That must be a Canada thing, CTR's are all selling well above MSRP. Even here in the middle of the country.
The dealership model in the US is screwed. I wanted to buy a Focus RS a few years ago, went in to 3 different Ford dealerships in the OKC area. They wouldn't even let me test drive one without a signed sales agreement. Even with them trying to sell them well above MSRP.
Sorry guy, I'm not signing a sales agreement on a $40k car that you won't even let me get behind the wheel. I can assure you my income/credit score isn't in question.
That's why we had so few sold. The same thing is happening with other sporty cars, dealers are tryin to rake customers over the coals, enthusiasts won't pay, then the cars get cancelled.
