Sorry for stating the obvious. Though GM can put pressure on the dealers isn't it the dealers who pay GM?

 

[bluzohh6]

Still sucks though

 

[Euro]

That is ridiculous

 

[Poopshinanigans]

Still sucks though

I think you and i are going to become great buddies on here.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

blow the fuckers up.

 

[Poopshinanigans]

I'd love to, except for Bob Rohrman dealerships. That man is a legend.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

family ties?

 

[Poopshinanigans]

Yeah, cant you see it in my eyes?
