Default C7 mark up

Has anybody had to pay a mark up over sticker price? If so how much.

I'd be surprised if anyone admitted to paying a dealer markup on this forum.

Pricing has been as low as 3k under MSRP and I've seen as much as 25k over...

At least one person has bought a C7 from our local dealer because they wanted $10,000 above list in Houston.
The dealer here learned years ago that selling even high demand cars above sticker may bring in a little extra money in the short term, but it does not create repeat customers..
They had a 1978 Pace car that sat on the showroom until the tires went flat because they thought they could get above sticker.

They let the tires go flat? On the showroom? Cobwebs too? just not good sales practices
