certain dealers have already said they will not charge more than MSRP for it. There is a dealership in s.jersey somewhere that has said 500$ gets you on the waiting list and that puts you in line. If you are the 25th person on the list then you get to order, to your specs, the 25th '10 Camaro that the lot orders and when it comes in you get first chance to inspect and purchase, if you don't like they refund your deposit and sell it to someone else. There's a dealership in Dearborn that has a waiting list 1K deposit they will order the Camaro to your specs and only charge you MSRP (your deposit is deducted from the MSRP price) then ship it to the dealer of your choice.

from the Camaro5.com forums:
I sent a message to a couple local dealers inquiring about their stance on dealer markup.

I've only heard back from one so far-

Bennett Chevrolet
6721 Black Horse Pike
Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234

This was my response from them regarding Dealer Markup-

Thanks for your request in regards the 2009 Camaro. It is our policy to limit our pricing on "hot" products to the actual MSRP. We do have a small waiting list. $500.00 deposit required. Cars will be offered in order of Deposit.

So, I had to ask about that deposit (I know a lot of people don't think we should put down a deposit, but I had to ask). My followup eMail was this-

Thank you very much for the information.

I do have a couple questions now though.

1- Does this deposit hold whatever vehicle arrives on the lot? Or does it guarantee the ability to order to my own specifications? (I personally wish to order my Camaro.)

2- Is this deposit refundable if, when details are released, the buyer decides to wait a bit longer to purchase? Or, God forbid, they decide they are unhappy with the production model and don't wish to purchase at all?

Thank you again,



And, lastly, their response to that-

The deposit secures your place in the allocation process, The Camaro would be ordered to your specifications baring any factory restrictions. The deposit is 100% refundable, we will not hold you to the car if it’s not as expected.

Thanks again for your interest.
