Maybe they were happy not to do the deal because they were comfortable selling their allocation of CLK's at a specific price.

maybe, but when a buyer of a new car has decided on the specific make/model she wants, she owes it to herself to get it at the lowest total cost from whichever franchised dealer will do the deal

if that means searching for a dealer that hasn't sold his allocation, or is keen for another unit to hit a target, or wants to sell the car cheaper than another dealer for any reason (or no reason at all)

or not, she could choose to pay list price from the nearest dealer to her house

Oh absolutely true. My point is, the dealer wasnt necessarily 'wrong' to turn away the deal. Any 'deal' is about terms that suit both the customer and the dealership.
