The Champion dealer is just south of Boca Raton. No place I have ever been to has oozed more "look at me, fast money sleeze" than Boca. I worked in Boca for a while. First thing, first day my colleague in Boca said is "Don't trust anybody in this town. Don't take your hand off your wallet" The whole time I was in the area the place just felt wrong. Seemed like con man central. Hardly surprising **** like this happened there, IMO.

A couple of observations re this sad mess:
In the words of my late, much admired and beloved Dad, "Rich or poor it's nice to have money."
One of the perks of being rich is the ability to justify spending money on bright shiny toys, merely for ego gratification. Because, hey, Life is Short
A Fool and his money are soon parted.
Ergo: ADM
This Fool is heading to Mid Ohio for a weekend of accelerated depreciation on his bright shiny toy. Have a great weekend everyone. Go Bucks!

This will have to be verified by someone or a police report. Take it for what it is. Comes from a credible source.
Shiraaz was the only person with Dave Maraj (owner of Champion) when he hit his head on his boat and drowned. The police have supposedly opened up the investigation again after this embezzlement news.
Don't flame me here ... just passing a lead on. Not a verified fact. Not meant to detract here, but could be a big piece of the story here.

Time to quit the day job!! 
My dealer put me on the GT3 waiting list without a charge, provided a speccable allocation at MSRP, offered retail discount to cover airfare to either ED factory delivery or Atlanta PEC delivery (including 90 minutes track time) and of course a full tank of gas. Picked my car up in Atlanta a week ago. Never bought a car there before.
Needless to say, they have my loyalty.
This is what we should expect in a PCNA franchises dealership.
*sniff* that's beautiful
edit - that dealer must actually be an idiot because why on Earth would he or she do that! Why would they treat their clients with respect and actually deliver on customer service?? They got a client with no purchase history a GT3 allocation? Wtf! I don't get it. The client is happy? Why???? All the other dealers are raking clients over coals to get them into the car they truly want, that makes more sense to me. SMH
x3, looking into a Macan or Cayenne and I'll only hand that cash/business to a dealer that operates that way. If none exist any more so be it. PM me if you can

Well, 80% of Rennlisters polled did pay MSRP...

I bet the true MSRP deals are WAY less than 50% much less 80%.

Exactly and the ones who paid over usually don't post. Oh and don't forget those that paid MSRP "technically" but forget to include the other side of the deal which is the trade in. You can have an example like my friend who "technically" got his GT2RS for MSRP but is what he forgets to tell you is he also paid MSRP for a Cheyenne and another car that normally would be significantly discounted to get that deal.
