I was cross shopping a wrx until I felt how gooey the shifter felt. Getting a dark horse instead for the tremec. I owned a 21 Mach 1 for about a year. That shifter feel with the mechanical linkage was chefs kiss.
Don't think ADM is going away. Dealers are highly incentivized to make sure that the customer who ordered a vehicle is the same customer that buys it though. There are penalties such as losing allocations if the dealer sells the vehicle to a different customer.
That said, some dealers are...
FYI, I called that dealership to see what their markup is on their dark horse allocations (of which they have 5 that they haven't filled yet). And it's 30K over MSRP.
Sorry I didn’t ask about the back seats.
Looks like leather in this video though:
he shows the back seats at 13:35. And it’s a fully loaded 700A dark horse 6 speed.
I secured one of my dealer’s dark horse allocations today. None of the dealers around me are doing MSRP. And Granger has a 70+ person waiting list as of today when I last spoke with them over the phone. All said and done I am paying $7K over sticker.
Spec:
700A
