Looked for many months calling dealerships across the country to purchase a GT at MSRP. Many dealership representatives laughed at me and said it would never happen. The other excuse used was "why would we sell our unit to an out-of-town client when we will never see them for a repeat sale or vehicle service". It never occurred to them about a stepping stone towards customer loyality. All were interested in up front sales markup.
Finally came across a dealership in Virginia who had advertised his blue/white in AutoTrader. Called the dealership and they said, ooohhh you have to talk the dealership GM and they got him on the line. (He now owns the dealership) Although he ultimately offered the 4 option blue/white on the showroom floor to me at MSRP, I opted for his 06 allocation and ordered my 2 option Tungsten from him. 10 years ago in April. Best purchase I ever made.
Oh, and as far as dealership loyalty, even though located 770 miles from the dealership, I have managed to arrange/execute the purchase of 9 additional vehicles from him. He certainly understands taking care of the customer.:wink Why would I go anywhere else?
