Every dealer listed here is eventually going to sell at or below msrp...its just supply and demand, every new hot car goes through this. plenty of people willing to pay a premium to get things first.
i'm with the majority as well, i wouldnt pay a markup. its greedy, but it is their right, just like its our right to pass on buying.

I don't know how rare the deception is but I don't believe it's uncommon.
You getting your deal in writing doesnt force them to stick to their list they can just keep pushing you down the list
