How about this: The initial SVT license is $100K then $12K a year after that, you have to stock $50K in parts, another $50K in personel training (sales, service writers, techs). They have been selling SVT for 5 years now and are just now starting to break even on them. So before they even see much less sell an SVT on their lot they are out of pocket over $212K dollars that they make back on the SVT's they only get alotted 8 L's a year, 5-10 Cobra's a year when produced. On those they make $3-4K a piece profit. That is a lot of SVT's to pay off the start up debt. Plus they moved more than 3 times their alotment this year why should they deal? There is obviously enough business for all types around here. I think you should buy your first one for sticker then get a break after that
. I remember Chevy selling Vette's 5K over sticker on a car they made 30,000 of a year when they first came out now that is crazy... If you guys still feel the same after learning the behind the scenes scoop you are a cold blooded bunch
. Have a good weekend

Oh yeah Bankston also threw in $20K dollars to the On Track event to make it happen for us. Don't you feel bad now, LOL. They are also the new Southern region directors so be nice to them.
