That's encouraging to hear! I would bet 51% of customers are ALWAYS willing to pay more for the car they want …easy to forget that in the dealership heat of battle.

It isn't a purchase that you'd take second best, that is for sure. And it is encouraging to see that all the news coverage isn't causing car shoppers to wait, instead, they are going to greater lengths to get the car they want!
