My heart really bleeds for the poor dealers. [not]

When demand is high for an especially hot model, dealers can & do sell
them for well over the MSRP, sometimes $1,000's more. It's supply &
demand, if you can negotiate the price down, only a fool wouldn't. Let
the dealer worry about his own ass (just think of the profit from the
service & parts depts).

Wal-Mart has no scruples about throwing its economic weight around, does it?
