$ 10,000 over sticker ?
At 112 Chevy today getting my waterpump replaced on my 2007 Vette, at 11,500 miles ( WTF !). Not only was it leaking but it failed, leaking out of weap hole.
Anyway they have a ZL1 Camaro in the showroom for $ 10,000 over sticker. Are you serious ? Does anybody really pay over sticker for cars nowadays ? This is why I and many people hate dealers, they are shady, I hope the ZL1 sits in the showroom for 12 months at that price. Rant is over, bad day. |

Anyway they have a ZL1 Camaro in the showroom for $ 10,000 over sticker. Are you serious ? ... As to the car over sticker: You were not buying, so why do you care? Yes, cars are sold at over sticker yet. I guess you have not been shopping for a "hot" car recently. :cheers: |
Btw if your not under warranty complain hard enough and you'll get Chevy to cover the replacement for you. I have an 06 and had my water pump replaced a couple of weeks ago. Only 21k on the clock. My service manager went to bat for me and had gm take care of the costs of both that and the harmonic balancer. No warranty on my car.

In early March I was at a Checvy dealer in north Denver buying my "new" 2011 Z06/Z07 at $20K under sticker...the salesman told me that they had two ZL1 Camaros coming in and both were already sold at $10,000 over sticker...let's see now, a Camaro for $10K over or a Z06 for $20K under...hmmm...guess which one I would choose???:willy:

It's all based on supply and demand. People are willing to pay 10k over sticker for a car they really want.

Remember the 2006 Z06? People were paying a lot more than 10K over so that means the same people will pay 10K over for that Camaro. Dumb but it's reality.

Over sticker, a fool and his money....

By the way, if you are going to ask the dealer for help in service, I suggest you don't call them shady while you are doing it... :ack: |
In today's market, where everyone is getting big discounts and buying vehicles a few hundred over net cost, when the dealer has a car he can make some real money on, what do you expect? he is probably only getting one, might as well make as much as you can on it....

A dealer can ask any price. The guy that pays it is the fool. |

Around a major US City? No surprise there. Given that production has been halted on the ZL1 and prior to that there weren't enough for every US Chevy dealer to get EVEN ONE, it doesn't surprise me that they would "try" to get over sticker becasue they are going to be rare this year.

If you owned the dealership, and you were only going to get one ZL1 for a half a year or so, and you had to worry about paying bills and employee salaries coming out of a recession, I bet you would consider asking a premium for the ZL1.
There's really nothing shady about it. It's their asset, and they get to charge whatever they want. Now if someone agrees to buy it at $10k over, and the the dealer added on undercarriage protection, and vin etching for the glass, and paint protection, and charged for them, saying "oh - we already added those to the car, so you have to pay for them".... We have a few dealers like that around here... :ack: |
Lots of buyers pay over sticker for limited production vehicles and those who want to be the first on the block

I recently mentioned in another thread that Vette water pumps are of a very inferior design (due to their inferior mechanical face seal) and have an average life of about 30,000 miles. Other less informed individuals on this Forum took strong issue with me. No well designed water pump should fail in less than 100,000 miles. How do I know? Because I designed the mechanical face seal that Chrysler installed in their 4 Liter Jeep engine water pump; the only engine out of a score they had in production which had ZERO warranty failures. ZERO. By the way, I have been issued sixteen U.S.A. patents on seals and pumps, and have worked extensively with GM, Ford and Chrysler on the subject, all of whom used my designs on some of their higher performance engines (including earlier Vettes), wrote a technical text book and numerous magazine articles on the subject, and still continue as a paid consultant for major international companies to this day, even though I "retired" over three years ago. Anyway, I feel your pain.
