    We need to seriously reward dealers who stick to MSRP pricing. The enthusiast market is small so anything we can do to help dealers who are honest, goes a long way. Shout out Bergstrom automotive.

    Edit: I said epitome very wrong i guess 🤣
    I have to thank Bergstrom Automotive for not marking this car up to oblivion. I'm going to be honest, I had absolutely zero faith I would ever get my hands on one of these and when I did, I immediately got defensive on how the pricing would shake out. They didn't know much about me, so when they said "We don't mark up our cars" it felt authentic. Not just because we do RUclips stuff, but because they told me before I even asked about a potential markup. Truly a breath of fresh air and I gotta say thank you. May not seem like much pre 2020, but it means a lot these days.
    OTHERWISE, I would love to hear your thoughts on the car, what we should do first with it, and maybe even a few mods (wheel ideas). If you want to see the BOYS take delivery of the car for MartiniWorks, the other video is here - ruclips.net/video/2LUi9OvaZYc/видео.html

Dealing with sales/finance people is miserable. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you didn't ask for those options but they force you to pay for them anyway.
