Grand Sport Markups
My local dealer, Fremont Chevrolet, wants a $5000 markup on a Grand Sport or Grand Sport X. Do we want to start a list? I have a deposit at MacMulkin, but wanted to give local dealers a chance to earn my money. Looks like that won't happen.

We (Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista, CA ) plan to sell GS and GSX at or below MSRP. We do have a list going for the GS, but I only have 1 local customer on my list for a GSX. We don't know how many we'll get, but hoping for a couple per year or more.

I'm working with a local dealership in southern California to order a GS 2027 Vette. Supposedly they have an "allocation" from another dealership and wanted to charge me the $3500 for the allocation number. I said NO DEAL. I'll go back to Ciocca and order from them. Right now working with ALL the "ADDITIONAL OPTIONS". I liked it better when you selected YOUR color and the car was ordered. Too many options to choose from. I'm a female and these options are rather confusing to me. BTW, I have a 2023 Stingray yellow Z51 pkg, LT2, less than 7K miles, premium wheels, etc., etc. for sale.

My local dealer put me #1 on list at MSRP .2 months ago when the odds were high the GS was going to happen. . They got an allocation 2 weeks ago for 27 GS and today I received my TPW of 6/22
I agree I would refuse to pay any mark up AND junk fees/add ons.
Plenty of dealers on the forum at MSRP but may have longer waiting lists

Thanks for thinking the same way as I am. Additional options are my worst nightmare. I worked with one salesman and he tells me "I've spent 26 min talking to you and that I have other customers to help!!!" What a turn off. Then I worked with the local dealership, sat and talked over 2 hrs re all the options (still unclear on some of them) but they have an "allocation" from another dealership costing $3500. I was finally able to say NO $3500 or I'll go to another dealer. The $3500 was quickly removed. However, the local dealership has been trying to send me a pdf file and I can't open it. Will stop in person on Friday to obtain the final "work bench" order for my perusal before I give them an OK to submit the order.
