The dealer wanted an extra $20,000. $55,000 for the Launch Edition was bad enough, but an Extra $20,000?!

For $75000 I could almost get three twins!

I got on this forum and learned about the car I was about to buy... a Zupra!
A BMW Z4 reskinned and sold under the Supra moniker.. how sad.

Now I’m looking into the 2019 Subaru BRZ. Better car, better price.
I recall this crap happened when the FRS/BRZ released as well and often happens to any highly anticipated release. Focus RS was another one I know this happened to. Within 6 months to a year from release, dealer markup disappeared in all cases.
