Because no one should ever have to pay over MSRP for a car no matter how collectible it is.

And by your logic: no dealer should have to take less than MSRP for any new car, no matter how many are built.Because no one should ever have to pay over MSRP for a car no matter how collectible it is.
Leif Johnson Ford.... I will mark that down on my never buy from ever list.It's really not out of line with the market. My dealership had 3 allocated to us and we have sold 2 at 10K over MSRP.
They absolutely have the right to charge over MSRP, and as buyers we have the right to tell them to pound sand. And to suggest to all our friends, family and people on car forums to never buy anything from them, nor to ever have your cars serviced by them.And by your logic: no dealer should have to take less than MSRP for any new car, no matter how many are built.
Supply and demand is a two way street; it can't always benefit just the consumer.

I onced asked a salesman at a Dodge dealership if he could justify to me tacking on a 4k markup on a 27k Dodge Charger SXT. He couldnt give me a straight answer.No way would I pay $10,000 over sticker for that car no matter how rare it may be. I don't even like white. I remember back in 2008 when our local Dodge dealership got one of the first Challenger SRT-8's in. Sticker price was $39,900 and they had it marked up to $59.900. I'm not sure how much they ended up selling it for but it didn't stay on their lot very long.
More power to them if they can get someone to pay more than sticker. It just will never be me.

GTFO.How does $57,666 sound?
You're making that comment based on a limited production highly sought out car? I say :thumb down: to $10k over on this LE but if they had fantastic prices on all the other product they sold I would not walk away from their dealership and blast them on the internet and put them on a do not buy list.Leif Johnson Ford....

If theg were only selling to the type of people who spend countless hours on websites like this then they would not be able to (hey, pointing at myself too). But they do not, and I have no problem with them trying it. Most of the dealers are not making gobs of money anymore, the Internet has greatly increased the supply side of the supply and demand curve, so when they get something exclusive they will try to cash in. The buying market has many desperate people and I should not expect that they would cater to only me.Because no one should ever have to pay over MSRP for a car no matter how collectible it is.
True, when your market consists of clueless douche bags willing to over pay. This is why car salesman and dealerships have the reputation that they do. :tsk:It's really not out of line with the market. My dealership had 3 allocated to us and we have sold 2 at 10K over MSRP.
Completely agreed. When I sell something and people try to tell me what I should sell it for they can go piss in the wind for all I care.Yall are forgetting that this is a capitalist economy and that is absolutely their right to sell it for 2x msrp if they want to try. Big deal. You don't want it, don't buy it. Would I? Absolutely not (msrp on mine) but I respect their right to try.
Silence speaks volumes. If only the people willing to pay responded I think they would realize this is not the venue to offer such "deals".They can try all they like, they're just trying in the wrong part of the internet. The likelihood of anyone here paying 10k over msrp is pretty damn slim.
If they were trying to sell at msrp here then that would be a different story.
More power too them if they get some other poor sap to pay that.
