Do they do big time price slashing to get rid of the cars so they don't sit there for months? I notice vRoom lately has been knocking a bit off their prices in increments by about $500 I've seen on autotrader.


We'll know probably come the fall when more hit the lots and in Sept when 2022 Camaro production starts.


Looks like Estero Bay got another LT1 in or has one on the way by looking at autotrader today.


Why would someone be so stupid to buy from Carmax if they got a SS for not much more brand new?


As figured my local Chevy dealer which I wouldn't buy from them if they offered it for a buck still has no Camaros in.


Even in normal times they carried hardly any Corvettes and Camaros so not shocking.


I think the best deals might be traditional car lots. They jacked up prices too but not nearly as bad as Carvana. If your local Chevy dealer has some SSs used on the lot and suddenly gets some new ones they might be willing to workout a deal to clear it off the lot.


Also, late this year when the 2022s are hitting the lots if the Camaro continues to have terrible sales and dealers can't unload 2021 if they're workout deals on them too.


Last sept a local Chevy dealer had FOUR 1ss Camaros left over 2020 with NPP, A10. Chevy of course had really no incentives but with the dealer rebate the cars were about $37,500. I love my 2016 2ss because it has a lot of features and was only 16,500 miles and cost me 6 grand less. But I still kick myself for not taking my Mustang there to see the trade in estimate. Would been nice having brand new Camaro. Might been able to get them down a bit more if they wanted to unload them.
I think you have it backwards. The dealerships are taking advantage of the stupid prices on used cars to overinflate the new vehicles on their lots with "ADM" (additional dealer markup).
