However I present for your puzzlement the following:

1. Brecht MINI has historically charged 20% over MSRP (only dealer in San Diego County)
2. Brecht is currently selling MINIs for 10% over MSRP
3. As a "valuable customer" of Brecht, and for the priveledge of buying a car off their lot, they added Lojack and Permaplate to my car and socked me with the $1600 bill for those "options". Seems to be their poilcy for cars on the lot.

Mind you, I love, love, love my car, and consciously knew I had choices other that buying off the lot or from Brecht at all, but I went ahead and bought from them. However, with the mark-ups and the non-optional options, seem like Brecht should be able to have a fleet of - I don't care what cars - for their customers. At the very least, they should just cut the bull---- and be honest about their willingness to gouge their customers.

For my first service visit, I plan on calling ahead, turning on the sweetness and seeing if I can get me a loaner. Until then, I will enjoy my car and not focus on the dealer's moral shortcomings.
