I know multiple people who have paid ADM's. That extra amount is irrelevant to them as they know how to invest elsewhere. If you're looking towards cars as investment you're retarded, not them.
Paying ADM’s is justifying someone’s greed. They only other market that uses business model anywhere close is the housing market and that only happens when 2 or more parties want the same property and are trying to out bid the other. They don’t market the property as “xxx is the price but you need to give us yyy more in order for us to sell it to you.” This sort of shit just doesn’t exist in other markets. You don’t walk into your local furniture store and see furniture with ADM attached. Why should I walk into a dealership and expect to pay ADM on a vehicle? The only answer is dealership greed. Sorry not buying into that. If you are stupid enough or enjoy being bent over by a greedy dealer, I guess it’s your money. Personally, I have never wanted a vehicle bad enough to pay 75% over MRSP. Just as a side note, of all the new vehicles I have bought in my life, I have only paid full MRSP on one and and wasn’t happy about that.
It's the same in the watch market as well as any market that has high demand/low quantity.
Yes Ford is complicit in this Monopoly. They only sell the vehicles to the inside traders and we as customers have to put up with the bullshit. It's 2023, why the F cant people go on a website and order a vehicle that they want for the price offered? This dealership game is a joke - its only a matter of time before it crumbles, this ADM nonsense that is happening is only speeding up their demise.
I do understand it. That does not mean I have to agree with it. I won't pay ADM for a new vehicle, and with what is on the market these days and my age, might not ever buy another new vehicle. Others can choose to dispose of their money as they see fit. If they are happy lining the pockets of some greedy slime ball car sales person, nothing I can do about it but I can make my choices clear with my money and make my feelings known about.
Let me help you out, no, you do not understand it lol.
And some of the worst reputations in the business world…..
I am fully aware of how and why it works. You just wasted your time trying to explain something that needed no explanation. Take your “superior” mansplaining somewhere please.
True but the reputation persists. Things like ADM and some of the bait and switch tactics that some dealers employ do nothing to improve the reputation. I suspect that most people going to buy a new car are somewhat apprehensive about the whole experience. Unless the customer is fully armed with current information the likelihood of being taken advantage of is still very high unfortunately.
