The owner of my dealership called me yesterday to see if I really wanted the interior accent pkg. He didn't think I knew what it was about. Actually I filled him in, then e-mailed pics. He was surprised. He also wanted to let me know they still couldn't order polished wheels with the RS. Had to explain that to him also.

To get back on thread tho, out of an allotment of 4, I talked him out of charging me $10,000 over MSRP over a month ago. Benefit of being a multiple repeat customer.
I asked him yesterday if he had sold the other 3. He said he sold
1 @ $10,000 over
1 @ $8,000 over and
working a deal for $5,000 over on the last one. Approximately $30,000 profit on three cars, considering difference between invoice on the car as well as options, and OVER MSRP price.
I think it shameful doing that to the enthusiast that wants this car while demand is high.
