Hi guys,

General question regarding ordering a custom
Built Camaro .

Anyone know what kind of discount is to be expected
On an order? (As a percentage off MSRP)

I qualify for supplier pricing so wanted to see what’s
A strong discount to be had.

I understand the factory is currently closed as there
Are delays due to the chip shortage but possibly looking
At ordering a 2022 later this summer .

I ordered a 2022 2SS about a month ago. I am also getting at supplier. My dealer contract states I will get at supplier and any rebates that are offered at the time of delivery. With the shortage of Camaro's being built, I doubt we see many rebates for early order 2022's. Sometimes there is the standard $1,000.00, but I guess you never know.

How much deposit does a dealer need to accept and submit order ?

Did you get a buyers order with the MSRP and agreed upon sales price?

If so what were they?

When did they say you could expect delivery?

I ordered my 2020 2SS in Nov 2019, I had 3 dealers tell me that since I was special ordering I HAD to pay MSRP (one even went so far as to tell me that was GM's "rule" and any dealer not honoring that "rule" risks losing their dealer license!), I found 3 other dealers who were willing to deal and obviously went with one of those, in the end I got about 10% off of MSRP (including rebates) so I was pretty happy with it, I knew I would pay a bit more ordering, but I wanted exactly what I wanted and no one had one in the entire country, so ordering was an easy choice (I wanted to order).

The dealer requested a $500 REFUNDABLE deposit at time of order.

Hope this helps!

Hey Tuna, I second 2SS Capt's thoughts, when there is actual supply, there is also opportunity for discounts whether or not you're ordering. Camaros are made to order anyway, those you see at the dealership are also ordered (by them, to specs they think would sell well).

I received a similar percentage of ~10% off MSRP when I ordered my 2SS in 2018.

I am getting ready to order a 22 ZL! convertible. I am eligible for the GM Employee discount so it's a fixed price. The dealer is asking for $2500 down.

I am also ready to order a 2022 1SS Convertible, but I can't find anybody with a consensus/allocation for a 2022 yet.

I'm getting scared that GM might not make 2022's due to the 2021 issues and the upcoming rumored 2023 Camaro electric replacement.

I guess I'll end up with a Mustang 5.0 Convertible if that happens... which is not good...

Dealer allocation will be coming towards the end of the summer. 2021s will be produced through July.

well it depends on the dealer if its $500 its $500 and if its $1500 its $1500(know what I'm saying) but at the end you will get the money back towards the purchase of the vehicle, but once the order goes in you cant get the money back because it is nonrefundable

There is no such "rule". GM is not involved in negotiations. I'm a long-time customer at my Chevy dealer and $500 has always been enough.

As for MSRP, I've never paid it, but right now who knows. I always order cars and that experience is worth the slightly higher price to me.

If Camaro is your dream car, don't settle for one that isn't exactly what you want.

Exactly! I knew the whole MSRP "Rule" thing was a bunch of BS...

I'm thinking of ordering a Challenger if I can decide on the trim as I keep going back and forth between the widebody and 1320. Anyway, a couple places were offering 4% under invoice a couple months ago, but now only one of them is and they want a 2k non-refundable deposit. The guys on one of the forums is saying BS as there is no way they would sell one at under cost and lose money and they may try to make it up with higher financing. IDK, I really doubt they will lose money. They have to have some holdback or something to even offer that deal. But that place is over 4 hours away in another state. There is a guy in my state about 3 hours away that orders tons of Scat Packs. He is offering 1% under Supplier price (which is a tad under invoice on Chrysler vehicles) and I feel I can trust him more so I may go with him. He is only wanting a 1k deposit too. I know not a huge deal, but don't like the idea of them saying it is non-refundable esp. since I know it may take 2 or 3 months to arrive and things can change during that time. I'm still tossing the idea of a mach 1 around and would like to hear the final numbers on the new Z as it sounds like it may be a good car. But then again, it will never sound as good as a V8 and I love the look of the Challenger and the Z has a weird front end design IMO sort of like the Camaro.
