Who pays sticker? :)

BTW, I was recently helping a relative shop for a car... We got a BRAND NEW loss-leader Ford Focus for just under $10k. A similarly equipped Toyota Corolla was $14000, and the Civic was about $16500.

Anyway, I haven't bought another Ford since the boycott started. But that's just because the one I have keeps going and going and going.......

Assuming a similar markup and similar deduction from haggling, the sticker serves as the starting point.

Nonetheless, I did not buy the Ford, and I am still shopping. I will not buy the Ford because of the boycott.

Additionally, I'll continue to point out either their price problems or the gay problem or both....depending on what will make the person I'm conversing with less likely to buy their product.

One small way to support a boycott. Nothing like a whispering campaign.

You got what you paid for.
