This is in sync with what i have been told by those dealerships. They supposedly do not charge over msrp normally - that it's their corp policy -- so, when i started running into that 5k ADM, i questioned it and was told they are being allowed to charge the 5k for this car. When i called early on in mid-2022, my local autonation dealer had said that they only charge msrp and that they already had a deposit from a buyer. That was so early, and they prob made a change after that since when i later stated calling around to help other people, talked to 2 auto nation dealers who were "only" asking 5k over.I had agreed to a $5k markup last week, but helped my dealer locate buyers for the other two FL5s they were allocated. I attempted to get some extra action out of my deal this past weekend and the new car Sales Manager came out to explain to me why he couldn’t play ball. Take this with a grain of salt..
Apparently the reason they were selling the SGP, CW, & BB for $5K ADM is due to AutoNation Corporate capping the ADM the dealership is allowed to place on the vehicles.
The GM understands the L they’re taking by being capped so he won’t accept anything less than $5K per vehicle.
not true...autonation stores can go up to $10k as an adm plus accessoriesI had agreed to a $5k markup last week, but helped my dealer locate buyers for the other two FL5s they were allocated.

ol fashioned competition, always a good thing for the consumer!Hopefully all them ADMs drop a bit after this morning's Type-S reveal. Acura dealers are already taking deposits on MSRP sales and the Type-S is gonna have much better overall option package.
I’m not doubting what you paid pal, calm downKeep in mind I already signed the purchase sheet that shows what I'm agreeing to pay. Balance due $53,680 OTD.![]()
