Ivy League lawyer was the first clue.

There may be a few good apples that still drop from that tree, but most are rotten straight through.

What does this mean for the cash buyer?

Cash buyers will pay more.

I have purchased too many new vehicles in my lifetime and one of the first things they ask is whether you are financing or paying cash. The dealers have sweetheart deals with banks and financial institutions that get them kickbacks for steering loans. If you pay cash they will know to negotiate higher sales prices to ensure they get the profit. If you say it is none of their business or hedge your answer they will not negotiate the lowest price.

Google controls people's perception of reality through its biased search results.

I have been trying to search for some writings of Winston Churchill regarding Africa and cannot find any quotes or links to those writings. I can't find any books with the compilations either as those writings were not flattering and the Left wants them buried.

“manufacturers will Mark it up as much as they want”

Maybe, maybe not. They’ll have to depend on all the other manufacturers deciding to follow the same strategy. If one or two do not, then they’ll only hurt themselves by trying it.

So RD is aligning with the auto industry big business to screw the people? I may be reading it wrong, but that’s how I’m reading it.

Now that he’s seeing his polling at around 20% or less, he’s free to go ahead and show his true colors?

The first time I was quoted a dealer markup is the last time I looked for a new car. That was in 2009.

Republicans are experts at picking issues to knife themselves in the back.

All the Democrats have to do is sit back and laugh.

Freedom declines. Political donations are made, and payback is seen. Freedom declines, and more political donations are made, and payback is seen some more. This is one of the ways how “it” happens.

This is dissappointing, considering that FL is notorious for having the most ridiculous bs fees from new and used dealerships. Poor regulation by the state.

Ron DeTurkey is in bed with lobbyists. From great conservative governor to Business-As-Usual for Presidential Dollars. Next stop: the Just Barely Human Club, where most politicians are located.

Our country is mired in corruption up to an eagle’s eye.

Used cars and politicians just go together. But when you bought one, the SOB used to stay bought!

You're reading too much agitprop. Given the brainless and rabid DeSantis hatred that is currently dragging this forum down in the DU-level slime, that's not surprising.

Bear in mind that many of these 'journalists' whose 'articles' these DeSantis-derangement syndrome sufferers are posting would also like to see Desantis dead.

It's one huge stinking negative-feedback loop. Don't buy it.
