    the ram classic is a very old platform at this point, came out for model year 2009. Basically like buying a new 2009 base model truck. Considering how fucked used values are, I can see the appeal.

    TIL riander5 needs a giant fucking loan. Wolves are at the door.
    Haha I'm not saying I want one, just that if you can produce and sell some old pizza shit that you've optimized production on, might as well keep the good times rolling!

    I've got a buddy who is looking at getting a new F-150 and he said he's having an issue getting a price on from any dealers without putting down a deposit first. He test drove one in Okotoks and the 22 year old sales bro wanted his credit card to go back and get pricing figured. Same story less the test drive for a couple dealers in the city. "Its a high demand vehicle so I can't commit to any pricing without a deposit". Does that seem fucked up to anyone else or is that just the way of the world now?

    I would use a different dealership. There's no shortage of Ford stores.

    Oh he is, as would I. If it was one dealer I would think they were being d-bags but this is 3-4 dealers now so I wasn't sure if thats some sort of fundamental shift in how these crooks are doing business or what

    The best part about their attitudes is they will once again soon be begging for people to come through their doors.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again, once you find a saleperson who will deal with you over email, and who doesn't lie to you, you should use that person. I have one of them at Cam Clark Airdrie if he wants a referral, he can send me name, email, cellphone and I'll set it up. He gets $500 from me if he buys or leases.

    Now if he's really picky about options, and he needs a truck right away, then he has no leverage, and the salesbros are smart enough to know that.

    Always been the same, just people are enabling these behaviors more when money was cheap.

    my buddy just bought an f150 lariat out of edmonton with zero issues. He's had it about 7 or 8 weeks now. He didn't need a deposit to figure out pricing.

    Family member putting in an order for a car they’ve been waiting for the order guide on today and the dealer is requesting $500 up charge on PDI, $600 dealer fee, and $1500 PPF they refuse to sell without. Business as usual for the local shithead dealers it seems.

    sounds like it might be worth it to buy one of those shitbox teslas just to avoid dealers.

    Had this pre-Covid from jag/Land Rover in Edmonton… just wanted a 2-3yr lease but they refused to spec a single car without every single typical finance office up sell, and since those are not capitalized into the value of the overall vehicle, the payments were absolutely ridiculous

    JLR Calgary tried the same thing to the person I mentioned above in October 2020, they were literally willing to pay MSRP plus a $800 dealer fee to order their first vehicle from the brand and they lost the sale due to insane non optional add ons.

    I want to buy a gti but just base model with dsg. I’m willing to wait until times get tough before I go to dealer.
