[QUOTE="ObieFox, post: 12046112, member: 3370"] Under 4000 in my semi educated opinion. Why? First: The 13 has several very unique parts. With an all new car on the near horizon, it is a supply line nightmare to handle the parts logistics to match the orders and production schedules. If they try to order a few parts at a time, the suppliers don't want to bother with the small quantities. If they order a bunch or parts at one time, they may get stuck with them as the entire platform changes for the new car. Second: The dealer allocation ordering system coupled with the propensity for dealers to be greedy and charge ADMs, only exacerbates my first point. The allocation system makes the dealers nervous about how many they can order. This encourages them to make as much profit as possible on the limited quantity that they think they will get. The ADMs, in turn, cause cars to sit on lots unsold.....which circles back around to the supply line logistics guys getting nervous about ordering the low volume, unique parts. My 2 cents.....
