No problem. I absolutely despise dealerships that try pulling shit like that, whatever brand they are. My local Ford dealer tried to pull the same crap on me. The day before I visited the dealer that offered me the best price (which was some 50 miles away), I decided, for only god knows why, to give my local dealer (which was only 3 miles away from home), one more chance at earning my business (the day before my X-plan contact decided to go MIA; told the dealer that and they decided to go no lower than MSRP...). I walked in late in the day, showroom had no customers, only 4-5 salesmen. I struck a conversation with one of them, and after a few minutes of BSing back in forth, eventually talked about ordering a GT. Right off the bat they told me they would order me one at MSRP, and no lower. Told the guy that I found a dealer willing to order me at $300 invoice (and I said it loud enough that everyone in the room heard me).
The salesmen seemed pretty amused; they were all laughing their collective asses off. Then, one of the older salesmen demanded which dealership made the offer to me, to which I replied "why do you care? can you beat the price or not?". At which point the salesman basically calls the dealership, and me, liars and then pretty much get as close as they can to telling me I'm full of shit (without actually telling me I'm full of shit). They then have the audacity to tell me there's no way I'm getting an '11 for anything less than sticker, and then told me to basically settle for a '10. Someway, somehow I manage to keep my rage in check, let them give me their cards, and thanked them for their time. The cards eventually made for some excellent target practice at the local range however, so the trip wasn't a total loss, I guess...
