I'll believe it when I see it. I've read an article like this a few months ago and nothing has changed. A Cadillac dealer near me wants $30k over for platinum Escalades and will not negotiate.

100% marketing BS... when you call GM corporate (and I have) they will tell you they "discourage" those tactics but ultimately the dealers are independent sellers and GM has no control...

This is totally true. They can do what ever they want. You can order a car and when it arrives they can mark it up right there when it arrives at their store. Their just making more $$ of the consumer.
