Lightning Dealer Markups

[JJ_Tex]

When I bought my F150 a few months ago, inventory was low and I saw several dealers with $5k markups above sticker. I noped out of there when I saw those, but I'm sure some fools paid it just like they will do with the Lightning.

It's a joke on customers and the rookie.

Re-looked at label, what is “windshield treatment” $895?

I was thinking it’s a detailer applied product like GlassParency which is similar to Rain-X and Aquapel but supposed to be longer lasting and carries a warranty.

I have to think this kind of thing is going to bite them in the ass in the long run.

Watch the dealership markups push the price above the cost limits of EV rebates and end up double hiking the price.
