Just mark the price up $2,000 and offer them their $1,200 discount.
If they b*tch again, mark the price up another $1,000 and increase the discount to $1,500.
I've done this several times with government idiots ... which GM is ... and it works almost every time.
Around our place, they're called Generous Motors.
Hospitals have been doing this with Medicare and Medicaid for decades.

Good luck if you have to deal with GM. I’ve been selling to them for years and this is brand new. Devious little pricks, thinking they could go behind our backs. This is the first time this has happened in 12 years of doing business with them. They’ve probably already spent more than they were trying to screw us for, plus the end user on the project still doesn’t have what he wants.
I wouldn’t hold any GM stock, if this is the way they are gonna roll for ten grand.
