I'm just here to say how much I love your current avatar!!Anyone's guess at this point...commodity parts pricing, inflation, new tooling costs (MIC tops), etc will all factor in. Plan for the worst and hope for the best?
Your negotiation skills, and dealership generosity, will have the final say.
New tooling costs are baked into piece price based on volume, not inflation handed down to the customer. OEMs cut new tooling all the time for different reasons. sometimes just for increasing capacity based on higher volumes, as is the case in the bronco/second line. the MIC 2.0 came quicker than they projected i’m sure, but no way would that be a reason for a huge retail cost jumpAnyone's guess at this point...commodity parts pricing, inflation, new tooling costs (MIC tops), etc will all factor in.

Actually, yes, and Ford was the first company to do so. As assembly line efficiency and sales demand ramped up, the Model T got cheaper and cheaper. By a lot.Have prices ever gone DOWN, in the history of automotive?
Explorer prices did.Have prices ever gone DOWN, in the history of automotive?
You can bet on that. The best anyone could hope for is they hold the line until later in 22 or hold off increases till 23.Bronco prices won't
Well they say that admitting the problem is the first step in rectifying it, so kudos to you for not being shy to do so.Yep, comprehension problem. Moving on......
I never quoted that "all" dealers are doing this, but I have seen in my area at both Jeep and Ford have dealerships markups notices. I live in the Fresno County area in California. It could be just that independent dealer that chose not to have markups or on that specific model, there are no markups. Either way, I stand with my opinion that price inflation will have a significant jump after all this COVID-19 pandemic.I’m not sure I follow your train of thought. I bought a new 2022 Honda and was able to purchase it at an $1800 discount off MSRP. The deals are out there you just have to do a little bit of homework and not throw your money away.
