Yet to propose that dealers sell for MSRP (“S” = suggested) strikes me as a demand for price fixing (albeit, non-government imposed). Why? Let the dealer charge whatever the market will bear. If the buyer is some guy/gal who just signed a front-loaded guaranteed money sports contract, let him or her pay up for that new car – they can afford it. The dealer in turn will redistribute the wealth and generate commerce in the form of commissions to its salespeople, capital improvements to dealership, offset discounts on other models, dividend to the owners so they can bid on a black rhino hunt, whatever – that’s capitalism. Don't like Momentum’s pricing policy – don’t patronize them (works just as well with deceptive sales practices, see Lozzy997’ “My poor car” thread on Rennlist). Do it in sufficient numbers and they’ll succumb – not because they like you or feel they've done something morally wrong – but because it’s bad for their business.

More than complaining about having to wait in line for an iPhone, this is perhaps one of the grandest examples of WPP.

Agree with just about everything you say but guess I am not as fired up about it and really don't care what a dealer charges.. More power to them.

Although there are probably some 1%er's on here I suspect there are a lot more like me... Maybe 10 percent or less.. Spend our money with some education.. That being said, some of the tightest wallet people I know are the most wealthy..

Oh yea, what dealer do you work at... Just kidding....!!!

I agree about charging what the marked will bear, if one of your customers trades or sells the dealer back a car, all bets off do what you want thats secondary market. I also believe as an owner if you want to get rid of the car you should offer it back to dealer at MSRP, if they decline, sell it in whatever way you want thats your right. If I were PNA I would cut allocations to anyone who sold at over MSRP, anyone who sold to their brother in law to flip on secondary market or anyone who sold a car to Justin Bieber, Kanye West or any Kardashian family member
