The problem is if manufacturers sold directly, it would wipe out an entire auto industry. Not necessarily a problem for me or many of us on this forum, but a problem nonetheless. I assume manufacturers would have to restructure their business to incorporate this idea, and I'm sure it would come with its own issues (probably still better than dealership though lol). |

Shopping for a new vehicle sucks. Some dealers are adding what they call "market adjustments". Ford dealers are great at this. Tacking as much as $15,000 onto the price of new Bronco's. Seen as much as $30,000 on a Mustang FT500.

Don't get me started on Ford and GM. They were "threatening" their dealers to get rid off the markups by cutting off their ordering power. Why? Because apparently it was hurting their stock prices and bottom line. Otherwise they wouldn't give a crap. As far as I know, Ford and GM hasn't done a thing and their dealers are still charging markup. Here's another thing I realized. All these dealerships are blaming the chip shortage and supply chain issues, but they are strategically placing their markups on the cars that have a high sale volume. Hypocrisy. |
