Sure, a $3995 import car.  Yeah just like those base sticker
prices on a $6400 4x4 Subaru and a $6100 Honda Civic.
No one in this hemisphere ever paid base sticker price for
an import in the last 3 years unless he was the editor of
Road&Track magazine.  Otherwise they unload them at the dock,
slap on $1000-$4000 worth of pinstriping and Deluxe sport mirrors,
then ship them to the dealers.
Yeah, yeah, you scream, I bought my Audi at base sticker price
and my Volvo too.  You forget, though, that these cars are
already marked up 100% and so overpriced, that the dealers
make a profit anyway.
When someone shells out $4000 and gets a new car and change then
I'll eat my Ford.
