@Mark less than 5 minutes left. I wonder if it's gonna start heating up?
@Mark No Sale
@sumo hopefully this means these cars will sell at or close to MSRP in the near future.
@Mark @sumo I like how, in his comments, Doug is “thrilled” to have folks flipping new cars on his site…🙄
@CFBrand3rd @Mark Did I also see a comment on the listing after the auction was over that 'the market has spoken'? Remember, even the PT Cruiser had market adjustments the first year it came out.

@sumo @Mark What I recall of that era, at least in our area (Central Pennsylvania), was more of the “Required Dealer Installed Options” game; things like a $5 roll of vinyl pinstripes, applied by the $4.50/hr kid in the wash bay, listed at $199.95, $499.95 undercoating & such. Local dealers with “hot” new models, particularly the Honda/Toyota/VW stores, were big on this.

But I don’t recall any of this brazen “Market Adjustment” crap, and I worked at dealerships all through the ‘90s & aughts…🤷‍♂️
