1. These dealers are ripping their customers off!! Remember these dealers doing this and never do business with them again!!

2. Toyota dealership wanted 8k more for a new rav 4 prime that's a 20% mark up. I bought a tesla instead. The price you see is the price you get with tesla.

3. dealers are worthless

4. The funny part about this is that nobody can afford a new car. America is broke. Just because your neighbor is getting one doesn’t mean you need one.

5. that one jeremy clarkson meme where he says "oh no, anyways" would be perfect for this. This is like senators telling big corporations to stop being bad lmfao. Nothing will change

6. I sell cars at a Chrysler dodge jeep ram store and we do mark our high performance items up but other then that everything for the most part is sticker so when they said 82% of sales last month were over sticker I was shocked

7. Only here in America $8k will get you a used vehicle older than 2014 with over 180k miles, parts needing replacement, and 50 service records

8. Can someone look into ford's casper wyoming I feel they do that here prices this way are ridiculous 🙄 even for used such a scam

9. 5,000 over msrp. Be ashamed ford

10. Right before the pandemic hit in 2019, I bought a brand new Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium and paid under $39k before fees and tax. Now, that same vehicle on the lot is $55k-60k+. Not even a PRO, just an Off Road trim.

11. These people are screwing everyone over because they can, it’s ignorant, they should all be identified publicly. The dealers are also the ones inflating used car prices. Greed will come back at you, I can’t wait for the aftermath. I hope many lose their licenses. The consumer overpaying now will lose so much in a couple years when prices stabilize, it’s disgusting.

12. don't buy new.. well unless u are rich

13. Here's an idea; unless you HAVE to buy a car right now, just DON'T. And if you do, stop paying over sticker or over book on used. It's validating the price gouging. And way more than 10% of Ford dealers are charging mark ups on their vehicles. Even worse, go to a Toyota dealer. STOP getting bedazzled by the sales tactic "But we will give you top dollar for your trade right now!" Maybe so but then you're resetting the clock and they make up for it selling the new car thousands too high.

14. It’s called price gouging masked in fancy terms like market adjustment and dealer’s markup… no thanks, I’d rather drive my old beat up than paying 10k – 60k over msrp…crazy!

15. I mean they're already marked up. Some CEO's alone make 16-20 million A YEAR! But yet they get all this government help all the time.

16. Stealerships don't care😆 they are greedy and we are the dumb ones willing to buy at any cost.

17. Wonder if Homedepot will issue a warning. $13 piece of OSB for $74 but is now $48 this week. That's like a half ton pick up being sold at $450,000. Where are the whiners on that topic?

18. Just getting ready for the CRASH ! Take good care of them ?

19. You would have to be nuts to buy a Garbage Manufacturing or Fix Or Repair Delay product!

20. Ford ranger base model is marked up 17k 🤣🤣🤣

21. Greed in America… pay attention everyone.. we are going down.

22. Consumers are also to blame here! People are paying these markups! Because people are buying over msrp the dealerships are reaping the rewards. Why would they sell for sticker price when consumers are being dumb and buying??!! STOP BUYING!!!

23. So lucky to be a german city boy where I still don't need a car in my 30's

24. F*ck Ford. Too late as I'm done with them for good.

25. Supply and demand. If they want to sell a 14k car for 90k that ok.

26. I don't feel sorry for the people who buy new

27. Tried to but a new Harley yesterday, figuring what I thought would be an out-the-door price based on a similar purchase of another new Harley last summer. I was shocked to see that destination and assembly fees doubled from about $1K to 2K. On top of that, last September Harley issued a dealer bulletin requiring another $1K from the customer as a "supply chain fee". As well, there is NO MSRP discount. Enough is enough. Other motorcycle brand (Indian, BMW) dealers aren't trying to stick it to me like this. I'm a loyal H.D. guy, up to a point.

28. Good, I’m tired of seeing these ridiculous prices

29. Uh, supply and demand. Take an econ class and don’t buy into the lip service from manufacturers. They cannot dictate what the car sells for over sticker.

30. Greedy people taking advantage

31. They should increase the price over sticker. There just isn’t enough supply. My dealers are empty.

32. Dealers are fuhhhhhhhhcccddd.

33. Buying a used car is harder

34. Vintage truck owners are now laughing bc we can enjoy our 'investments' even more these days. I don't have 10k in my fully restored '64 Dodge D100 Sweptline pick-up truck that runs like a top. I can tune it up or repair it with parts readily available online from vintage suppliers who are overflowing with parts & no computer chips required. Local stores like NAPA, O'Reilly, AutoZone, RockAuto & Summit also have plenty of parts for older vehicles sitting on their shelves gathering dust. I have many of the common items I'd preordered & stockpiled just in case of an event like this! 100k for a new truck? Ya right, I could restore 5 old kool trucks for that kind of money!

35. Supply and demand. I got more for my Jeep on trade in than I paid for it new in 2018. They are selling it now for 8000$ more than I paid for it new. It is a crazy market.

36. All to the credit of Democrats

37. I see where some Honda and Toyota dealers are padding sticker price by as much as $1500 for fabric protection…on vehicles with leather upholstery! Just turn around and shop elsewhere.
