Replying to: nthe (Nov 10, 2009 3:48 pm) The problem with that is the dealership will drop/reduce the price on one end, and put it somewhere else. Local Hyundai dealer easily agreed to drop the price of a dealer add-on of alarm system, pinstripes, and mud flappers... listed at around $1.800. But, they would not go down very far on the price of their Tucson. So, even if they say they are dropping the price of Toyogard, it costs them something to have it put on, which the customer will end up paying for in some form or another. In the end you'll always end up paying more for dealership pre-installed add-ons than you would a car with only factory equipment ( all things being equal)... nothing is free.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Nov 10, 2009 3:32 pm) Went by dealershi today for oil change (coupon for $19). They had a Wrangler Unlimited fully loaded (Rubicon). MSRP $36K. Next to sticker, there was a smaller once that said "Additional mark up $2,000." No fancy wheels, no protection package, nothing. Pure mark up. I laughed and walked away.

Replying to: nthe (Nov 10, 2009 3:03 pm) Uh uh, MSRP is Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price which means nothing if no one really sells at that price. You car guys can use it as a guide, but it doesn't mean much if almost know one pays it. In fact, the government would probably go after all the car dealers if they all banned together and only charged MSRP. I like that dealer that has the prices on the windshield, and charge $400 over cost. I could live with that. Sounds fair all around. I guess they will make more on the options as well.
