[QUOTE="mwm5094, post: 1128237, member: 21920"] Man, lots of energy wasted in here. A dealership can do what it wants, as they should, as should every business owner. If they want to price themselves out of the market, let them do so. You don't want to pay their price..... find the price you are willing to pay elsewhere. Finding a price that you, the buyer, is comfortable with is your job, not the dealers. When I bought mine there were 3 dealers within 2 hours of me that had what I wanted. Two wouldn't deal, one would. So I went to the dealer, told them what I was willing to pay and to either accept or decline my offer. They declined so I walked out to my truck and as I was pulling away the salesman stopped me in the lot and told me they would do my deal. Car buying is very easy if you want it to be. Now, yes, stealerships do try and **** you on the little shit..... Extended warranty, paint protection plans, resist all, finance, blah blah blah. You can say no to every one of those minus finance if you don't have the cash. The dealers can waive all the other processing and DMV fees if they want to..... most aren't going to let a sale walk over it. You can also negotiate the loan % but say you leave there and you don't like the loan they provided, refinance with another lender, they all want your business. Especially Wells Fargo after their little hiccup. When the GT350 came out, my local dealer had 2.... White with blue stripes aka Ford Racing colors. Sold one for double sticker, listed the other one for double sticker. If they can get it, why not? I wouldn't pay it but someone that has to have it will and if it sits for 3 months, they don't care. The profit they stand to make on it would make up for tons of other car sales. Last little note. Mostly all of us modify our trucks. Why doesn't everyone with this "price to high" mindset bitch at Fox, Rigid, Method, Toyo, Nitto, etc. for what their MAP is vs. their cost to produce or their profit per unit? You pay it or you don't. Plain and simple. Before someone comments about the cost difference, yes I know we are talking about thousands vs tens of thousands but the business model is still the same.
