^^ What's shady about a dealer capitalizing on market demand? Wouldn't that be bad business if they didn't? Guy who started this list must be a Bernie supporter... Free raptors for everyone. Get real.
Sure, it'd be great for dealers to sell at a max of MSRP but generalizing them as "shady" because they want more than you're willing to pay is a little overkill. Some of these dealers, not mentioning any names have done quite right by many forum members on a lot of different levels. But by all means carry on with your dealer shaming. Feel the bern?
I'm somewhere in the middle on the dealership issue, but I'm Republican. So you make me feel confused.
Joking aside, if a dealer wants to charge 5-20K over MSRP, personally, I think that's ****** up because it completely rules out a certain type of customer in that given area. And I think the type of customer they're ruling out, is the type of customer this truck was built for. And I may be totally against it, if there wasn't 200 other Ford dealers will to sell at MSRP and lower. I like the idea of the dealer blacklist. I think it takes some of the leg work out of the search for someone trying to find a Raptor at a real, affordable price. It's not illegal to charge more than MSRP, it just means you won't be getting my business or referral and I'll move on along.
I'm in the military, I can only afford the Raptor if I'm not getting *****, I mean charged over MSRP, so for me, it's important to find a good deal. But many people, their financial situation is different. And that's why dealers charge over MSRP. Hoping to hook the big fish. So again, this might just have to be one of those things like, don't like what you see? Move on to the next guy until you get what you want. There's not a shortage of dealerships willing to work with you. But to sum it up, I do like the dealer blacklist, and contributed. But I felt no bern.
