Very highly unlikely.
He wouldn't honor truecar.com for the GT, but I'm sure someone will.
Great feedback. I knew the whole x-plan for special orders only was BS, but I did second guess myself for awhile. Thanks for the advice.Most of the time you will get that kind of a response if you fit into one of three categories:
1) You fall in love with the car and literally act as if you need THAT car. As was said before, you have to be willing to walk away or else they will play hardball. No dealer will just quote you a low number because they have done it for someone before, the circumstances are all different.
2) You look young and inexperienced. Usually the young and inexperienced do not know as much about the process to negotiate to get the best price possible. Again, they have to feed their families too and dealerships are eating off of breadcrumbs more and more with competition and internet.
3) You have terrible credit. They are taking a higher risk so they are going to try to recoup as much as possible from those folks to balance with the risk.
If you want the best deal, go in with your homework done. The "xplan is for special orders only" is complete nonsense, so do not fall for that. My guess is that you showed a great amount of love for the car and they thought you were more likely to continue negotiating or otherwise not be willing to walk away. Go in with quotes from other dealers for similar cars. There is no reason that the dealer HAS to quote you a low price, but there is equally no reason why you HAVE to consider it. Walking away is very powerful, you should always respond with a target of yours (lower than you are willing to pay). The number of people that walk in, test drive then never call or speak to the dealer again is probably very large, so there is no compelling reason for them to aggressively call you and try to lower the price to get you to come back.
Not sure if this helps.
