I did mention this. I told him what I'd pay for the car when I emailed him back. The car is in its' 3rd production year. This dealer is trying to act like it just came out

 

Anyway.. it sounds like the dealer knows you really want to buy it from them because its so close to you, and they are giving you crap. They are hinting at going into the whole "order the car and wait" game until you suck it up and buy the premium package. I have friends who have gotten suckered into it and it can last for many months with lots of phone calls and stress. My local dealer for some reason thinks they are special and wanted too much money for my car so I had to go elsewhere. Its not ideal, but trust me its not worth the headache when you are dealing with people who want to play games with you.

 

I suspect it is more likely that the dealer, recognizing that no premium package will appeal only to a small segment of the total market, is reluctant to order a vehicle so far out of the main stream because if in the event the sale does not go thru with you for any reason he will have a more difficult problem finding a new buyer.

 

Update: I found a salesman that is a fellow alumni. I sent him an email stating what I wanted and what price that I'd pay. I'm meeting him next week on my day off to drop the deposit off and fill out a simple credit application. The deposit is non refundable but I'm cool with that. I guess I need to email this dealer I've been working with and tell them see you suckers The guy that emailed me back today was so cool he pulled out the VPP pricing and tried to find a company that I used to work for to sneak me in on that pricing, wow! I'm stoked! Car will be on order next week. I guess the sun shines on a dog's *** some days

 

Glad it worked out for you B!!

 

Thanks bro, got the price I wanted to, it's killer

 

Dealers order the cars they think they can sell. They can get you what you wnat you just have to wait for it. They have to pay insurance on what's on the lot so they'd rather you take from stock.

 

From my original post. The original dealer I tried to buy a car from wouldn't order me the car I wanted, even with a deposit, I offered to wait. And it wouldn't have to sit on the lot 1 frikkin day!

 

what exactly did you order mrb? did they give you a time frame?

 

Ip/stone 6MT coupe. Options: sunroof/aero package/aerokit (without spoiler)
I wanted IP/Graphite, that was my first choice but we all know what they make this year. For the last few weeks I tossed DG/G and IP/Stone back and forth, back and forth and this is what I settled for.

I drop off the deposit this week, either thurs or fri. Salesman said 3-4 months for the car to get here depending on when they get the order in, possibly sooner but I'm in no rush as I got a good deal and got what I was hunting for this whole time. I sent the original dealer a nice email as well
