I only mention as a heads-up to others who might be in a similar situation. I think my scenario was a little rare because I made the deal with what turned out to be a markup dealer before they knew how hot the new 86 would get. If I tried to pull the trigger just a few weeks or a month later I don't think they would have agreed to MSRP. I guess kudos to them for not throwing me under the bus sooner?

I'm sorry about that news...what scum.



The sooner the dealer sales model dies, the better. I'm ready for direct ordering and simply having the dealer for service and deliveries.


I've been looking to buy a CX-30 Turbo, but no one is really all that interested in selling to me at MSRP without mark-ups or dealer add-ons (and reducing that to writing).
