Regardless, pre-ordering still has its advantages in terms of being able to get the exact model, color, and options. Glad I avoided the hassle of buying from dealer stThat may start to happen by the time the first set of Z's for dealer inventory arrives. ock.

i was reading the letters to the Editor in the new autoweek and someone said that $7,000 above MSRP was the going rate where he was.
See, and people thought i was nuts for asking $10,000 above MSRP

I'm seriously feeling for the newbies about to arrive. This car is going to definitely be in very high demand and price gouging is going to be outrageous. Dealers are foaming at the mouth. How much do you think the new order Z's will go over MSRP? I'm think it'll start at roughly 2k and work up to 5k. Edmonds is already predicting 2k over MSRP.

Also, report them to NNA, it may effect their future allocations of Zs. Right, ZISME?
Boomer-- a reasonable profit at MSRP for a popular car is fair, gouging can send a dealer packing pretty fast when word gets around. I have a serious problem with Edmunds for their projections, they are contributors to the gouging. My opinion, use or lose it, doesn't matter to me.

I didn't get to pre-order as I missed it by about 3 weeks, oh well...
I did however put a deposit down for when his non-pre-order stock came in. I hope that will be in Nov to early Jan at the latest. I had him put on the buy order that both he and I signed that he would sell me the car at MSRP and no markup, even though he did say they would be marking up the cost if the other dealers here in Houston did the same. I like the car and can't wait to get one, but I won't pay above sticker, no matter how much I want one.
BTW - if you think Charleston was hot, try coming to Houston for our 9 months of hot muggy summer, our 1 month of fall and spring and our 2 days of winter and the rest of the time you probably won't melt if you walk outside.

Folks... The way that I see it is pre-order = gold. Personally, none of us want to be on the wrong side of over MSPR gouging. I personally hate to see it happen but the car is hot and people want it. When you have something that people want bad **** happens. I hate to see over MSRP charges happening but in a way I kinda like it because it keeps resale value up a bit hehe. I know... I'm a mean *** but hey... early bird catches the worm!
