My dealership typically has a policy of charging MSRP, even on vehicles like the GTO.

They do indeed have a waiting list, and they haven't gotten any of their first allocation vehicles yet, so that does not help your search.

Again, see my post, you can use the Advanced search and expand the listing to show all dealers within a 150 mile radius of a specific city.

You'll have to call a lot of dealers, and it will take a large amount of time. But, you have to balance your time invested against that $2500. If you figure your time is worth about $50/hr, then you're still looking at spending 50 hours before you reach break-even.

You'll need to spend about 15 to 20 hours calling dealers before you strike pay dirt. Don't stop at just one, keep calling until you have at least two.

See my long post. I know it's long, but I really think it will help.

Again, DON'T forget to prepare and fax them your MSRP deposit acceptance agreement. If they won't sign, then move on to the second one you found.

See the post.
