How to get a good deal on a factory order
Here is my situation:
Does it matter what time of year I order? What should I realistically expect to pay? Any chance of under sticker? (sorry if this is a repeat question, only the Enhanced by Google search was working and it did not help me - too many matches. Advanced search gave me a blank screen every time. Not zero matches, a blank screen.) |

you go to the dealer, you build the car, you leave deposit.

Unless you have a preferred local dealer or they aren't helpful, you could try to order directly from Joe here on the forum. He ships across the country, has a very good chance of actually being able to allocate a car and is extremely helpful: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=415251

If you want to get a Camaro with a V8 for under MSRP at the moment, you will probably need to know someone at the dealership or in GM that can get you a discount. The problem you will run across is, new cars are extremely scarce and used cars of 1 to 3 (sometimes even 4) years old are just as expensive on a dealership's lot as a new version of the car would normally be. Because of this, most dealerships know that getting a new car at MSRP is a good deal at the moment.
If you are not taking advantage of the inflated prices dealers are paying for used cars right now by trading one in for your purchase, then buying a new car now is a bad idea. If saving money is your biggest priority, then wait until the chip shortage has run its course and prices return to more normal levels. However, if paying MSRP for a Camaro you want is ok, then pull the trigger. This site is full of information that is very useful on how to order a car from GM as well as what to expect to put down for a deposit, and what other things to look out for when doing a factory order.

I'd consider getting a zl1 at MSRP a great deal, especially in this market which looks like it'll continue for the foreseeable future. If you're doing a factory order there aren't many deals or incentives you can get. Them ordering a car for you at cost is the deal, unless you know someone who will personally enter an employee discount code on your build. Other than that, you'd need a dealer to have a special on which usually they don't have for camaros. Things like truck month, or employee pricing events etc for example, but they usually don't include performance cars. edit -- I'm not sure about your local laws but where I am, on my contract it states "car must be sold for MSRP" which is a mandated law here

If you are able to place an order at MSRP, that is a very good deal at present. I’m locked in at Invoice, but only because I have a prior relationship with the dealer and placed my order before things got so ugly.
If you can wait a year maybe it will turn around, but the Camaro potentially only has 1-2 years left unless GM changes their mind and extend it another year(s).
