That's disappointing.
I kinda liked the idea of someone paying a premium (i.e. over list price)
basically to be the guinea pig on a brand new car.
Makes economic sense too. Pay $1,000 or whatever, over list to get a vehicle
with
the bugs yet to be worked-out that is worth less than any that will be
subsequently produced, not even considering the "bend over, have I got a deal
for
you" premium.
I looked at Hondas some years ago. Just to break 'em off on the salesman, I
pointed to the add-on $1,500.00 "market adjustment" item on the sticker and
asked
what this represented. His answer was something to the effect: "That's the
market
adjustment". "Huh"? "That's the price to bring it in line with what people will
pay." (Pinch me.)
I'm interested in one of these Beemers, I mean, Mini's also, but I don't pay
over
list for anything. Never have and never will. Unless it is for Innocenti parts
that is.
