Just a funny thing that I see dealers do with used cars around here from time to time.

Recently a used car dealer up the road, a family owned one that is well known locally and owns 3 lots has a 2019 Camaro 2SS convertible for sale. 28,000 miles and listed as a rental. It doesn't have the NPP and looks like the ones that Hertz has so it's likely they bought it at auction when Hertz Corporate car sales locations shutdown recently.

Anyway, when they got the car they listed it for something like $32,000 which is a great price for a rag top 2ss fairly new (yes I know rental) but then I went online tonight just to see what Camaro is going for right now and I noticed they jacked the price up to around $37,800!!!

The thing is the last couple of weeks the used Camaro inventory has rebounded and prices have gone down. A chevy dealer locally to has one for $36,800, 2ss convertible and less miles, same car and a few more features. The used car lot also wasn't running any rebates or specials on that when it was listed at 32k.

Local ford dealer did that with a 2017 base model GT too I was looking at before I bought my Camaro. Was on their site for 2 months. Price was decent then they jacked it up 2 k after it was sitting on their lot. Again, base model. Glad I kept an eye on that price BS and went and bought the Camaro instead because the dealer had no BS pricing on the Camaro and was upfront.

I just find that amusing though. When I look for used cars I keep my eye on prices like that.
