Forgot to follow up on the saga of my second Rebel order (that got a window sticker on Saturday night). The dealer confirmed that the invoice from the factory invoice does indeed charge the extra $1870 above what was shown on my POC in early November. And he says they did away with price protections. They're going to work with me on it, supposedly. They want to sit down and put everything together (trade-in value on the TRX, revised price on the Rebel) and work out a fair deal. Guess we'll see how it shakes out when the Rebel is sitting on the lot.
Worst case scenario, I keep the TRX (that would break my heart)....
I would totally not give in on any of your demands. You have the trx...so you can't lose at this point..lol
For my situation, I don't have a trx to use for leverage, but with my rebel, I'm pretty happy with it it. It's a couple trims higher than the big horn (back country) that I ordered and waited for 6 months, so I think I'm at a good place now to just sit and wait...unless they blow me away with a deal. After chatting with my sales rep, it's a business...so their business is to make as much as they can, and it's our business to pay the least we can.
We can both walk away with something better that what we originally planned...lol.
