<prompt> Human: I understand why the dealership would take the stance they have, but Im still somewhat skeptical. If she were to just walk away in response to their no negotiating claim, theyd just be pissing away money if they let her go and its not like theyd actually tell her they ARE willing to negotiate if they were.It seems like shell be able to save some money by browsing dealerships and finding one with the lowest fee which they told her they cant discount or theyd get sued; skeptical of that too, but not being able to haggle at all is rough. Shes dead set on getting this car, though, so any advice would be much appreciated! Edit: Apparently they can be sued if they dont charge all customers the dealership fee fairly, so Ill concede that one at least.Assistant: If a car is in high demand, the dealership will be able to sell it at sticker price or even higher. If its in low demand, theyll have to go below sticker price, possibly much lower.I have no idea whether the Prius Prime is in high demand or not, but most likely the dealership is not going to lose money by letting her go; they probably have a good idea of how hot the car is. The dealership knows how long this car has been on the lot and how long the last one sat before selling. When the earlier Priuses came out, they were never discounted for several years at least. You paid full sticker price or you didnt get one.Overall its a good time to buy a car theyre selling poorly, so dealers are offering incentives, but maybe not for this particular model.Human: But if the cars are made to order, theyre literally just flat out losing money if she walks away. It makes no sense to me. Her negotiating adjusts their profit margin, but it doesnt decimate it. Sure, they could sell it full price to someone else, but thats completely independent of whether or not my girlfriend buys the car because theyre made to order; it would be a different story if they already had them on the lot.The only argument I could see for that sort of approach is that the car is too new to really buy used just yet, so if no dealership marks down the price, theres no alternative.  <response>: The dealership is allocated a certain number per month. They cant sell more than that. Having excess buyers does them no good. If they get allocated five of these cars per month and have 20 people wanting to pay full sticker price, they lose absolutely nothing by letting your girlfriend walk away - the car will be sold tomorrow to someone else for full price. Shes dead set on getting this carAnd if the total number of such dead set people exceeds the number of cars being produced... no discounts.
