	The clarification is simple, your dealer is lying or
totally brain dead, but I'd personally guess both. It sounds too
well planned to just be a mistake. The price is still $2,547 and
I'd recommend going to the dealer who told you that as he seems
to know what he is doing.
	And please give me the name of the two dealers who are
"confused" and I'll see if they can be straightened out.
