[Shotimes] You gotta be kidding me

[Ron Porter]

The issue is getting a new vehicle from a dealer with the options that you
want. Bill wants a wagon, with is a totally different desire than the sedan,
and much of the stuff is dealer-installed. It has been this way with
Japanese cars for many years. FWIW, I had the same issues with a 1977 Celica
Fastback that I was gonna buy (until I then bought the used '71 454 Vette
instead!).

I spent a lot of time in Colombia working.  While there I dreamed of buying
a Subaru WRX Sport Wagon with some performance options.  So I go to the
dealer today to talk about ordering one up and am I in for a surprise.  I go
to the web site beforehand and the car stickers out at $29,900.  I just got
a call from my "friendly" dealer and my car as delivered will only cost me
$31,900.  He explains that there is an installation charge for 8 of my
options.  Such items as optional wheels and tires carry an installation
charge?  There is a performance guage pak.  Price $638 plus an installation
charge.  These people are nuts.  $2000 to install some stuff.  That Cadillac
CTS-V is looking real good even if it doesn't come in white.
