[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 16742512, member: 138337"] 1. Farley, like CEOs of other manufacturers, has always denounced dealers for charging ADMs. It's 99% a publicly cry though, as OEMs can't dictate what dealerships charge for the vehicles, parts, service they provide. 2. When Ford launched the Mach E, Lightning, etc...it's already different than the traditional model. 3. Manufacturers would go out of business fighting the franchise law lawsuits that would come from dismembering the dealer body. 4. I don't think you're familiar with the ROI, net operating profit as a percent of sales, etc of a car dealership. If you were, you'd ask anyone in the business why they don't invest their money elsewhere. 5. There isn't anything sitting on lots, at any mark up at this point. I get calls every day offering to pay $10k+ over MSRP for new vehicles. 6. Go back in time a few years...do you realize that once the vehicle comes off the assembly line, the dealership pays for it? Whether with cash or on a floorplan? It doesn't cost the OEM to have vehicles sitting. If a dealer wants to grossly price himself outside the constraints of the market, why do you care? EDIT: Example I just received via email. These are dealers buying from other dealers. [/QUOTE]
