[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1166151, member: 21926"] Dodge has direct input into the “market” based on their proposed new vehicle features which are in high demand and the availability of that model. I believe that’s what you’re speaking of in re: demand - if not, I’m not trying to misquote you here. That said, Dodge’s directive has zero to do with market availability, but it should have a positive effect on the insane ADM values being charged by batshit crazy dealers. If I read the policy correctly, there has to be a deal on the table, agreed to in writing. The subsequent availability of models would be curtailed for high “adjustments” to price. Priority of order is directly proportional to the negotiated price ... A few people here had trouble free ordering of their Rap, fewer still had trouble free purchasing. We heard of deals backed out of, bait and switch type “surprise” ADM additions, and generally bad times trying to buy a Rap. A policy like the one Dodge is implementing won’t do everything to curb bad actors, or outrageous price additions, and it’s not perfect. But, it would potentially reduce the number of dealers going full batshit crazy on their pricing, and potentially reduce the amount of extra cost for the vehicle. The policy isn’t without consequences, certainly dealer sales managers and sales people will only be taking a month off to cruise the Caribbean instead of 3 months off for the sale of a Raptor. But, nobody is putting a gun to the head of the dealers to seek out allocations. If Raptor consumers put pressure on Ford to adopt similar policies, the Raptor buying process would be significantly improved. [/QUOTE]
