Anyway... they finally added the alarm, at the full $400 MSRP despite the agreement that the purchase would be for $750 over invoice. The extra $40 obviously isn't a big deal, it's just the principle of the matter... almost like they're going out of their way to stick it to me, even for petty cash. The car flipped over to 150 status the next day, so I'm glad I insisted.

Good job! I wish I knew about the alarm option earlier.
