Just a quick update on the situation in So. Cal. if you don't already know.
A number of dealers I spoke to now ask for $100 deposit to get on the wait list, in the form of a check which they said they would not cash. All said they sell at MSRP.
Only one dealer still wanted $500 and said he needed to cash the money. He also sells at MSRP. He said his wait list is now 40 people and about 4 weeks, 10 days ago it was 80 people and 4 months. He sold less than 10 cars since then, the rest just dropped off the list. (Don't forget many people are on multiple wait lists).
May be the new production level and the new allocation are easing the situation somewhat, if everyone is sticking to their gun and would only pay MSRP.
One dealer still wants $3000 over MSRP. Another still has a 2nd list for $3000 over MSRP besides her official list at MSRP, of course she told me, as before, that the wait on the MSRP list is 10 months and urged me to get on her other list which is 2-4 weeks.
Don't give in to price gauging, and support those who honor the MSRP.
