Godzilla never dies.

This is beneath Jalopnik and should be retracted with an apology. I mean, come on:

I disagree. MANUFACTURERS don’t advertise pricing. DEALERS do. Many dealers advertise “loss leader” pricing to draw customers in and sell pricier models. If you look at the adverts, you see “1 available at this price SN#**********” This is required by the Federal Trade commission. The manufacture’s list price comes…

It’s rarely that large of a gap between the base model and the top of the line model with the larger engine? You ever look at a 3 series or a C class? You’re looking at a minimum of $15k.

We are ALL Elon on this blessed day

That is quite a misleading title. It’s like saying that the base price of a BMW 3-series is $45,000 because the 335i exists.

COTD “Why don’t one of you morons just drive the car?” 

Wow. That’s the most whiniest, butt-hurt post I’ve read here (and that includes Hamilton Nolan’s stuff).

None of that gibberish refuted the idea of a free market.

Unsuspecting customers? I dunno, I think the people participating in the auction know exactly what they are doing. The fact is there are not enough demons to meet demand at that list price. Higher prices lower the demand. FCA didn’t charge enough and the dealers are finding the intersection.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what Dodge says or does. The market determines the price, and all this does is put the markup into the dealer’s pocket instead of a speculator.

Seems fine to me. In one article we all laugh and praise that you can buy an ELR for half off MSRP. Now we’re angry you have to pay well over sticker for something?

Humans are such fickle irrational creatures.

I fail to see a problem with dealer mark ups. If you want the car bad enough, pay up. I wouldn’t pay for the mark up, but, there hasn’t been a single car mentioned in any markup story that would have appealed to me. As long as there are people willing to pay for the markup, I encourage all dealers to continue with the…

Disgusting why? Either that is an appropriate market rate, or it’s too high and the car won’t sell. I don’t see the problem either way.

Didn’t read the book. Looks fun. Will watch and hopefully enjoy. Sometimes I learn something in the Gawker comments section. This time I was simply reminded of how happy I am to not be a pretentious dick bag.

The Delorean? Nice!

I love how they put a VW on the box.

Other than the blatant “[POP-CULTURE REFRENCE HERE]”, what exactly is everyone’s problem with this book. Ignoring any hypocritical issues by people commenting on it on a gaming zine.
