Why is it that our "leaders" get in a bunch about alleged "price gougers" (big oil companies, big pharma, big grocery, etc.) but nary a word about auto dealers who add thousands to the price of cars, just because they can. I get supply and demand, but how about a little bit of consistency?

I recently bought a new car which the dealer wanted to add nearly $8000 in fees and charges. It took four hours of negotiations, but I did get my car for the MSP plus mandated sales taxes and new registration fees.

I have never paid more than 85% of MSRP, and I am not about to start now.

I tried to get them to knock off the Market Value Adjustment but they would not remove the fee……so I left. I am not paying $5000 just because they can and frankly shame on others who pay it.
Ocala Kia wanted $12,000 over manufacture. I just laughed and said I would never.

Only my first car did I buy new, otherwise I have never bought a new car and am not about to start now.
