unfortunitely it's supply and demand, lots of people want the SI and there
are few of them around, not trying (by any means) to defend a dealer, but if
you have 1 HOT car on the lot that everyone wants, why are you going to sell
it for less than sticker, they are going ot try and get as much as possible
for it. I'm sure the 5,000 above MSRP you were quoted was the dealer seeing
dollar signs, and him "comming down" to 2,000 over MSRP is him "giving you a
deal" (the old, hey, I like your face, tell you what I'll do, I'll come down
3,000 form my price, but thats the best I can do) and if you walk out, he'll
sell it to someone else. espically if he's getting multiple calls on this
car, and they have 1 with another not comming in for a while.
