I called another dealer today. It was Clarksville Mazda. I just so happen to get a woman salesperson....heehee..... Well I told her I wanted some info on the MSP and said well....our managers just got back from the MSP demo in Houston. She then proceeded to run down the list of the features...stumbling along the way many times, but the funniest was when she said Tokyo Shocks.... After a few tics, I said can I talk to the guy that was at the demo, she said, well I can tell you...I was like whatever..... and she said if I can get your name and number I can call you back with more info.
She calls me back 5 minutes later and said that there wasn't any more info available than what you see in mags. I then asked about a date, she said they should be in, in late november. I then asked what are they going to sell for she then told me they are going to mark them up 2 - 3K past MSRP. :bs: I was like, well I just happen to have a memo from a VP of Sales that says you shouldn't be marking them up at all.
I said why would I pay 3K markup when I can go to Nissan and pay 5K less for something very comparable. Or if I wanted to pay that much I could go get a WRX. She then informed me that they had 3 MP3's and they marked them up 3K and sold everyone of them. I then told her I have talked to many dealers and I have a deposit with a dealer for MSRP. She tries to give me more BS and I just say politely thank you for you time and hung up on her ass....man I will never do business with someone who treats me like that!

The dealer markup thing is ridiculous...nobody should have to ever pay above MSRP.
