I think it is shameful that car manufacturers have not developed a fair pricing system for their product, like almost every other product retailer.
How about the differences in a dealership’s local, city, county taxes and overhead costs depending on their location? Food doesn’t cost the same in every Publix grocery store, for example. Just sayin….
