[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1629668, member: 39584"] Ford sells vehicles to dealers. Those dealers borrow money to finance their inventory. They give the money to Ford. Ford likes that. If the dealer misjudges the market, they can lose money, but Ford keeps what they got. If the dealer guesses right, they make extra money. No skin off the corporate butt either way. Putting in place a bunch of complicated rules that don't benefit the end user(because any rules you come up with can be gamed) and give your customer an incentive to buy less product from you is a lose/lose strategy. Ford is doing right by their shareholders and customers, and isn't harming their end user. Expecting them to do differently is ignoring the incentives of the interested parties. Just because a car buyer wants to wander onto a car lot, find the perfect car sitting in inventory, and buy it at a good price doesn't mean that it's possible. Resources are limited at every level. How resources get allocated efficiently is what capitalism does best. I agree if you're a customer with big wants and little cash, it sucks. But that's not a problem that Ford can solve unless they can give you a good job. :) [/QUOTE]
