AD Elbow Room ?
Do AD's have to sell at MRSP or have they some elbow room to do a deal. I would be prepared to pay a reasonable premium on top to buy a SS sports model, but not the near 100% premium from the grey market ?

I am sure you could offer more if you like, wont matter if there is no inventory to sell.

I was wondering the same myself. Say you offer a few thousand above MSRP for the DaytonaC. It sucks paying a premium at an AD, but still beats the crazy premiums the grey market is asking.

Since you're in London I'm sure you know there's no way to get the popular models at list price unless you're a long-standing customer... or decide to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling to then be eligible to get a stainless steel model that is popular.

Just curious, not passing any judgements here but why would be willing to pay a premium?
