I’m assuming Alex works at Mattel. I was there for about 10 years. You can’t imagine the cool stuff that would show up in the parking lots.

Obviously these type of dealership do not believe in long term relationship. They will be the first one to cry over direct selling model like Tesla, which hopefully become more popular down the road.

Asked my sales guy yesterday about this. Said they sell at MSRP and usually don’t get anything in writing, but could get something in writing if I wanted.
