There's a difference between a greedy dealer and a dealer who knows how to expand profit. But "Market Adjustments" are a joke.

Installing things like leather for mark-up is a little different because technically you've paid for something. It's like buying a 16.9oz $7 soda at an amusement park.

The fact is, the cars with those upgrades will sell.

My dad sold all 3 of his FR-S's with a similar upgrade in the 3 days they were for sale, and the buyers didn't care. The leather is pretty nice from what I heard too. It keeps the red stitching and integrates the 'FR-S' logo.

Just let the dealers earn profit from someone else who don't care. If you don't want it, go to another dealership...it's that simple. If other dealerships don't have it completely stock, then wait for the next allocations if it's worth the extra price (If it were me, I'd wait for a stock one.)

Someone also called him and asked if they'll sell one without leather, and they definitely will.
