Highway Robbery on Cars.com

[Amakrida]

First picture is a first edition Maverick, marked as used with 1 previous owner even though it's for 349 miles on it.

Second picture is me optioning a first edition with every conceivable option.

$10,000 upcharge?

Unreal.

Asking for a friend.

I get supply and demand. I get that things are worth what people are willing to pay. But this type of shit is disgusting.

Looking at the window sticker, it is a retail order, not dealer stock order. So someone ordered that Bronco and walked away. Makes you wonder if the reason they walked is because of tacking on a ridiculous $30K markup!

WTF

Right?

Local dealer has an Orange Raptor with MSRP at 77k$ but after dealer mark up it is now $99k plus taxes 8.25% and license fees (Calif is high).

I wonder what they would charge for my FX4 XLT... It still only has 16 miles on it, but probably not for too much longer...

If you are that stupid to pay such a high markup, well then you deserve to get taken to the cleaners IMO.

Nothing on the order I see says you can't assign your right to the truck. Tell your dealer you are assigning your rights and to put it in your friends name. (Otherwise if you resell to your friend you pay double tax.)

No da, so the next one they order will have a $30000 discount for a brand new Bronco

WOW!! speechless.

Its funny how car dealerships get away with this sort of price gouging. In my business if someone goes above a certain amount they get cussed, fussed, threatened and on top of it all local government slaps a huge fine (usually in '000's) as well.

I dont price gouge personally as i believe in a moto "any business that just makes money is a poor business". I take care of my employees, community and customers that essentially run my business by being fair and honest.

Makes my blood boil when i see car dealerships marking up to this extent with no one to tell them to get in line.
