Kevin;
 With the wholesale cost of C3s, plus shipping, being what it is any dealer 
selling a C3 for that amount today would either be a non-stocking, sell it 
drop shipped with no service even to include no set-up type, or likely be out 
of business should the customer ever need service. The latest price list that 
I have says the MSRP is 34,769...while I am sure that 'most' dealers would 
work with a customer on that price............... it 'is clearly' not the 
38,000 as advertised.
 The customer paid what was agreed to even though spurious information was 
given her and that is a shame................. this goes on at all too many 
of these Armory/University type sales and is not a unique event.....would 
that we could do something to keep this from happening but.................
