i feel like it should be a beware of every dealership they are there for one reason

That is a sad attitude. There are plenty of honest dealerships out there. Now making money is not a crime. At least it didn't used to be but in the last few years I have begun to wonder if our current administration tries to outlaw profit in Amerika!

I run a plumbing company..profit isn't a bad word..selling something way over market value ..because you can. Or selling someone something they don't need is bad business.. yes there are some honest dealerships and some shady ones.. find one your comfortable with and stick with em..car salesman are a different story..most tell half truths and the other half none...lol

There's a growing attitude in America that started about 5 years ago (hmm, can anyone think of something that happened about that time in America?) that capitalism, profit and big corporations are evil.

Meanwhile some (apparently a minority) think that big government is a bigger problem.

Things have been headed in a very bad direction and it looks like it will continue for a few more years at least.

(Just remember, ABC, Anyone But Clinton).

I love capitalism, this country was built on it. I know I am trying to makes as much money, and leave the largest carbon footprint I can!

Remember when it was ABB? Anybody but Brown! Now that senile old bastard wants to run for a 4th term.

California is nestled nicely between the Pacific ocean and reality. I marvel every time I get to visit!

It could be even worse. There's been some talk of that POS running for president!

ABB + ABC = HOPE for CHANGE

If I wanted to go buy a Raptor and didn't research the hell out of it first, I'd get completely screwed. If I visited four random dealers around here (so cal), I'd probably get "confirmation" that they were all $10,000 over sticker, and that's what you have to pay, due to limited supply.

When I was shopping back in 2010, I called a tremendous number of dealers, and a majority of them lied to me. I'm not simply talking about quoting me a price too high, I'm talking about actual far-fetched, nonsense, proper lying to justify that inflated price.

I don't think it's anti-capitalist to be very annoyed by the idea of business models that make their money by serving disinformation to the public. Auto dealers, and auto repair (since it was brought up), commit these acts commonly. I'm sure this annoys the honest businesses even more then it annoys the consumer.

I guess I shouldn't be too upset, my truck is worth $10k more than it should be.
