Jalopnik uses that reference when they have a car for specific price and people vote in a poll in its a "nice price" or " crackpipe price".

 

Stupid. Paying above sticker on a car is ridiculous.

 

(emphasis mine, fixin' it for me in a hypothetical scenario.)

It's all about a bit of perspective, really.

No, I don't want to do it. But if it's rare enough? And I want it bad enough? And I want it *now*?

Yep. Totally gonna do it. 'Cause I can, and I've rationalized it in my brain.

That is, I would if I were of the rare are monetary means that stuff like this would come up, anyway. Us peons forget... cash to burn is a thing, and some will burn it very well.

I wouldn't for most things.... but for one of these? I might...

But I can't so it's moot.

 

I was at my dealer today to get the drivers airbag recall done on my 05 and I saw a 2015 50th in the showroom in a dark blue color. Sticker was about $47k and the dealer added about $26k on to it. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me. I think it's going to sit in that showroom a long time.

 

That is why they still have them. My local dealer sold theirs for sticker and where pre bought.

Before I ordered my 2014. I really wanted a Dodge Challenger SRT8. I found several at the dealers in central Florida. a lot of them had theirs for 2 years. All colors even special editions. They finally had to sell them for 10K under cost. A few less than that. What is the saying Pig's get.....

 

...fed. 'Cause them Challengers ain't light, y'know.

 

My dealership just sold their Kona 50th for $2,500 over invoice to some NJ sucka!

 

If you think he's a sucker for paying $2,500 over invoice.. Just imagine paying 10k over sticker like the sucker who bought his Kona 50th from my dealership did

 

Local dealer still has their 50th Anni, it is 15K over invoice , they have had it since they were released, I told them then they would be sitting on it a while, of course they said it would sell in a week. That was two months ago.
I think it is laughable, but like many dealers say there's a butt for every seat, now they just need to find the right A.. to fill it.

 

 

I think they should get a smack up side the head for asking anything more than 3k over sticker.

 

You will see them in 10 years at car shows with less than 5,000 miles on them. At least you will get to see them for a while!

 

That is less than MSRP, considering what others are paying that is a very good deal.

 

Dodge as part of the Hell Cat release told the dealers if they asked a premium over MSRP that they would be moved to the back of the allocation list. They can't stop them from charging a premium but they are going to give priority for addtional Hell Cats to dealers that don't.

All manufactuers should be doing this to keep gouging under control.

 

Yep but I could have bought it or got it priced at invoice for someone on this forum. I had a couple TMSers inquire but they all wanted automatics! :-)

 

Godless heathens.

 

If a person is looking for the 50th anniversary edition car for rarity, then by all means the automatic is the way to go. If ford NEVER ever has a combination of Automatic with the Track Pack, then owners of the Auto version has some money in their hand.

 

Is this not a redundant statement? This would be like saying Godly Christian or Unbelieving Atheist.

Yes, had I been a little more patient, I would have chosen the 50th with Automatic. Unfortunately, the banks will not finance a mystery markup on the MSRP, meaning customers would likely have to pay the markup up front, which makes these "special" cars a little harder to sell.
