Not a Ranger, but dealer pricing games info.

[LoneRNGR]

Remember, there is a dealer member here, Granger Ford, that will sell one to you for 3% under invoice.

So, as you can see below, Granger Ford does not have any Rangers in stock. The only one on their website is one that is "Dealer Ordered." which means that if you buy it, you can expect it in February or March, that is if it hasn't already been purchased. If it makes it to their lot unsold, they will add dealer installed options. And I don't know what the invoice price on this particular vehicle is, but it is 6.89% off of MSRP.

Dealer had a gorgeous AGM Bronco raptor they just sold when I picked uo my truck last night...

Listed for ~50k over sticker. Sold for 40k over sticker....

My sales guy said that he's not the biggest fan of it, but people keep paying it, so they keep marking them up.

IDK but I always wanted to add the puke emoji to the reaction tab.

I'm on another forum that uses xenforo and they have a few more smileys... Thanks, bullseye are the two I think have good value added.

The problem that dealers capitalize on is that people "have to have" a certain vehicle and are afraid to walk away. I always have my requirements determined when I start looking and only focus on must have. When I purchased Rusty a few months ago I looked at several that sold before I got there and a few weeks later I found the one I have now. When we started negotiating the offer was $15k higher than I was willing to pay. It took a bit of time but I got the price I wanted and completed the deal. I have walked away from more than I have completed, but the sport is in the hunt.

Gorgeous paint, yes.....but, those fender flairs are hideous.

I wouldn't say no if someone gave it to me because of the fender flares. LOL

I just quit a job delivering parts for a dealership. I asked one of the sales guys how many vehicles they sell compared to pre-covid sales an he said well under half the volume. The Mazda lot they own is probably a quarter. I don't think it's unreasonable to try to make a little more since they are very limited on the number of sales but overhead for the building an stuff is the same. Some of the numbers I'm seeing on this thread is CRAZY. IMO $500 additional on a lower end car isn't out of line. If I were car shopping an seeing these numbers I'd be shopping for a beater on craigslist until things calmed down or I found a reasonable deal.

Good luck to anyone that needs a car NOW.

I agree.

To be devils advocate though, 500 and 1000 bucks a few times a month on half the volume ain't gonna pay the rent...

Charge what the market can handle.

If buyers don't like the prices, they won't buy.

The difference is there's no discounting now. Before they were selling just above cost on a lot of models, they're getting they full profit per vehicles now.

While selling half or a quarter of the vehicles...

Start early when you're not in a hurry.

I found someone who would give me an xplan code so the deal was super easy, no haggling. Just this is what I want, what's invoice price.
