First let me just say, what a great site! I was able to learn quite a bit while lurking. Finally decided to pull the trigger.
Anyway, I'm hoping to get some specific advise on dealing with the stealership. So I know exactly what I'm looking for as far factory/port installed options (with the exception of the Pano. Roof), but I also definitely want to add the full body kit, and probably 18" wheels. I know these two would be added at the dealer. So my question is, in terms of entering the negotiations, should I be up front about wanting to add these additional accessories? If they know they will be making more on accessories, do you think they'd be more inclined to knock off some from MSRP? Or do you think if they know I'm already willing to spend top of the line money they will be more inclined to stand firm at or over MSRP? I already kind of feel that I'm at a disadvantage because I have such specific criteria for the wagen I want. I mean how likely is it that I can just tell them I'll just get one from another dealer, you know? They'll know they have "the" one I want. That's kind of why I'm also staying open on the Pano Roof, at least that's one option I could take or leave.
Thanks in advance! Can't wait to get into my JSW.
