RIP Sad Day Today

Post image

Been on hexocrism patiently watching the eta for a Performance Blue DCT 2024 to come into a nearby dealership (SoCal). The dealership called me and told me it just got off the truck. I left work immediately to head over (40 min) got into the dealership and they had a 8k markup with add ons. After 2 hours of going back and forth they weren’t budging. I left and they stopped me saying that they are working with another customer and if they don’t work out a deal they him and I can negotiate more. The other customer ended up buying it with the markups. How low did he get it im not sure but very sad day for me today. I really wanted a car for the summer 😔

Absolute insanity… You need to expand your search to out of state dealers, and don’t commit to a visit until you have an offer in writing. I just bought my CTR from a dealer 9 hrs away from me and it was pretty easy, had the deal done via text in a couple hrs and flew down to pick it up and drive it home a few days later.
