True but it did hurt me and put others out of business. So while I do somewhat agree it still left people like me in a bad place. Sorry for the rant but that is also now the reason I hate seeing price gougers taking more of my hard earned money that they already stole from me.
I wish that it didn’t happen but since it did I’m just trying to find the best angle.

What about the price of popcorn at the theaters? Talk about a buttery rape job.:(
At least the popcorn comes with some
Lube.

Guess what I'm saying is the problem ain't in Houston.

We don't have a problem in Texas.

Not in the USA.

We don't have a problem with socialism, oligarchs, warlords, or Frenchies.

We don't have a religion problem.

And bailouts, though a symptom, aren't a cure for what ails us.

What we got here folks is a world where we have plenty for all.

Truly, we have plenty. Believe it. Know it. We have more than enough of everything for everyone.

But we lower ourselves to the belief that some should have while others should have not.

Jeep's selling above invoice in a foreign country should bother us as much... it won't. We won't care at all if somebody else pays.

All too often we think not of elevating our gaze above the horizon, rather we glare down at our feet.

It's Easter season, maybe we can lift up our eyes on some better ways ahead.

Wait a second. I just got an email on a sale for plywood! Holy gong show, I better get there before it's too late!!!

Just got this email from a semi-local dealer.... in response to me asking when / what vehicles they are getting. Good news is they are getting them "any day".....

"We are suppose to get about 12 of the launch vehicles. Showing 2 Billet Silver and the White one.
We are taking deposit on the them. We are also selling them 5k Over sticker as most dealers are selling them 10k over. Let me know if you would like to come in and further discuss."
While I'm sure I have pushed the envelope a few times with my vocabulary, using the word raped in the title of the thread my be somewhat offensive to somebody who has or somebody who has had somebody close to them actually raped in the truest sense.

Could you change the title to cheated/slighted/taken advantage of.. Ect, as I'm assuming any of those versions are probably more accurate to your intended meaning?

He clearly wanted it to attract attention. Who doesn't click on the post with a rape threat in the headline? Guy should be running a cable news channel.

The funny thing is the analogy is far off. It's not like the dealer is cornering him in a parking garage and physically/sexually acausting him and forcing him to buy at a marked up price above msrp.

It's been covered many times now, how to easily get 6-12% off msrp.

Anybody that's researched ordering for a second on this forum isn't being raped if they buy at msrp. It's not rape when you ask for it, thats masochism.

To me the price doesn’t piss me off it’s the fact they think I’m an idiot that pisses me off . Do they think we dont have the internet ? Or do they think we cannot read ?

they think that 80% of people don't like to haggle, or just want to buy it on the spot. Its not that they think @lucky7t is an idiot, its that they know other people are idiots.....unfortunately myself included.

I was part of a Pacifica forum for like 6 months, NEVER read ANYTHING about FCA affiliate discount, so guess who "negotiated 2% below MSRP" and felt good about it? This idiot! UGH. I then started reading about all the FCA affiliate stuff on this forum about 2 months after I already signed on the dotted line.

My point, is that anybody that's reading this thread shouldn't get "raped" by a dealer, because they should know better. If they don't want to fly to NC or ID to save thousands because its less convenient, that's their choice. At least they can Ben Franklin T-Chart that shit. Nobody ever discussed that on the Pacifica forum, so I fell into the idiot trap.

As somebody pointed out here, "live and learn, move on and don't touch the stove again Timmy!". lol :facepalm::headbang::computerrage:
