I just paid MSRP for a Vert. Bought it from Hare Chevy in Noblesville In. The dealers in Fl. are trying to get 10K over.
Don't lay down. We've got the POWER!!!

Even if the dealer is fully prepared to let it go for under MSRP he is still gonna throw on a chunk of markup. Never know when a sucker is gonna stroll through the lot. If its the car you want with your options make an offer and see what shakes. One of the local dealer went to msrp from a 10k markup and Im out in the sticks. It was one of two cars that had the options I wanted in my area and I went ahead and picked it up. At the time I could have ordered one from a forum vendor and got 1k under so I did give up some cash to get one locally on the ground.

You need to shop around. Many forum members bought under MSRP or at MSRP.
But I've started to see dealers in Cleveland trying to add major markup. We have one guy here pushing a $18K markup on in stock coupes.
Order what you want, but be sure you get a dealer who has allocation. I wouldn't wait too much longer. There is a lot of debate here about how strong the current sales are doing. I expect sales to pick up and the total production year to be sold out in the next 4 weeks. And then the markups will really start to mean something!
