It’s quite the norm for 5k+ markup. I’m from socal put 4 different deposits that were at msrp but ended up just purchasing out of state for msrp since it was the exact spec I wanted and no wait. Kind of a hassle to purchase out of state dealing with dmv paperwork. Took me more than a year of looking since I was also in the market for the new gr corolla. Worth it in my opinion. Do some research and call all the dealers and every state you can if you’re willing to make the drive or get it shipped.
I was wondering same thing. I felt like throwing this dealer under the bus and shame them publicly but decided to let it go. This socal dealer told me $20k. I laughed. I mean really? I can understand a few thousand maybe but 10-20k? Are people really paying that?! Encouraging bad dealer behavior.
People are definitely paying those markups since I have a few cars that I’ve been following and those ended up being sold. Many dealers are also using the approach of saying they are selling at msrp to lure you in then have all the dealer add ons telling you it’s technically not marked up with all the accessories you get compared to nothing at all with the markup.

My delivery was just under 3k in an enclosed trailer shipped from MI to CA. You could opt for a non enclosed trailer for cheaper as well.

Roughly about a buck per mile. I did one enclosed and one on a standard carrier. Either way, it’s way better than rewarding this upside down market right now. I’d much rather reward any dealer selling at MSRP, imo. It’s a very personal thing but I enjoy my car much more having paid MSRP. But that’s me…
Road Atlanta ? Dang dude!!!! That track is so much fun ? If new at this, please listen to your instructor. You’ll be fine but RA can be intimidating. Especially the “bridge”.
Did they help you find transport or did you set that up yourself?
Do you mind sharing which dealer? Would like to know which one to avoid and not bother withI was wondering same thing.

3 dealers in MD offered me the Stratospheric Blue M/T at MSRP in the last 90 days. Please don't pay those markup numbers!I was wondering same thing.
