[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 15638177, member: 138337"] Yep. But those cars that are left are either priced at a crazy ADM, or the dealer is keeping it. I see it all the time. If that's your guess, your guess is wrong. Like I've mentioned several times, withholding allocation based on the dealer's willingness to sell a vehicle at a specific price, will violate the franchise agreement. Dealers are forced to stock inventory that have margins less than $200. Once you pay any type of floorplan, pay a commission, etc...these cars are losers. There are 25 times as many small margin cars as large margin vehicles sold. Do you remember what Dodge said though? They said that the allocations would be based on the dealerships ability to sell at volume (in theory at lower prices). Well, it didn't work, because dealers sold at huge markups quickly, at the beginning of the production year. Again, you can't compare Dodge or GM to Ford. Dodge/GM is notorious for overproducing, flooding the market, and then offering STEEP discounts. Until Ford produces the amount of specialty vehicles that GM/Dodge produces, then it doesn't matter. Look at the Raptor compared to the Dodge Rebel; same thing. [/QUOTE]
