Everybody likes to say they have a "great relationship" with their dealer. Relationships have to work both ways, however.

And if some guy online is selling it at or close to dealer cost, and the dealer you have a "great relationship" with is selling it at MSRP then it becomes a "ripoff" for trying to make $2.
