Car Dealerships are Still Out of Control

[@spicydragon3881]

I just went to Hyundai to look at the Ionic 5, the salesman never mentioned anything, all seemed good until we sat down to go over numbers. They tacked on $15,000 OVER the sticker and he seemed legitimately shocked and insulted when I told him I'm not paying $15,000 OVER sticker price, ESPECIALLY for a Hyundai ! ! ! He told me I won't be able to buy anything then, because everyone is doing it. Well, guess I won't be buying a Hyundai then. They are truly insane.

Actually had to get my wife a new car and ended up getting her a Subaru. They were the best dealer to work with. Went to 3 different locations to find a model she liked and all of them were super upfront about pricing. The only markups any of them had was like $400 to pay the porters and non commission people due to inflation costs. And they had that price on the sticker.

Two years ago I went to trade in my 17 year old Ford Ranger. It's replacement was a 2016 F150 Sports edition but without the 4X4 package. I ended up paying right at $20k for it. Low mileage to boot. Six months later the dealership called me asking if I was willing to sale the truck back to them. I began to look online and see what the market was and you couldn't even hope to touch that same truck for less than $26k. But going back to my original day of purchase, as we were finalizing the paperwork on the sale, I did walk the lot. They had lots of brand new Ford Rangers and some brand new F150s. The dead cheapest you could get a Ford Ranger was in the $45 - $50k range. And that was absolutely stock model with zero bells and whistles. Anything that might even resemble what I got on that 2016 F150 was easily going to push $70 - $80k. I literally walked away wondering who in the hell could afford these trucks? The monthly payment would be double if not triple my mortgage. I left the lot in my "new to me" F150 thinking Ford Motor Company had lost their damn minds.

This is so true because a couple months ago I went to a Toyota dealership with my dad and we looked at a special edition bronze color sienna. It was the only Toyota Sienna available at the time. But the thing is it was a used 12k miles for a 2021 edition. It should be like 35k or max we will pay is 40k, but the dealer was asking over 70k if we include everything we have to pay for just for a used 12k miles Toyota Sienna. Even though we really needed a family car we both agreed that it was a big waste of time and money. Then later we ordered another Toyota Sienna in like some sport wheels and a blue color from a different dealership, and they said it would arrive by August. During that time it was around late May so when we came back from vacation they said “sorry, Toyota is not making those cars for us” so our wait was a waste of time. We tried again and picked a lower trim with a gray color but eventually we changed our mind since it wouldn’t be truly worth it, especially bad service and high pricing. Conclusion is I wouldn’t see Toyota dealerships the same.

I bought a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek in 2018 for 15k and in January this year sold it for 17k. started at 72K mileage and sold it at 96K… these are wild times.

[@Sterling_Silver04]

I have a 23 year old Chevy Blazer with 68,000 miles on it. Back in 2018, I picked my baby up for 250 dollars. The previous owner hit a deer with it, and she was slated for the scrapyard. I bought a worn out one (has about 300,000 miles on it (mine had barely 60,000 miles) for another 300 dollars and moved the parts over that I needed. 550 dollars, plus 80 dollars to buy automotive paint for the hood and right front fender, which I then self-painted. DIY part transplant, including body panels, radiator, condenser, Air Conditioner parts, coolant reservoir, and a few other parts that got damaged. She's been the perfect vehicle ever since I did that. She is in stellar condition with minimal money spent to become so. Engine runs clean and strong, interior is flawless (though slight cigarette odor from previous owner, so I use a handful of air fresheners) Seats are clean cloth type, no tears or rips, the dash isn't cracked, but she also isn't a Dodge Pickup truck so... yeah. Sunroof, fog light package, four wheel drive option, she is a decked out beast. I plan to keep her running for a long time. Basically the luxury SUV of the 90's. Only issue is the fuel economy is 20 (ish) per gallon on the highway, so I've been using my 1981 Suzuki Gs-650 motorbike a lot lately because of Brandon's work at the pump, (60 mpg highway) but other than that I would buy that truck again in a heartbeat.

Sadly this predatory shit in the states has affected us up here in Canada. Some of our Ford Dealers up here are refusing to sell you a car or truck as a cash purchase because of the fear of you flipping it and selling it for more money stateside. Other than an Odommeter swap and changing some programming vehicle is the same. My brother in law just ran into this, he wanted a new truck as a business owner they would only let him pay half the value in cash he had to finance the rest. I thought it was the dealer being a dick and just wanting the kick back for financing but the dealer said you can come in 24 months later and pay out the balance with no penalty they just want to make sure the truck stays in Canada.

This is price gouging and should be against the law.

[@superdave8248]

Yes and no. The problem is supply and demand. One thing COVID taught us was that far too many parts for these vehicles come from overseas and when supply or distribution takes a hit, scarcity causes the prices to go up considerably. About a year ago, I do recall dealerships complaining that they couldn't get in new stock. So everybody was jacking up prices because (1) they could and (2) to try to keep some form of inventory on the lot for new vehicles. I'm assuming they are still doing it. But this will change once the market goes into a deep recession. The car industry will shift back to normal.

[@GhostDrummer]

It’s not price gouging though. It’s a vehicle, not vital services or food. As long as the dealers aren’t lying or false advertising the price and conditions, it’s legal. Plus, the vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

If you can't negotiate close to MSRP at a dealership then consider how much it would cost to upgrade and modernize an older vehicle. If it's cheaper to modernize and upgrade then go for it.
