What is 22MY?
Dealers do this in metro/large market areas all the time to try and capture non local business. They attract customers with a discount no dealer can match by taking out the destination then in the fine print they add a disclaimer price does not include tax tags and destination. Unfortunately customers tend to not read disclaimers online. Working for a dealership myself I am always telling customers to try to buy from your local dealer first. Dealers all own the vehicles for the same price if the deal you think your getting is too good to be true it probably is.I almost bought a Gladiator today. Found nearly the exact Willys build I've been looking for a 7 hour drive away. Price seemed too good to be true and was. But it wasn't the typical pricing where you realize unless you are a handicapped military veteran who just graduated college and are a part-time firefighter you don't qualify. This one was a trick in the destination fee. It's in the MSRP, but the dealership pulled it out and then added it back at the end when I asked for hard numbers. It also mysteriously went up $1000 when quoted from their advertised price.
The price is still very fair, I just don't care for the business practice of advertising a discounted price and then padding it on the backside. To be perfectly honest, if this was on a lot in my town I'd have bought it anyway but it was enough of a difference to not take a 14 hour road trip plus time at the dealership.

The original video had a used large SUV like a Tahoe. That same dealer had the quote at over $80K out the door. I would run from them as fast as possible.
Yeah: don't drive over at all. Fcuk those unscrupulous jagovvs. Another Gladiator will be available tomorrow.
Straight up let them know "no deal." You can get that same truck spec'ed out for 5-6% below invoice (which is already more than 2k below MSRP) if you're willing to travel. That's flat out shady, the incentives are meant to incentivize buying. This dealer is taking that away from you. I would absolutely walk and got angry just reading your post.
Same here.....sick and tired of these db dealerships: trying to slip in shoddy work on the service side....and these goddamn grifters in finance.
Did you join tread lightly for the 1% under invoice price? That could be your new starting point and then ask for the 2k incentive from there?
That's still acquiescence to the dealer's crooked finance department. This is just more bs hoops that were not there before, when the truck was ordered. Buyer beware.
