If you paid 2k over MSRP then you SHOULD be pissed off. When I was shopping
for an R/T in So. Cal. I called about 10 dealers in the State. There was a
dealer in the San Diego area (if I recall that's where you're from) who was
asking $26.7k for a CC. Don't remember the dealership name but Richard
Gillmore was the sales manager. I told him I found 3 other dealers who were
asking for MSRP. He was willing to match it but no better. I am surprise a
dealer would sell it for much less than MSRP since they all know it's a very
limited/desirable model. I don't know the car sales business but it seems
that any R/Ts that a dealership receives is as good as gold and only the
most "connected" salesperson could make the deal and pocket the commish. I
was handed off to a "senior" salesman after the first guy I talked to
realized I was serious about the R/T.

Well,
Im Hacked. The more I know, the more pissed I get. What
would motivate the
WI dealer to discount his R/T? I know "my" dealer saw me
coming a mile off,
but Im a basically good person (with a lead foot) that Just
wanted an R/T.
I didnt deserve (IMHO) the 2K markup. Spilt milk...
Anyhow, Does anyone
know if any Mopar perf parts are available for the '98 360
package?
headers and computer are the main ones Im after.
