"National Market Adjustment." A.K.A. weaselly stealership euphemism for price gouging.

Back in the old days, there was a lot of stuff fixed on the farm with corn flakes cardboard. We even had a tiny ball pien hammer for tapping the holes out. Its a pretty useful skill for emergencies.

Is the term "National Market Adjustment" not the same as declaring "price fixing"? Last I heard that was a crime. Being stupid enough to pay that dealer markup would also be a crime.

From what I've read, its perfectly legal to bump the price, but it has to be posted just like that. Free market, man. If somebody is so impatient that they just have to have that particular car on that particular day...

Once I'm benevolent dictator of the universe I will make it illegal to price gouge new cars. MSRP is the max price. If a Stealership is caught doing it they have to give the car away for free

Our local BMW dealer was charging $100k over list for the I8. I'm not sure any car is worth that.

It is declaring it as a "National" price fix. Gauging is fine, but collusion to fix prices is not. Something about free-markets and other childhood fantasies that we were brought up on.
