While I commend you for trying (never hurts right?), I don't think you'll get very far. They don't NEED to do anything. YOU agreed to buy the car for that price. When you buy a TV and a few months later it goes on sale, do you call up the manufacturer and store and demand some compensation because you paid a higher price? A bit ridiculous don't you think? As far as the Mfg to dealer incentives- the dealer doesn't have to pass this along to the customer. It's a business after all and if they can sell for a higher price and profit, why not?

It's not ridiculous, as for the tv comment. That's why most stores have price match. If it goes on sale or a competitor sells it for less they reimburse you the difference. As for do I plan to sell the car. Yes I never keep cars long. I'm always buying and selling them. So resale value is important. I planned on keeping this z till the next version came out then buy that. By them dropping the price the way they did it puts anyone who bought their car this year in a huge hole. A hole that was not there when they made the purchase. If u ask most people would you buy this car at that same price knowing that its gonna loose that much value most people would not buy. I understand depreciation and how it works this z is my 36th car. Basicly they changed all the factors of the cars pricing and what it's worth and for those of us who have done a recent purchase took the loss. Which I'm not ok with. So I will do what I can to recoupe what I have lost. As I said before it was a cooperate decision to change the price. Would you go buy a z for $37000 right now? Of course not nobody would. If u had my car for a year or more then I prob wouldn't be as mad. But it's been a few months and I'm not ok with it. U dont have to agree with me on it. But it's how I feel and I will do my best to get what I think is right. I would o into more detail but I'm doing this from my phone at work and its a pain to try n type long responses
