The further you get away from Chicago proper, the more willing some dealers are to deal. Not in all cases though. I bought my Shadow Black from Haggerty in West Chicago. When they got the car in June of last year, they had an ADM of 10k over. After the car sat a couple of months on the showroom floor, they moved it to a dark corner in the back of the shop. Buy August they had dropped the ADM to 2k over.Where around here did you get that car for invoice price?
I was selling them my ScatPac via Bluebook at the end of August when I found out they had the Shelby in the back. When I looked at it, it was covered in dust. I told them that if they would clean the car and pull it out in the sun for me to look at we may do a deal. They did, and the car passed muster. I told them I'd be a buyer at sticker, but no higher. The salesman checked with his boss and came right back and shook my hand. The rapidity with which he returned made me think I should've thrown out a lower offer than I did. But I'm content with what I paid.
There's dealers in the Northern Illinois area still sitting on R's from 2017 with 20k ADM's. I guess they don't mind paying the monthly interest.
