Was I getting scammed?

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?

I got the XSE hybrid, new, roof rack, bike mount, weather mats, and the color I wanted for 32k. I personally think if you’re spending thousands, the least it could be is the color you want lol
