Ive found good Chrysler dealers around me. A big reason I've stayed with the brand.
The local GM dealer tries to get greedy then wonders why they can't sell a car.

30 miles away, farm town Chevy dealer just said Im number 2 or 3 MSRP on a Z06 vette. Probably a 2024 car but they have sold a handful of C8s and believe they will get at least 1 allocation per year if not more.

Ford, holy fuck, drove an hour a way to look at an Explorer ST for the wife, $7k markup "because it was on the lot."
GT350 - markups
GT500 - lol
Raptors - was actually told I don't want that truck. Finally got to test drive a barely used one at a Porsche dealer who actually treated me like a customer.

Focus RS - 14k markup, wife was ready to write a check when she saw that. Dealer sat on that car for a year and ended up selling under sticker just to move it.

I've had terrible luck trying to buy a Ford. Even trying to buy new Transit Vans and F350s for work, dealer playing mark up games.
Found 2 Ram dealers close and got killer deals. 250k purchase from Ford to Ram because your sales manager was a douche.
And the funny thing, the guy who drives the work truck is a die hard Ford guy, bought a new Ram 2500 to replace his F250. He really liked the Ram truck. So there was another sale lost.
its a drop in the bucket but at some point, Ford really needs to start cracking dealer heads.
I've traveled hours for a good deal. Haven't bought anything local for years. I'm tired of them thinking that they can take advantage of me.

I hear you. Ridiculous. When they say "you dont want that truck" what they mean is "we cant get this truck"

I'd say that you have great luck then. Not being able to buy one means you don't have one.
If that's not a win I don't know what is.

Local dealer (only 150 miles for me) wanted $18K, between a 5K ADM and not paying a fair value for my trade.

On Monday I'm heading to Utah to pick up a Q5. Yes, it's a 500-mile drive one way, but it saves me $8K.

Oh, the local dealer was eventually willing to take 2.5K off the ADM. Thanks but no thanks.
Especially since my girlfriend has spent quite a bit at that trio (Mercedes/Porsche/Audi) dealership in the past few months.

If you're willing to travel a little, try this place, it's where I got my F-150. Got treated fair, and they didn't bat an eye to give me X-Plan pricing if you have that available to you. They gave me whatever rebates were applicable at the time too. It was worth it to me to hop a plane, do the deal and drive back. The dealers here in Maryland that I was trying to deal with jerked me around pretty well and I took my business elsewhere.

They are near the Chattanooga, TN airport. Let me know if you need a sales contact.

Anyone who pays 50k adm and a well optioned out Raptor R will be at close to $200k. How stupid are ya beyond believable.

Just got the sales contract emailed to me from the Utah dealer.
Not only is there no $5K ADM, but I'm getting 1K off of MSRP. What a difference a dealer can make.

I hear rumor that it works the same for hookers.

I read it on the internet.
