Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

[5VBW Nick]

My 18yo has volunteered to skip school, fly down, and drive the car from FL to OH.

I'll do it for you and I'm certainly not 18!

He'd have it well broken in by the time he got home with it. View attachment 23958

Where in Ohio are you? I'm in Pataskala (just outside of Columbus).

Mason, just north of Cincy, in the shadow of Kings Island.

I've got a nephew that lives in Mason. That's to bad you couldn't get together with Camargo, being local to you.

Great place to live.

I ended up passing on this car. Their price rose $1000 from when I agreed to buy it to the real "final" number and then the additional $500 or so to fly down and drive back. It also was missing the sky cool gray seats that I really want. We decided to stick with my current order (no allocation yet). It'll also give me a few more months to save and try to pay cash. Can't say enough good things about the salesperson though.

I'm in Florida now, but I grew up and spent most of my adult life in Centerville. Small world.

Employee Pricing $31K under MSRP???

What the hell?

Seems too good to be true, especially for a 24 that isn’t even on the lot yet. My guess is it’s an honest mistake or a BS sales tactic to get a bunch of inquiries on the vehicle. A potential killer deal for someone though if true.

+1 on too good to be true. Disclosure says:

"Not available with special finance or lease offers. Price to Qualified GM Employees and eligible family members *MSRP is plus tax, title and fees. Tax also due on rebates. Ask dealer for final sale price including required MI taxes."

I bet sticker price is not even $92k and final price will somehow change to $70k+. Tried to see the specs, but could not find any info.... Seems bs dealer tactics.

Still curious though to see how things will play out. I am following closely this.

You can pull up the sticker on their website. It's an Elevation Edition.

Coincidentally, that’s the base price without options.

Very deceptive advertising. That's BS!

Thanks for noting this.

Still curious to see how this deal plays out. As far as I know dealers don't have that large of a margin, so I am sure they don't plan on losing money.

I ended up buying the car that RKS passed on last week. I pick it up tomorrow from Fields Cadillac in Jacksonville. The dealership was pretty transparent and easy to deal with so far. Other than the ridiculous Florida doc fees which I can't do anything about, the deal was pretty good. No silly add-ons to inflate the price and the dealer discounted the price almost $3000 in addition to the $3000 rebate. My OTD price ended up being $35 less than the MSRP. I'm really happy with this, considering that the car has EXACTLY the options I wanted other than colors, and the color combo is actually one of three I had decided I would be happy with. Win-Win.

Mad props to RKS for sharing the info about his deal with me when he decided not to buy the car. I'm sure this helped me get a better deal.

@Z51L9889 welcome and congrats! Sounds like a sweet deal! The money I saved on mine covered for PPF and ceramic coating.

 

[Z51L9889]

Thanks!

We took delivery of the vehicle today, but ended up sending it to service because the A/C wasn't working.

I do have to say that Fields Cadillac in Jacksonville, FL is awesome to work with. They told me that they never make market adjustments over MSRP and don't add any accessories to their vehicles unless specifically requested by a customer. In addition, they were very willing to work with me on price. I definitely recommend them.

I attached a couple of pictures below. I'll get some better ones when I get the car home.

Congratulations! I have an order for a CT5-V BW with them. Only a month into the waiting... sigh...

FYI -- the Sales Manager was telling me that dealers are having a really hard time getting allocations right now. I hope he's wrong for your sake...

Waiting up to a year would be perfectly fine for me as I save up more cash. The two years I keep hearing about is suboptimal but honestly I don’t want anything else. I drove a manual earlier today for the first time and the gearbox is soooo much better than the M3.
