They are out of their minds.

 

[soldthetaco]

they have no intention to sell at that price, this is the same vehicle in the youtube video, probably a PR stunt with that markup
truly LMAO
SEL is the most abundant trim of SC, in a month or two, they will be sold at a discount for sure

I hope they like washing it to keep their LuxCare looking luxy

They might want to pick up some rat traps to put under the hood to keep them from eating the organic wiring while it sits on the lot collecting dust.

I just finished cleaning up the drink I spit out all over the floor after seeing that! That puts a limited there in the mid to high 50s. That's stupid
thinking for ya. And what's in the dealership package? A year of valet service and everything included? I'm excited to buy one but I'll wait TY.

As I mentioned my dealer said I won't even be able to try to get a SC before three months have passed. The markups will be insane. So much for that Limited I had my eye set on.

I think Hyundai has made Ford's job even easier by allowing this kind of gouging. Most dealers are offering them at MSRP and some for 3-4% under.

I had been in correspondence with a local dealer about a Santa Cruz for months, and put them on my reservation, and they told me their first unit will have 2.5k markup. Told them to go pound sand.

Rodents love those soy-based wires. Chipmunks ate right through the engine wiring harness on my Tucson while it was parked on my driveway. Reminds me I’ll need to tape up some wires if I get the SC!

Keep posting the names of these scum bag dealers so we know which ones to NEVER visit.

I pity the fool that pays over MSRP for any vehicle, much less a mass produced vehicle like this. You will not be seeing any SC collectors editions at Barrett Jackson in 30 years heck I have a limited edition C7 (#380 of 500) and bought it used for nearly 1/2 off it’s original MSRP after just 5 years.

On the contrary, let's all visit them and test drive those marked up ones

Exactly - just how much of their time can we waste.

Aside from the pricing, how did it feel driving it?

 

[Walking Black Bear]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Good luck. I can't quite make out the small writing on the sign behind it though ... what's their "Vehicle Match Guarantee"? Is that a price match guarantee? If so, just bring a sticker from a non-scuzzball dealership and make them beat it. LOL 20k markup ... I want the California bud they be smokin'!!

It looks like: "<??????> THE BEST TIRES FOR YOUR VEHICLE"

Dealer spec Kumho 20K specials. They're the bomb!

The one thing that is a little misleading in the post is he includes the factory charges for the Activity Package and destination as though they are add-ons instead of the factory MSRP... but still over $14,000 is more than crazy.

 

[Gooze]

Nope... As I said before, it's an "I want" vehicle, so I can wait until this episode of the Twilight Zone ends.....If they are not willing to go down to at least sticker price, I can do without it. Someone on the SC FaceBook page said a Florida dealer was asking $49K for an SEL Premium AWD ....

Same here... just another reason I'll hang out until November before I even bother entertaining actually buying one. Hopefully by then dealers will be reasonable... I doubt it because sleaze ball doesn't wash off even after multiple baths.

"A little misleading" is a bit too kind-hearted, I think.

The dealer can quickly discount his $10K "Market Adjustment" to show how reasonable he is.

Then, he can let you beat him down on the $3500 "Value Package" to show what a tough negotiator you are.

Finally, as a last-ditch sacrifice to 'move the unit' -- if you'll buy it today -- he can pay the $900 for the "Paint Seal" out of his own pocket.

But, alas, he says, shaking his head slowly, there is nothing he can do about the "Activity Package" and "Freight Charges," since they are factory costs he has no control over <sigh>. (Nevermind that they were already added into the MSRP''s $27190 -- that is his own $4500 "Dealer Enhancement Fee.")

You're stealing the thing, since he's discounted it by $14500 for you -- why, that's a third off!

And, don't forget the 'invoice' cost for the dealer is also somewhere around $1500 below the MSRP, so he's actually up by $6K without any other holdbacks.)

Now, let's see what the appraiser thinks about that nice looking trade-in you brought. I heard he was really in a good mood today....
