Go to my dealer ready and all with all papers and my thousand to put down, they say they cant do my GMS discount cause its a SS, this is after talking to dealer for 2 weeks about it, and they cant take any money off since i am paying cash for the car and sinces its sooo late, I just want this car, went to another dealer and he said he can do it, but i heard bad stuff about this dealer, now i dont know what to do, i am feed up wit GM and Chevy, F them all, but i want this SS, what should i do? I am just really upset this happened, everything was all set, they said car would be in 4-6 weeks, this sucks!!!!

 

call gm supplier discount. get an authorization number.. but they are right its up to the dealer to honor it or not... if they are a platinum dealership they have to honor it... keep that in mind.. as for 4-6 weeks.. all SS SHOULD be here by that time being production starts this month

 

Why not try different dealers? Around here, there are so many Chevy dealers, that they really don’t want to loose anyone.

 

I'm getting the run around Cleveland though. I've been to three major Chevy dealers in town and I'm getting different answers from all of them. The one dealer I bought my 02 Cavalier from is telling me MAR-APR they'll start accepting orders and JUN-JUL deliveries.

 

Over here in western PA the dealers won't accept orders for the coupe period, LS or SS. Alsothough, they do expect the LS couple to be in soon. Ill be waiting as usual........

 

Gallucci Chevrolet in Medina Oh is taking SS orders. Go see Dough and tell him Jonel sent ya
But yea, I am not sure why most dealers wont place the orders yet

 

you know when Chevy had the free upgrades last year, the dealerships I dealt with weren't taking orders then...

 

On the GM Suppliersite they specifically say you get ~900 off MSRP for the Cobalt SS S/C.
You basically price one out in the GMBuypower site and at the end GM knocks off whatever you get via your discount. for me it was about ~900.

 

Classic Chevrolet in Mentor, OH is accepting orders for the Cobalt SS/SC. Go see Mark Calloway. I put my order in way back on August 10th.

 

yea i am going somewhere else that will take my order and do GMS but they arent really looking to see these till 2nd quarter of 05", some one find some real GM ANSWERS ON THE SS

 

What kind of "real GM ANSWERS" were you looking for?

The problem here is that GM does not sell vehicles, nary a one, never ever have they, nor will they ever.

DEALERSHIPS sell vehicles. Even a "Platinum" dealer can decide whether they do or they don't sell specific vehicles at GMS or Supplier. (Keep the two separate, because they are very different numbers)

Here's the thing... MSRP (or sticker price) is exactly that... Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price. GM SUGGESTS the price that the dealers sell them at. Heck, it's even possible that a specific dealer could sell all of their cars for $1 (Canadian, not US, because that would just be stupid ) and it would be THEIR money they would lose.

We've all seen vehicles that sell OVER sticker, the C6 Vettes, the SSR's when they first came out. How, you ask, can you sell something OVER sticker? Sticker's just that... MSRP.

I'm not surprised that dealerships don't sell them for GMS, remember the first rule of Econ 101... Supply and Demand... those are the two things that drive prices... the high demand combined with the low supply means the prices are high.

That's in the business bible, heck, dealerships would sell them all for a ba-jillion dollars (yes, canadian) if somebody would buy them at that price... but we (and yes, I'm a dealer and I think I can sell it for sticker) think there are more buyers than vehicles and SOMEBODY's bound to pay more for it than GMS.

If you're talking pricing... you should all refer to my post here https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/general-cobalt-68/family-friends-discount-1073/.

Anyway, that's just my 2 cents (no, not canadian)
