Since I was a Honda dealer in that era, I'll relate one more story... Hondas were in high demand back then, there were typically only a few colors available for each model in any given year and when Honda began offering the 3rd gen Prelude in black, they became very desirable. Unscrupulous dealers were able to sell them in my area for $3000 over sticker. They even paid off the Honda sales reps with cash under the table, to influence the number and types of cars that dealers were allocated. Some people ended up going to jail over that, but sadly, not all of them. The oldest Honda dealer in my area was the worst offender and he skated completely.
