    So I get the following in an email earlier in the week:


    Hello,

    I know you were interested in a New Honda Clairty at one time. Current incentives, combined with Darrell Waltrip Discounts, make this the best time to purchase your New Honda Clarity. We have four to choose from and these incentives won't last long. Please let me know when you want to schedule an appointment to test drive your New Honda Clairty.

    Respectfully,
    Robb Krug
    Sales Manager
    Darrell Waltrip Honda
    1430 Murfreesboro Rd.
    Nashville, TN 37067
    615-791-1101



    So, I responded with:

    Robb,


    Thank you for responding. I purchased a base Clarity in December. I currently have about 5,500 miles on it. It is white, no issues with it. Garage kept. No dings anywhere. Just as I purchased it.


    I have been pondering a Touring Clarity. The best deal that I have seen on AutoTrader is here:



    (See attachment)



    I see on your sight that you have two white Touring models currently in stock.


    What kind of a deal can you make for me trading in my base Clarity for a Touring?


    Thanks,

    David

    Wow, that is a great price! I never got any dealer below $35K on a Touring in the OKC area.

    The price is nice, but I'm pretty sure that's not white :p

    Naw, it's just a figment of your computer screen.

    I don't know how much color means to David. Assuming that the dealer has no white cars, it's a good shot on his part.

    Reminds me of a trip years ago to a dealer to buy a pickup truck. I told him that I wasn't picky but I had only one absolute requirement - it had to be 4-wheel-drive. The first truck he showed me was 2-wheel drive. I left.

    I just can't believe that I have not gotten a response back...of any kind!!

    They solicited me. You'd think they'd want to sell one of the same 4 Clarity cars that they had in stock when I got mine in December.

    White is my first choice. Red would be second. I'm not much of a fan of the "dark-side" colors.

    I have vowed not to be surprised at anything a car dealer does. Someday I may get a pleasant surprise. Not holding my breath.
