It drives me nuts they do business this way. I always enjoyed the owner of our stores because he would never sell over MSRP and everyone is going to get treated as a real person.

I'd have a hard time believing a sponsor wouldn't see this and pick up the lead.

It makes me want to puke when dealerships treat people like shit. There's no reason to do that even with a scarce supply, you can still be nice and if something comes up you make the sale. Oh well...

Yes i am. Is it much less in the middle? Unfortunately if that were true, the dealers here would just buy those and sell them here for more.

Pisses me off to no end when I hear dealers treating people like crap. And embarrassed that I'm in the same profession.
And the rest of the Pcar community is embarrassed you are too. Merry Christmas Buddy. Hope you got home alright!

History serving, yes. Dealers on the coast can't buy new cars on MSO's or the originating dealers lose their allocations. Scuds were being sold new for $50 to $75K more than in the central region. 458's have been a little less but not much.

Part of the difference, IMHO, is the used 430's were also bringing more there as well. Fcar trades were higher on the coast as well as the new cars.

If I could I would walk in tommorow and buy one - when I bought my 430 I paid 25k over sticker to get it - its sickening...

Is this typical for the USA?
Because here in Europe most of the people spec their cars personally.
