40% Markup?

[Thrillhouse]

You have a product that has more demand then supply and people are upset that it's being marked up. No one complains when dealers discount vehicles when there is more supply than demand.

It COULD be they need to keep the price so ridiculous so they can actually keep their "demo" longer than 5 days lol

UPDATE: The dealer left me a VM and said that they bought it from a dealer in Georgia for 8k more than MSRP.

If you're idea of joy at a party is whining about the price of a Maverick, than no I wouldn't be a joy.

Why does this upset anyone? You don't have to buy it. The dealerships are dying on the vine. Laying off people left and right because they don't have enough cars to sell. They are simply trying to stay in business.

Times are tough. Tough things happen. Sheesh.....

Many of the same people complaining about dealers marking up their cars have no problem selling their used vehicle to Carvana for a huge markup.

+1. Supply and demand is a pretty simple concept. Dealerships raising the price on those who pre-ordered under the assumption of a specific price is one thing (and we'll all be up in arms if this happens, like it might have with certain dealerships with the Bronco), but I am similarly confused as to why this upsets anybody. Don't buy it, some other idiot will.

None of us like dealerships, but I bet you aren't turning down the inflated prices when they offer to buy your current vehicle either. It works both ways.

What a disgrace. I purchased a Maverick XLT Lux AWD FX4 for MSRP at $32,735.00 plus tax at John Kennedy Ford Pottstown PA over the phone and picked it up next day with no issues If someone buys this truck for that price you are a FOOL...

Gatekeeping what people can and can't be upset about is quite an interesting take.
