We paid MSRP for ours. I told the dealer how I had been researching them and what they were going for around the country. He wouldn't budge. He gave me the ****enbull story about how there was hardly any markup on the HHR and even at MSRP he was only going to make $500. I knew it was BS but it was the exact truck we wanted so we bought it anyway.
You shoulda been with me when I was shopping Solstices last year. Some dealers were selling at MSRP but some were marking them up from MSRP by as much as $5000! The Sosltice was hot and they knew they would sell regardless so they did it. Luckily I got involved with helping start the West Coast Kappa Car Club before I bought one and it didn't take too many outings to know that I didn't want one.
So is this new promotion going to happen? What is the consensus?

You should see the mark-up on a bottle of Pepsi.

Bryce, it is an LS... But another dealer offered us one for "$100 over invoice" but he didn't get one like we wanted in time so we took this one. You may tell me different but all I have ever heard is that 'invoice' is a selling tool and not really what the dealer pays. I know too many people who have bought at $100 over invoice to think that the dealers are only making $100 on the sale.
And the dealer we bought from did okay because we bought other extras including the 6 year interior/exterior warranty.

Let's just say he is the type of guy that if is has a dime will tell you he has ten dollars... and will tell you its a waste of money to spend it on fancy clothes and then ask for a dollar because he did not want to break the hundred dollar bill in his pocket to pay for a soda... ...he really does mean well and I really don't think he even knows how much of a fishing story he is telling at times.. but he really does drive / own a small six auto carrier with up-to-date tags.
