Beware of idiots
My bit about entitlement is that commonly some people feel entitled to these new (in high demand) cars at MSRP. You get the "it's not fair" argument, and "I'll never get one if people keep paying a ADM", and "I refuse to pay a ADM because it's wrong".I think you're misunderstanding me. I don't care what you or anybody does with their own money. I simply noted that the ADMs exists because the market is validated by those who will pay 35 cents for a quarter. Pehaps I should have worded it better in my post. I don't want anybody catching heat because they can pay an ADM. Lots of people in here can pay a modest ADM. Some choose to and some choose not to. In my opinion the "entitlement" argument doesn't apply here. In my opinion the increasing "entitlement" culture want something for nothing at the expense of others. That's not the same as willing to fork over MSRP and not MSRP + $20k ADM.
It is a free market. It is a manufacturers SUGGESTED retail price. Ford set up the business model to have dealerships operate as independent businesses. They own the cars. They can ask what they want for them. People don't have do pay.
I don't like paying market adjustments. It's the way the economy works. It's foolish to think that we (as consumers) are all going to join in protest so that nobody pays a markup and everyone can have an equal chance at the latest and the greatest.
Like I said before. Wait it out. They will make a lot of these 500s and maybe MSRP will not be too far off.
