Having to visit 6 dealerships sounds very extreme, mind you that discount is huge.
Pure Price had nothing at all to do with charging MSRP. Nothing.
There was nothing ever saying that dealers were tied to that or any other price. All Pire Price meant was they had to have the same price on all forms of advertising for each individual car. If they wanted to sell black ones for $25K and white ones for $30K they could.


You are correct though that there is not much margin so $3K under MRSP would have probably cost them money.
