[QUOTE="PistolWhip, post: 9544896, member: 30361"] Guys come on, it's not a scam its supply and demand:read:. If you think for a second that Ford isn't thrilled that these cars are pulling premiums, you bumped your head. Even if "Ford" the company is not making the major profit, they benefit in the end as the money made is poured back into their pockets one way or another in the way of other inventory, dealer survivability, etc… You can't kill a dealer for trying to make money on a car that's high in demand, that's what being in sales is all about. I can understand the frustration that some people feel that are on the cusp of being able to afford the car only to be denied by a big mark up, trust me I'm in the same boat, you can’t blame the dealer for a market that’s driven by the buyer. It's the impatient buyers that are willing to over pay for the product that drive the market.
