This is golden advice. I wish I could sticky this. I will be running through this playbook soon.

I am AD and a pretty senior officer. I can guarantee you that my unit's local PA would not give two craps about this.

They told me the same thing. They are arguing that the Texas Protection Package is not a markup but protective measures they put all on all new vehicles. There for it does not violate their initial hand shake agreement of no dealership markup. They are extra sketchy.
