[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1810892, member: 39584"] At a substantial cost to the end user. When pay is set at an artificially low level, it keeps cost down in several ways. There's the obvious. Then there's the time factor, where unprofitable repairs are put off as long as possible by the dealer. That delays the booking of the expense by FMC. Win/win. The cost of downtime is imposed on the consumer. When a repair takes weeks or months, the cost of not having a working vehicle is borne by the consumer. The bean counters at FMC [B][I]like[/I][/B] having the dealers dragging their feet on warranty repair. It saves them money on paper and hitting the quarterly numbers is more important than loyal customers. If you pointed a gun at me and made me invest $100k in an automaker, I'd buy Tesla at it's insane multiple before I'd touch FMC. Sorry if that offends you, but at least Musk looks more than three months out. [/QUOTE]
