I really don't think of it as shaming and I doubt anyone here is against the flow of capitalism and commerce and the American value of "making an honest buck". The old adage of "time is money" applies here and folks looking to avoid wasting effort on places that are asking for more than even the manufacturer recommends charging its customers should not be disparaged from flexing both their right of free speech and the right of the power of their individual capital. If the market will bear the cost of the ADM that these dealers are asking, then so be it and more power to them (both buyers and sellers). If educated consumers are searching for the best deal for their hard earned income and they are looking to spend it on American products sold by fellow Americans, there is no problem with making a list of those dealers that choose to set prices that are higher than some educated consumers are willing to spend. The market adjusts in both directions. Personally I refuse to spend more than MSRP on principal as MSRP gives dealers and manufacturer a healthy profit. If my stance on principal precludes me from purchasing a product that I believe is being priced to high, that is just life. There is generally no law against asking for any price on "non-necessity" consumer products and there is no law against saying that "no way in hell will I pay an ADM and here are the folks that are looking to charge an ADM". Educated buyers AND sellers can benefit from resources like this list.
Some valid points but if we're going to go down the road of "time is money", isn't this thread a little more useful? http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/raptor-dealers-selling-near-invoice-gen-2-a-49138/
OP created a thread out of frustration, which i understand, but at the end of the day it's just a let's share our "butthurt" thread.
Taking one guys experience at a dealership as gospel and assuming that's how this dealer operates with everyone across the board seems a little naive to me. Too many variables involved...
Armyturtle... I can honestly guaranty that dealerships could care less about being on your "blacklist", but whatever helps you sleep better at night.
