petition to prevent Toyota dealerships from going over MSRP?

Wasn’t there a thread recently where someone mentioned a petition to stop Toyota dealerships from selling the 2022 Tundras over MSRP? Similar to what Chevrolet did with the Corvettes?

*don’t attack me, i just want to read the thread*

 

Wasting your time on that one.

 

So you want dealerships who are private businesses that basically have no inventory and are only surviving by their added mark up… to not mark up the tundra so you can get a better deal? Ok.

 

Dealerships aren’t hurting… at all. LOL. But MSRP is an imaginary number these days it seems like.

A study earlier this year said that 40% of new vehicle shoppers (in the USA) were WILLING to pay 12% over MSRP. Based on average prices, that is approximately $5000 over MSRP.

Good luck with that. If I were a salesman at a Toyota dealer and someone showed me a petition to try and get a lower price, I’d probably laugh them out the door.

 

Not how a free market economy works. You could try convincing people not to BUY above MSRP, but as long as buyers are willing to pay what’s asked, it’ll happen. That’s what’s driving inflation right now— more than any actual increased costs.

 

Don't buy the truck. This is simple economics. Consumer demand will drive pricing. If enough people pass on the ridiculous pricing then supply will out weigh demand and prices will come down.

We should have a petition to ban idiot people from wasting their money on mark ups

 

in 1961 maybe. we all petition ideas everyday with likes and dislikes on social media and webpages just like this. overall it results in very little change.

 

Petitions are so 1950's. Today you have to be outraged and get media buy in. Start out with social media attacks, as more join the outrage mainstream media will pick up on it. Being under attack from these 2 angles will ensure that your enemy either caves to your demands or is permanently destroyed.

 

Don’t attack me y’all lol.. i just wanted to read the thread haha

Well, that takes the fun out of my snarky comment.

 

Aww those poor dealerships, I'm sure they're barely scraping by.

/s

 

Petition...LOL

 

I don’t give a shit about the dealerships. I just believe in a free economy. You don’t?

 

Second that.
