My manager wants me to go back to my desk and demand more money from the customer. My customer wants me to go to my manager's office and demand more concessions from him. My interests are aligned with both; displease my customer and I have no opportunity to sell a car. Displease my manager and I have no opportunity…

What Rob Gio said is the crux of the issue. We, like everyone else, work on an hourly basis. We may get commission (some of us get flat pay per car), but at the end of the day our goal is to maximize our profit compared to time invested.
That's typically along the lines of what I say. It depends on the conversation. Unless you've worked in the business you can't really relate to the variety of calls we get. Nice person who is polite and takes the time to convey a genuine interest? Sure, I'll help. Combative asshole who refuses to give me a name…

Simple solution: pay MSRP, accept dealer's first offer on trade-in value! Time spent: 0 minutes.

A Mini, albeit in high demand at it's launch, is in no way comparable to a handmade carbon fiber supercar.
Then I have good news for you: that car is set to be officially revealed June 24 of this year (Alfa Romeo's 105th birthday), with arrival towards the end of 2015.
Does it count if we know it's coming, but it's not out yet?
It's unfortunate you're dealing with crappy Alfa Romeo dealers. While communication hasn't been the greatest, there's no sense in expressing that frustration to consumers. The 4C is a unique vehicle in that it brings the supercar build process and technology to a market that is accustomed to different standards and…

The Smoker's Package:
To those who say that Schumi just had the best car, I always have the same reply:
Alfa Romeo 4C has a cargo/occupant weight limit of 344lbs.
Fleet sales, man. Started my career at a Lincoln Mercury dealer, never sold a single new TC but used ones flew off the lot as soon as they arrived, as long as they were cheap.
