I just got on the list and Desert European. I spoke to them a month ago and called back yesterday to get on the list and got a surprise. I was told they are no longer taking reservations at msrp. He said he would put me on the list at msrp + $5k. Has anyone else been told this by a dealer? I was under the impression that being on "the list" meant you waited like everyone else for a car at msrp. I got on the list anyway and am excited about eventually being the proud owner of my very own elise. I went to Desert because I had a good recommendation from someone in this forum and a bad experience at Symbolic. Anyone noticed anything similar?
I wouldn't be surprised if the price dropped a bit and when it comes time to order. There may very well be an argument if I hear about cars going for msrp at other places or being resold by people that realized they don't like street legal track cars without hand stitched leather and all the plush. The market for the elise is going to need to be in a state that convinces me I have to pay my dealer $5k extra because I can't find one anywhere else for less. I am interested to hear what other new on the list types were told when they signed up.
