I believe the picture speaks for itself.

Note: the spelling of GAUGE.

You can't show that without also listing where and when you took the pic. We need details......

Did you talk to anyone also while there?? Come on there has to be a good knee slapper story associated with such ridiculous dealer schinannigans.

HA!
doesn't most of that come standard?

and, how would it work if I wanted to get one without the "instument (sp?) cluster" option? does that mean I would be exempt from speed limits?

Wow. Only $495 for earthing cables. That's a bargain at 5X the price!!! Do they really think people are that stupid? Gambling on the one idiot that will look past all that crap. I wish the Sopranos would go over there and stick a fork in their eyes and ask them what they see.

WOW! Those pedals are a steal at $285. Same for the wheel locks at $155. Eveything is basically 5x the real price.

I think the most expensive pedals I have seen so far were for $150 and thats by Mugen. The ones they are putting on probably cost like $30. Unbelievable!

Sad thing is, someone will probably buy it. A dealer near me said they were selling at MSRP. I later found out that to them, MSRP means sticker plus $2000. But the owner feels bad about gouging people so to make themselves feel better they give you the following items:

pedals, shift knob, and e-brake handle
gauge pak
f-r strut bars
air ducts

These parts will be conveniently located in the TRUNK of your new car. They will gladly install them for you (for a fee of course), or you can install them yourself. And no, you CANNOT buy the car without them, that would be under fair market value and they don't NEED to sell the car.

No, none of that is standard. They're all optional accessories that are extremely overpriced. The instrument cluster surround comes in blue or silver to match the blue or silver replacement pedals/shift/e-brake parts. They're not trying to charge for the actual instrument cluster itself.

Please Pardon my french, and watch out young children but...

HOLY ****ING ****. $500 for a shift knob and e-brake handle. You have to be ****ing kidding me. Are these prices Canadian or what, OMG. I can't believe I am reading this. Trying to justify their markup by throwing in some gay options. All of those items together arent even worth $500!

A local dealer here wanted $43,000 for the EVO. I told him he better plan on having his EVO's take up his showroom for quite sometimes, the moron.

God.... I agree, the Sapranoes need to pay that dealer a visit. Or

oh, ok. thanks for the clarification Blake. they are still thieves that cannot spell. you would think for $30,000+ they would at least run the spell check for you.

I didn't even notice "Instument" until you said that. Now it's just that much more pathetic.
