Something strange here. A Chevrolet dealer cannot "order" a COPO. A retail customer applies to Chevy Performance. If he is chosen from the pool he can then select the dealer of his choice to handle the transaction. The car never goes to the dealership. The only reason a Chevrolet dealer is even involved in all this is for GM to stay in compliance with their dealer franchise agreements as to selling cars. The Chevy dealer does in fact make a very low percentage commission on the deal rightfully so. It is their product line of which they own a franchise and are entitled to some profit from a sale in their market.
