I love that color too! For myself tho I would have preferred black seatbelts and black carpet. Itās just a tad over the top. Still love the color tho.

Little update: Signed the paperwork on my 'Demo' yesterday.
Dealer complied with all my wishes and left all the accessories off the car (everything planned to go on their first 'regular' allocation). The car is sitting pretty inside their showroom with 3 miles on the odometer. OTD was just over $55K but as stated previously, I can't take delivery until 6/19 due to the 30 day requirement - at which time I'll pay the balance.
I realize a lot of dealerships have their demo marked sky high....but I was pleasantly surprised at how mine worked with me and kept it at MSRP. Almost every other dealer in my state is asking $5-10K ADM but this one knew my #1 preference was white with red interior - and knew I wasn't a player with the cost of the car with all the added accessories. I'm happy they delivered on their promise to get me what I wanted. They even left the front plate off at my request
There are still good dealers out there!

First post,
I've bought several limited production/high demand vehicles at MSRP in the last decade. I thought I had it figured out. Haven't been able to crack this one yet. I've been told by dealers that these demos are basically untouchable. Seems to be a lot confusion out there. Can't secure a test drive, can't seem to realize these vehicles will be saleable units.

Dealers are unable to sell them for 30 to 60 days. There is a Honest dealer thread that shows what dealers are MSRP. Your best bet is to check that list contact and contact a local dealer. From there probably put a deposit down to hold a spot in line.

Yes, I'm aware of the above info. I've been lurking here since March. As I've said this isn't my first rodeo either. I appreciate the feedback and please take no offense, but that list is not the end all be all.

It is super interesting how almost every dealer is different with their approach to these demos. And you're absolutely right- most of them are marking them up to the sky. I'm guessing it's to set a precedent, knowing that you just can't get one yet? Doesn't seem like a good business model to me... especially when some of these cars are actively being abused. There is enough evidence in this forum, plus my own experience where I could have driven however I wanted to on my test drive to warrant some legitimate concern. Some people are going to absolutely thrash these cars...Little update: Signed the paperwork on my 'Demo' yesterday.

It is good to see that at least one dealer is just going to use a car as eye candy in the showroom and leave it unmolested for its future owner, while also honoring a solid deal in today's market. I hope to get a similar treatment without having to make it a full time job tracking down a tolerable dealer with an available car/allocation.

I'm going to keep posting this in as many relevant threads as possible. It might help those still looking to secure a car. I can confirm there are deals to be had on unclaimed launch edition dealer demos. Myself and a few others on this forum have gotten them for around $58k-$59k.
