I can see how an uneducated buyer would believe that and pay full price for one. I bought a new 2000 Vert and got it for around $28K I think...sticker was $34K the best I can remember. The 00 cars were not hard to find or limited...you could have walked in and ordered what you wanted at sticker price at worse...and should have been able to get one under that. I think they were blowing smoke. As far as the salesman not caring if he sold it to you...he wanted to sell it to you because if not another salesman might have sold it and he wouldn't have made a dime on it. The Firehawks were not limited either...they made as many as they could sell. The only reason any of the cars besides the LEs (CETA & 30ths) are low production is because they didn't sell many of them.
I bought two new Firehawks in 02 (actually ordered them) and they wanted to charge a limited availability fee on them...I did end up paying sticker for both and got 0% financing on them and some other stuff...and that was late in 02 when the cars were actually pretty hot.
