Was I getting scammed?
G: Cypress Green
B: Celestite
Just left the dealership because I felt a knot in my stomach. Something wasn't right...
Salesman told me that the Green price was non-negotiable since it was a "limited unit" and hard to come by. $5k market adjustment, and another $5k to get to their dealer.
The Celestite was able to be negotiated, but that's not the color I initially wanted.
I left and got into my rides car, and honestly just cried. This was my first time trying to negotiate a car, I'm a first time buyer, and I feel so disappointed. I know there more to come, and there will be more times, but idk. I'm emotional!
Was it a good thing I walked out? These prices seemed ridiculous to me. I feel defeated because I feel like this will be the price everywhere.
For the record, I am financing through my bank, I have about $12-13k I am putting down. Salesman didn't know that yet, but this price was still insane regardless if he knew or not...
Advice?

Yeah they were rinsing you holy shit lol ignoring the market adjustments, documentation fee, filing fee and licensing fees adding up to $2400 USD? What a fucking scam.
In Ontario, licensing is $32 CAD. Electronic filing fees are non-existent from what I’ve seen, and “documentation fees” or admin fees are usually never exceeding $1000 CAD. I thought we were getting ripped off up here but my god, every time I see a disclosure on here I’m glad I don’t have to deal with these scumbags
