Yes, I have found that a certified check from a local bank does help.!!!

I walked into a small Pennsylvania AD for the first time this week, they offered 9% discount on a SubC and a Explorer - I walked out with the Explorer :-)

DoctorA-to answer your question, "no."

Best,

I think we buyers make this possible!
If we don’t accept to pay full price or grey price in some case then sellers maybe think twice when want to sell

Hearing this crap just makes me very confident that I will never buy from an AD.they really think people buy into this crap?

Where do you buy from? I have only purchased my three pieces from my AD at this point but I'm interested in other options... Do you have recommendations? Thanks

The no discount is partially the fault of those who are too impatient to wait and pay rrp. Some are so impatient and have the money to pay extra so dealers know they won’t lose any profit on the sports models.

Agreed, I won’t pay msrp for anything other than a Daytona SS currently and even that bothers me. There’s always ups and downs can’t blame the AD & greys for making it while up because we are like vultures when it’s down.

Patience typically pays off.

Yup, all about building relationships over the years...I'm lucky my dad is a big watch guy, so he started building those relationships many, many years ago and laid the groundwork for me to carry on the torch.
