I believe it is something that goes in your back end when the dealer has you bent over.

You guys are paying for that?

That’s some funny chit right there. Thanks for the laughs.

Some use that to describe a lift.
Have you SEEN it? Is it lifted? Or are you dealing over the internet?

If it’s anything like some of the dealers around my area. They throw a spacer lift on and try to charge an outrageous price for it. The mopar lift wouldn’t be so bad but doing a spacer lift and charging like it’s some kind of great upgrade is ridiculous.

It's sometimes used to describe post-production added factory options.

Uplift = free margin $$$$$ for the dealer at your expense.

I've heard "up fitted" but never uplifted.

I've heard "up fitted" but never uplifted.

Sometimes they decide mid-run to eliminate lower costs options, for various reasons.

Say they decided, no more cloth, only leather, every in que vehicle would get "uplifted" to the new standard, and all the associated piece prices would have to change.

You're a dealer aren't you?

it blows my mind at how disconnected dealers are from the user groups. What's the point of using a term like uplift when they could have just called it a lift kit....oh wait, to intentionally cause confusion and try to sneak extras past a unwary buyer.....
