Default ‘26 Order, well maybe!

Gave my SoCal dealer two preferred specs on an ordered ‘26 convertible. Told him, “no ADM, no add-on’s, no BS”, just a straight Bespoke order of a ‘vert to join my ‘24 coupe. He said they don’t know if they can grab an allocation and I’m not holding out much hope. Plus, they seem to want ADM’s, even from good, past customers. ADM’s are against my religion! Especially after they gave a discount on my ordered ‘24. Besides, there seem to be plenty of low mileage pre-owned cars available if a new order is a non-starter. Or, there’s always BMW, AMG or Porsche, all of which I’ve owned before. Time will tell.

Good lord man, where have you been?! ADM = Added Dealer Markup! (ie. asking price over the stated MSRP) Seenmany times within most online car sites, including here. 🙄

You have owned a multitude of automobiles my friend. Where does your 2024 LC 500 coupe rank in the hierarchy of all these vehicles?

I'm just curious why you want a '26 if you already have a '24?

OP has a coupe and wanted a convertible.
If I have the disposable fund, I would do the same.

A simple answer would suffice and educate. I fess up to not being a "real car" guy. Always thought it was Administrative Documents Management (fee).
