[QUOTE="2KSVT, post: 3592870, member: 20153"] Well, the way the franchising laws are set up now, Ford can't cap the price on them. Dealer pays for the car upfront, so as soon as it's delivered to the dealer lot, they "own" the car. It'd be different if they paid FoMoCo after the sale. MSRP is the "suggested" retail price. Plus, if you don't allow cars to be sold over MSRP, you can forget about ever getting a car under MSRP as well. Cuts both ways. If you don't have to be the first guy on your block to have one, wait it out. There's gonna be plenty of these things around at MSRP or possibly lower after 6 months or so. This scenario has played itself out time and time again with so many different cars ('03 Cobra, PT Cruiser, Viper back around '91, Z06, Thunderbird, etc.)... let the "absolutely-gotta-have-it"s pay the premium and let the market even itself out.
