North Alabama. I reached out to most all of the dealers in my region as well as, Atlanta, Tennessee, and South Carolina. The story was the same for them as well
I reached out to several of those dealers listing at MSRP. NONE of them would actually sell the car at MSRP. Every quote I got had SOME type of markup anywhere from $7,500-$10,000 whether they had it listed as “market adjustment,“ Dealer Prep Package”, or etc.
I dont typically go to meets, BUT would be more than happy to show you the car. If you are in the Madison area near county line road - my office is there and it will always be parked out front, or I could even meet you somewhere half way so you can take a look :)
Long time lurker - First time poster. Happy to join the “Brilliant Black” club :) Got very lucky with a local dealer in North Alabama. Completely a right place at the right time stroke of luck. Also - same boat as the OP - 5K market adjustment….BUT, that was much better than what I was...
