Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

[Speed Racer 007]

New guy here - just placed an order for a 4BW through Fred Beans today. I contacted Jon @ Faulkner too, but he said they have only received 1 4BW and had a few orders in so I could be waiting a while for allocation.

I contacted Fred Beans and they just received 1 allocation (which I took), so while not thrilled, I was ok paying the $3k markup they wanted (it was $5k, but I'm local and bought from their dealership group before).

Who are you working with at F Beans as my friend was going to stop in there and see if he could place an order. Thanks

It was Mike Bradley and Paul Pera (who I think is the General Manager).

You look familiar, did you purchase your car from Sewell?? If so, I may have talked to you a couple of months ago at Cars & Coffee, maybe???

You're thinking of Tim Demetrio... ;-)
Tim = Off Road Performance Motorsports Integration @ GM
Jameson = Digital Sculpter @ GM

Any good dealers near Seattle with no mark ups? Thanks!

Akamai58...take a peek at the news on the home page...it appears they addressed GM as a whole and mentioned (future) Cadillac too, but not BW specifically...although hopefully they'll get the hint.

FYI...Star Cadillac in Quakertown, PA seem to be straight shooters to me when I put my order in w/ a $2500 refundable deposit (if not produced) to get a CT5-V BW at MSRP.
also sales manager Frank Barry (especially) and Jeremy Hall v-series sales specialist have been good to work with and responsive to any questions and up-front with info (that has jibed with what is on here).

also noted that they have a pretty loaded dark emerald frost CT4-V BW w/both CF packages (but is an A10) w/ a $2500 ADM if anyone is interested...if it was a 5 I'd be hard thinking of it.

2500? Not bad at all

Cadillac of Bellevue and Brotherton Cadillac both have markups. Brotherton via straight up ADM, Bellevue via dealership package.
I never checked with Larson, but I'd question how many allocations they'll get anyway.

Earnhardt has two CT5 BWs coming in Feb. Both have $25k markups plus $2500 dealer add-on fee. Did they get the GM memo?

Look, Earnhardt needs to earn, hard.

I believe these dealers will continue to have ADM's until people stop paying them (go elsewhere) or GM comes down on them hard. Maybe they will on the crazy amounts, but $5-10k, I think GM won't do anything.

Keep me posted friend if you find dealer in our area near Seattle. Thanks

I'm done looking, got my 5BW back in November

I went via Bellevue. Seemed like the best bet to actually get an allocation. I probably should have put a deposit in at multiple locations to see who got it first, but I learned that trick too late.

Agree on pricing up front in either case. To put it nicely... pricing was very vague when I ordered (in June 2021). Things might be a bit more normalized now.

Nice congrats on the new ride

Your probably correct on that...the 3-5-6,7k ADM not but Large Amounts they will make an example out of those dealers.

Question for the hive mind here. I placed an order Thursday for a CT5-C BW. Salesman very helpful. I sent him the link to my build and he quoted me a price, and stipulated a 7500 ADM. He indicated that he had an allocation for the build. However, he did say that he could not submit the order for a month to a month and half. Does this make any sense? When he said that, I asked again to insure there was an available allocation and he said that there was, but that he wasn't able to order every car allocated at once. Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the process could clarify for me. Thank you.

Nope. You are being played.

And $7,500 ADM? Other dealerships out there taking orders with no ADM. I have an order in with 3 that are all MSRP.
