Angry $10,000 markup at serramonte dealership, 6 ppl bought it!!

I visited the serramonte dealership in daly city, near san francisco today and they told me $10,000 markup! He knows that i know my stuff about the evo and the sti. When i brought up the STI and the pricing, he said hes not worry the cars won't sell, because 6 idiots already bought the cars off them!! They are the head dealership in the district and are going to have 10 cars, i get to see the car for sure next week in the showroom, but $10,000 is WAY to much.

If anyone knows a dealership in CA for cheaper, please tell,,,

IMO even $10 is way too much. Another dealer trying to cash in on the hype...

I can't get a hold of anyone to post this up, but Mike Smith Auto in Beaumont TX is selling them for MSRP or less. I went and talked about it this past Tuesday because I had to go get a price on a foglight that was busted out on the eclipse. I told her that dealerships were marking them up and I asked how much they'd go for, and she said 28K and I said your not going to overprice? and she said hell no, they base their business off of word of mouth, so I guess we're lucky lol.

A lot of the bay area dealerships are marking up quite a bit. besides the dealership i am going to, the cheapest i could find was a 2K mark-up. I must admit that i didn't try very hard since i already know where i'm getting mine.

Yes Mike Smith is one of my best kept secrets here. All the people are very nice. I have the first car White A00 and wizardofoz has the second car from that dealership. Right now I don't think they have any more allocated though. I hope they get more though, since they are really cool.

Geez, I talked to them a couple of months ago and they said $5K over. That was already way too much. I thought they were smoking some bad ones and they would never sell many cars at that high a price. Who the hell are these people that are crazy enough to buy it at $10K over?

...and I almost called them to inquire about one... glad I didn't waist my time

PS with a $5000 markup, do you still think that they'll put one of those big honking RICART chromed plastic advertisements on the back of it? I would not stand for it! RIP it off before you leave the lot... make sure their watchin'.... he he he

10,000 over MSRP? There are much better cars I can get for that, maybe even cheaper. The Volvo S60R comes to mind. 2.5L 5 cylinder turbo, 300hp. 295lb ft from 1250-5000rpm. 6 speed, electronic suspension, AWD, luxury interior, and more for 38,000 give or take a few. There is also the STi.
