In 1984, when the newest version came out they sold for $500 over Msrp almost all year. Those who gouged more got fewer of them as they showed some in inventory. Here in Houston the largest truck dealer at that time sold them for MSRP and turned a lot of future allocation. He was smart and sold a lot of the 85's with the greater horsepower. Chevrolet goes with a turn and earn. A vette in inventory delays the next replacement till it is sold. Dealers do themselves and their image no good by gouging on a hot car - it is remembered. I am suspicious that the factory will reduce the dealer's mark up with this new car. It's been going on for years now. A $40,000 SSR in 2003 had a $600 markup. erg! Bob
