I've negotiated out of those before; however, no dealer was willing to waive this fee (pure profit for them) on this car. No incentive.

Now based of what other dealers are offering it feels like they are taking advantage of me. I can walk and if I convince 2 people to buy from another dealership, they've already lost 2 sales. They would have been better off, offering me MSRP pricing. If every other maryland dealer is doing MSRP (or below), it makes them looking really bad...

Wow. I pulled my deposit at the last minute. Fitzgerald's always given me a weird vibe. like they don't really care. Granted the salesman I was dealing with was older, but he didn't seem to interested in selling me the car. Now, the new dealer I'm working with DOES seem interested; but we'll see how that goes once I take delivery of the vehicle.
I've never paid MSRP for a car, and I'm not about to ever pay more than MSRP. I did happen to come upon a better deal elsewhere and Fitzgerald told me that they wouldn't match it and would likely be selling cars at MSRP. Sure, Fitz...Sure. MSRP isn't exactly a bad deal, but it's also more than I would hope to pay. Though as we've been shown, it doesn't seem many dealers have any incentive to sell below MSRP.
FWIW, when the WRX was purchased new from Fitzgerald in 2001, they attempted a $1k markup on delivery despite the fact they had agreed via email to sell it at invoice + a few hundred. Generally they have good prices, but they give me the stealership vibe pretty hard.

He said I have the same chance at my dealer as any other Indiana/Kentucky dealer and since I'm the first and only to ask about the BRZ they will take my order/deposit Thursday. So I'll be in and hope a car comes in sooner than later.
I'm feeling better about all of this now. Can't wait for my WR Blue Limited 6 MT.
