@brianmello. Saturn had the “This is the price” business practice. That didn’t end well for them. Government needs to stay out of price setting! If you don’t like the price go to another dealership. The one you work for seams to have a great customer service practice. With that sales will be huge. Sell 100 trucks for lower that MSRP is better than selling 5 trucks well over MSRP. 100 potential return customers vs. 5. It’s easy.

Eliminating the dealers would also eliminate many jobs as well as give manufacturers complete control over what we pay for their vehicles. Here's an idea...how about we, the consumer, stop paying these ridiculous markups.

GM's allocation scam is BS. I ordered a GMC, and 14 weeks later GM hadn't even picked up the order. They don't need my business.

Just shut down any dealers that do any kind of stupid markup.

The second word in MSRP is suggested. I do not pay ‘Market adjustment’ prices. What is happening with the Corvette Z06 pricing is crazy, any dealer that has large markups will eventually feel the rath of the consumer.

@@krispayyt5380 there are very few dealers offering Z06 for Msrp. There is still thousands on the waiting list to order these cars.

Production was eventually halted in Fort Wayne because of the chip shortage and many trucks were parked in fields which was a huge mistake. Rodents ate the wiring and it was rumored that those trucks were to be scrapped. They should have stopped sooner but, GM thought that the shortage wasn't going to last long. It lasted far longer than anticipated.

LOL a local dealer here is marking up a new Z06 $50K and they have 8 on the lot

How much of this inventory constraints, parts constraints, skyrocketing prices is just setting us up for the EV world coming?

Whatever it is I always buy directly from the business. If you add a middle player then something is added or can go wrong.

I think consumers should have the choice. Manufacturers can continue to give the dealers the same markdowns as today. However, the dealership better add some sort of value to the deal. If I had the choice to go through the dealer experience and save a little money or have a Tesla like buying experience for a little more, I am choosing the less stressful one.

Dealership lost my respect Try to find fair deal No tears from me Hopefully many of them go out business

My parents owned a GM store, I grew up in it. I absolutely do not like GM controlling the inventory, I truly miss the days you could go out Saturday morning and come home that afternoon with a new Denali. Pricing? It was also our biggest dissatisfaction at our store. I could probably get used to standardized pricing across the board. Thanks for the great videos!

It used to be used car dealers that people didn't trust...why do i need someone to charge me to buy something?

Consumers have the option of paying above MSRP or not. If you feel a dealer is gouging people, dont buy from them. Easy, yes?

I don’t pay MSRP and would never pay a mark up.

Tesla also has a crappy warranty service let alone eliminating dealerships would put a lot of people out of work nation wide. Thanks for the updated information Brian. Love your channel.

That car is never been to the dealer. It’s only gone to America’s tire. For tires. So I would not even know what their warranty service is like. This damn thing holds together.

What happened to dealer trades? Back a couple decades, dealer trades was a thing. The dealer won't tell you where they found the vehicle you wanted but they can get it for you. I got my y2k Taco with 156 miles on it from a local dealership but the Moroney sticker showed a dealership a hundred miles away. It was a rare combo, TRD 4x4 with 5-speeed and ABS in silver. If one dealership has a full lot and another doesn't, do they still do dealer trades?

To do a dealer trade you need to give up something to get something. If one party has nothing the other wants , it doesn't work.

Dealers are supposed to be the advocator for the consumer. Instead they spent the last 2 years ripping them off. They shouldn’t be surprised consumers would love to see them gone now.

Dealers were never intended to be a consumer advocate, it's a business designed to make a profit like all businesses. There was a consumer advocate oriented manufacturer and dealer network years ago you may remember. It was called Saturn. They never once turned a profit, just losses year after year until going out of business completely.

I’m so glad my 2024 GMC 2500 is sitting in my garage. Ordered January 20th and I picked it up May 30th 🙏 Absolutely love it. Now have to save to replace wife’s 2020 GMC 1500 Maybe the 2025’s 🤔

After more than 20 years in the business it amazes me that customers did not have a problem with the dealers giving big discounts when inventory was plentiful but scream an yell when they have to pay a mark up when dealers cant replace the inventory they have. Brian, GM has always as far back as I can remember been on a turn and earn allocation system and constraints on builds due to availability of parts. Also on the Federal government puts restrictions on manufacturers by making them meet a model year MPG or pay fuel guzzler tax.

@BrianMello

For sure Jerry, there has always been an allocation system in place, but when the 4th gen trucks came out in 2019 they seemed to tighten the supply dramatically. They also seem to be making it impossible for some of the smaller dealers to survive. If they aren't giving those dealers any units, how can they turn them to earn more. They seem to just dump the inventory that nobody wants on those dealers. Of course supply chain issues became a real problem in 2020+ so I get the constraints, but now it seems they are throttling the factories to keep supply down in order to maintain and justify the high prices. You do make a very good point with the government restrictions when it comes to MPG, and now EV credits. The whole thing is just chaos at this point. Appreciate your comment, thanks for watching.

I would have a new cayon already, but my dealer only got allocated 2 and the factory told them it has to be 2WD ..... And it snows here, nobody here wants a 2WD meanwhile, other dealers got allocted at least 10 canyons.......

the price of trucks is outrageous ill never buy a new car again until they become reasonable $20 k max they lose value the second you own it

Yikes, thank goodness people are starting wake up and realize why waste that on a Ford instead get something better. Fords trucks are losing sales.

Dealerships got greedy with dealer markups and they deserve to go out of business.

DO NOT BUY A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. WAIT UNTIL OCT/NOV.

I know you don’t like it, but dealers will be phased out. The big manufacturers will do what Ford is doing and form a new company which is direct to consumers. Dealerships will become delivery centers, service centers, and a means to trade in your vehicle. More than likely they’ll leverage the electric platform to do this. Dealers are making major profits by selling at MSRP and also the kick backs for every unit sold. I have no sympathy for any dealer selling above MSRP and not much for those selling at it. While everyone has been rolling in the money, GM’s service departments are poorly staffed and in general not providing the service customers have been paying for. If you truly want prices to be set at MSRP, GM will do that for you, but they will lower MSRP and you’ll make a set margin, which will be more than likely much less than what it is now. If I owned a dealer I would focus on the customer experience, service departments, and the used car market. Since used cars are generally where the most money can be made, I don’t see this as a bad opportunity. The consumer demand, frustration with dealership’s taking advantage of them, shady tactics, are all going to bite dealers. Before you say your dealership doesn’t do this, you’re the one saying everyone should be selling at MSRP, when in reality everyone should be doing what said dealership in Florida is doing. Seems to me their the ones not taking advantage of people, but rather making profits by being high volume. The fact they get so many allocations shows GM wants this model. As an avid car buyer and fan of GM’s, I can’t wait for this to happen to not have to deal with the buying experience. With that, love your videos and appreciate your content. Always insightful!

Corporate greed.

Stop buying markups.... just like Bud Light. Let those sales drop for a few months.
