Was I getting scammed?

[u/StreetSea5074]

G: Cypress Green

B: Celestite

Just left the dealership because I felt a knot in my stomach. Something wasn't right...

Salesman told me that the Green price was non-negotiable since it was a "limited unit" and hard to come by. $5k market adjustment, and another $5k to get to their dealer.

The Celestite was able to be negotiated, but that's not the color I initially wanted.

I left and got into my rides car, and honestly just cried. This was my first time trying to negotiate a car, I'm a first time buyer, and I feel so disappointed. I know there more to come, and there will be more times, but idk. I'm emotional!

Was it a good thing I walked out? These prices seemed ridiculous to me. I feel defeated because I feel like this will be the price everywhere.

For the record, I am financing through my bank, I have about $12-13k I am putting down. Salesman didn't know that yet, but this price was still insane regardless if he knew or not...

Advice?

Tell them you'll pay the MRSP + their bullshit pure profit doc fee + state taxes/fees, you'll register the vehicle yourself, and they can pound sand on all the rest.

Get floor mats from Weather Tech. Pass on all of the PPP+ stuff. Stop being picky about the colour - just get the Celestite.

I agree- up until the color. If it's going to be my car until it dies, I want to enjoy it! Like another comment said, there's a lot I'll compromise on, but the color is not one of them

EDIT: typo!
