[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1246809, member: 3828"] Let's just say that some advertised prices, especially those of the online variety, are not what you will end up paying. The only numbers that actually matter is what people actually shelled out to buy them. The rest is sales puffery. The ES models are holding their price closer to msrp when new, or book value when used, due to high demand. The A models are somewhat more available, thus more heavily discounted, so you will net a larger than $1000 msrp difference. For better or worse this is the "system" we have for purchases of most big ticket items (homes, cars, motorcycles, etc) It's a system of having to negotiate for your best price, shady advertised prices with hidden fees, bogus rebates, and incentives and last minute add-ons. Why we allow these sort of business practices only in the highest cost purchases that we make is a good question. Imagine if you had to haggle over the price at the local grocery store when buying a gallon of milk.? [/QUOTE]
