guys, please dont reward bad dealership even you can afford it.
My local dealership contacted me and asked me to buy from them with 10K ADM. I declined and told them I have agreed to buy one in NYS at MSRP.
They got back to me said they are willing to match the price.....But still decided not to go with them.
ADM is only worth it when purchasing Porsche GT cars..

Back in the summer of 2000, there were buyers who paid $5,000 over MSRP just for a PT Cruiser. Imagine what are their feelings six months later?

History will repeat itself, there is always people with that level of patience and judgement.

NGL the Incognito looks amazing in that car.

Random question, were you able to add the car to your app without activating the trials?

Is this by any chance our friends at Lexus of North Miami? I texted with one of their reps a week ago. He told me about the two LE's and the RCF Fuji. Back then he was estimating 10k - 15k mark up on the LE's. Looks like it goes up by 5k each week LMAO!

I had to activate the trials, but you can cancel them and still retain the remaining amount of time, which for me is 2 years 11 months and 29 days since I accidentally activated for one day, lol.

They Included this on the 2021 LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series.

There is a form included with the new car paperwork that you send in to get your luggage.
