minus-squareNutinButNet@hilariouschaos.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-219 days agoThe salesman at our local Ford dealership was bragging about how his dealership puts a $50k markup on all new Lightnings that hit their lot. I left and never plan on going back to that one ever again. Ford supposedly doesn’t like dealerships doing that but I’ve heard of tons of similar stories all over the US. It’s really crappy we can’t just get a vehicle at a decent price without all the unnecessary bullshit.
