So, I also managed to get a private offer from Chevy.Com. And, I dutifully called the nearest dealer to inquire about a 16 2ss on the lot. They took the offer into account and then said I could buy the car for a mere $3000 over MSRP plus title plus fees... Wasn't really sure how to respond to that...

My closest dealer has 0 allocation and has yet to receive his first one.

The next nearest dealers have allocation but think nothing about bending over potential buyers on the sales of new cars and/or the cost of simple maintenance like oil changes.

I understand supply and demand so I can appreciate the dealers' positions but I am not sure the dealers understand the damage they do to potential sales of the product months down the line by alienating their pool of potential buyers.

So, will I reconsider purchasing a Camaro? Yes. Will I reconsider alternatives? Yes. Wouldn't you?

But, do I still want a Camaro? Sure. I have just lost a great deal of confidence in the dealers around me.
