I've never shopped for a "luxury" car before, and this is my first one

A lot of "ordinary" cars actually have these AMV [Adjusted Market Value] mark-ups as well; sometimes it is market/region-dependant.

I can remember at least three "new" Honda Accord models and two "new" Civic models as well as one "new" Toyota Camry model that had significant AMV's for the first few months after their introduction [I believe that the latest "new" Honda Civic model has an AVM in most markets as well].

IIRC the AVM on the ’90-’91-’92 Accord [whichever was the new model introduction year, I forget] was something like $2K.

Not a lot of “dollars” perhaps but considering that $2K was about 10-12% of the total sticker price it was significant.
