Trail Edition Lease...just made a deal

[LWN]

I think the opposite argument could be made... a consumer paying $1,300 over invoice - even for a vehicle that's "in demand" is a fool. I have a buddy here in Colorado who just paid invoice for a TE and he felt he got screwed, but decided any more back and forth with the dealer was gonna send him to a mental institution.

That's impressive - perhaps the TE isn't as rare in Colorado as it is in the SE. To me it's just Economics 101 - Supply & Demand. If a dealer has a waiting list of folks to buy a vehicle that takes two months to acquire, he's not too smart to sell it at invoice. Congrats to your friend though - wish I could have saved a grand on mine.
