There are other dealerships outside of California doing a market adjustment on the car. It's industry-wide right now with the current shortage of new cars with every manufacturer. You should see the markups on 2022 Tundra and high end luxury models like the G-Wagen and Escalade. Unreal.

(Searching for #250)
So that was an eventful day. I called on 91 allocations today. Many were already sold and gone, or still on the way but pre-sold. Surprisingly found many still available sitting in the showroom.

No luck on #250. I did find some cool numbers, like #123, but it sold by the afternoon.

The glaring issue is that nobody knows what the number is until it arrives at the dealership, and by then it may already be pre-sold. Or otherwise likely already sold by the time I would call. And if I call one day too early (even one hour too early) before the car physically gets there, they still wont know what number they’re getting.

This is pretty insane and I may give up soon, but if anyone comes across #250, please feel free to DM me!
(I might be able to offer a car experience that would make it worth your while )

This will be a long shot, but if anyone comes across #250 or learns what dealership will be getting it, could you please please let me know?

compromise if you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay out the door at Steven’s Creek, I’m supposed to get mine next week from there. Just want to see if there’s any differences.

Trying to figure out if we have an error in the registry. Last 4 of you VIN 1598? We had one from that same dealer as #252. Wondering if we made a mistake.

It is 1598. Just curious, what information is available in the registry?
