CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Dealership in Midwest that stocks Manual LT1's

Question for the community.

I'd like to purchase a 2021 Camaro LT1 with a manual transmission. I live in Ann Arbor, MI. I've spoken to a half dozen dealerships near me to see about getting one on their lot through their dealer allocations. i don't want to order the car because all of the dealerships I've spoken to want a $1000-$2000 non-refundable deposit. I don't like that idea because it leaves me in a bad position to negotiate on price and I am at the mercy of whatever promotions GM is running at time of delivery.

Most dealerships I talk to tell me that 'nobody' buys manual cars. Everybody wants the A10. That's why the dealerships, at least the ones I've talked to, don't order them with a stick. While I understand that the A10 is very good and accelerates faster, I have a difficult time believing that there aren't 100's of guys like me that want to row their own gears in their muscle machine.

Anyway, I'm interested in hearing from the forum on any suggestion of dealerships in the Midwest that either stocks manual LT1's regularly or who would be willing to work with me to have one ordered through their own allocation without demanding a non-refundable deposit.

Thanks so much!
