Well...
In the case of the new GT500, I can almost understand it. They're going to be limited, and everybody's going to want one. I would expect most people will pay over MSRP for it.
It's just like me and cellphones. I use a Treo 650, which is pretty high-end. Every year that a new model has come out, I've bought it, regardless of price, just so I could have the cool new toy. When it comes to Mustangs that are a dime a dozen though, it makes me angry. Not to mention that when someone buys a 'stang they are joining our club, whether we like it or not. And when they pay too much for their membership it makes all of us look a tad dumber.
...while I understand what you're saying, I don't agree. It bothers me because inevitably when the dealers get away with it with someone else, they try it with me. I'm not very happy with my dealer (Kings Crown in Brunswick GA) but I was happy with the sales guy himself. The problem comes when they start talking like the Pony you're looking at is some kind of collectible, and people paying well over MSRP allows them to do that.mrGT said:
