Yep, and I hope everyone who paid over MSRP left their dealer a crappy review with Ford and online.

That whole, "If you can't leave us 5 stars, call us before you choose anything else!" thing?

Yeah... I didn't give my dealer 5 stars in all categories...

Sorry, but they paid it, how is it the dealer's fault?

If nobody was paying ADM, dealer's wouldn't be charging it.

Newsflash. Most cars have ADM and overpriced in general these days. Plus higher interest rates, which won't reduce dealer prices.

If you want a NEW car you have to do 1 of 2 things if not both:

1. Wait
2. Pay a premium

Doesn't make it any less douchy. Some people need to buy a vehicle.

Again, if *nobody* was paying it, they wouldn't be charging it.

That's not a good argument, hate to say. Bronco isn't the only vehicle on the market
If I can't afford an Aston Martin, should I call the dealers douschebags because the asking price is out of my range?

Buyers remorse is real and dangerous when you pay ADM or get the 2.3L

Weird, since I don't see a thread with 62 "2.3L failures" (and counting)

They shouldn't feel resentment, nobody forced them to pay too much.

Spoken like a true slush box driver

That isn’t really fair either-there are a multitude of reasons why people are paying ADMs-sometimes a car purchase is unexpected and you need a car.

The vast majority of cars sitting on lots today have ADMs on them because demand is
there for it and there is a shortage of supply.

Once demand goes away or supply increases, that is what your going to be dealing with.

What these dealers don't see, or maybe they do, is that they are speeding their own demise.

They are fueling consumer sentiment towards direct purchase.

Is it that far of a stretch to foresee Amazon selling and delivering new cars?
