So I gave up on the one I've been waiting on!
Dealership's owner got a 2nd allocation for himself (30 days after mine) and in came in this week.
11:00: Salesman called and told me owner's wife was coming in for a test drive, and asked if I wanted it if she turned it down, I said sure.
12:15: My daughter texted me and informed me the dealership in her town had a LCFE for sale (same color). I called and asked for an out the door price (taxes included).
2:00: Original salesman called and told me, owners wife test drove it and didn't like it and if I wanted it. I said well........... Tuscaloosa Toyota has one on the lot at MSRP + dealer costs and if they would match the price, I'd be there in 20 mins to buy it. He said he'd call me back.
2:15: Orig salesman texted me, stating him and his manager checked on the one in Tuscaloosa and it had been sold. and the price was the price as they weren't making any more of them.
2:10: New salesman called, yes it was available and was "X" dollars out the door. I said I'd take it and gave him a deposit. Picking in up on Monday and they were about to close (it's a 2, 1/2 hour drive from me).
2:30: I texted the orig salesman, told him I was sorry for wasting his time and was going to pass as Tuscaloosa was coming in 9K under his best deal. (Old deal taxes were not included, new deal they were, so 9K actual dollars).
2:31: He texted "I'm telling you it's not available we called" I replied yes it was and I'll be picking it up Monday...........
So........ I lost my 1K non-refundable deposit.
Gained: PPF, Lifetime powertrain warranty (through that dealership), window tint, taxes included in the price, vertical cargo net, all weather cargo mat (now I have two), paint sealant and still saved 8K.
