Default Is This Dealer Markup, or Raping Someone ?

Look at the markup on this new EVO. Look at the dealer markeup sticker to the right. It says $20,000 on a $31,000 car.



Yikes, I guess there is a sucker born every minute. The Z06 seems more appealing at this price

There is a markup on S2000's as well, but anyone who shopped didn't pay it. Mitsubishi dealerships wont get away with the markup for long...

When the most recent batch of ITRs came back to the states (the yellow and blacks ones) a dealership in the Bay Area had a sucker pay 15K over sticker, just so he could be the first. Then a few months later, they had one sitting on the lot for a while that I'm sure they cut a deal on.

The MB dealer also had an SL55 in their showroom with a wheel package because MB doesn't allow mark-ups. The 4 Renntech wheels were $99,995.

Also CLK55 and some other AMGs were being sold with $25,000 body kits.

Oh well, if somebody is willing to pay.

2 Examples of Irony:

1) A firehouse burning down.

2) Mitsubishi charging 50% over MSRP in '03 for a car that they they refused to bring to the states in '02 (because their executives perceived a lack of demand).

Why are car company executives so god damned stupid?
