Dealer's Marketing Scheme..

So I was looking at the new si yesterday at a local dealership... anyways I noticed that there were two kinds of Si according to the dealer. Apparently, this local dealership will put Si wheels on our 7th generation civic body style and slap a "SOHC V TEC" sticker on both sides(like the si's) all for about $2,500 more than the price of an ex... no engine modifications or anything.. I mean come on, give me a break..I just stared at the dealer when he told me and cracked up laughing, then I asked him what kind of a moron would buy a car for that much more when you can buy $400 wheels and $5 stickers elsewhere... he responded by saying "you'd be surprised the people who buy these, you'd be surprised how many get screwed over"[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

as long as the sticker says EX the dealer can add a an SI or OPP or GSXR package aftermarket, and call those options what they want. i feel bad for the tool that buys that car[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]
