Part of the issue is dealers have fewer cars available to sell while a lot of their costs are fixed. Net, they have to spread their total sales dollars/ profit over fewer cars; i.e., higher price/car.Don't know if I've ever heard of dealers selling new cars for over the sticker price.
Tells me Biden isn't running his own show.Have you noticed that when Biden gives a speech he most often says something either stupid or dangerous and the White House staff has to come out and correct it "for the record".
This has to drive liberals and policy makers cringe in fear of what is coming out of his mouth next. He is a total disaster and there is no way he will be allowed to run for re-election.
It's not his fund. He's one of three administrators. The investments are selected by specialists.Such a patriotic investment.
Oh god no, the walls must be closing in on drumpf!!!Maybe this ruling will put enough pressure on Garland and NY AG to finally prosecute the Fat Cheeto.
“Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,”
You’ve got him now James! This judge in California has the goods.
You may keep your Chinese-made crap.who ever said Nike had a moral compass? they have a money compass and it works pretty damn good. They made 4billion in profit last year, don't think they give 2 shits about you broke ass forum warriors.
Gotdamn need some more sausage Brianna??
I bought a 2022 Ford Maverick a little over a week and a half ago. They are very popular small tucks and are very difficult to find one available for sale. I was working Cars.com looking for one in a 250 mile radius. Ford stopped taking orders for the 2022 model year back in February. If you didn't order one, the only way to get one is when a customer decides for whatever reason they don't want it when it arrives at the dealer - which is how I was able to get mine.Don't know if I've ever heard of dealers selling new cars for over the sticker price.
Happening everywhere right now, even here in Lex.
There was a Lexington area Ford dealer that had a Maverick in my preferred color, but they were selling it for $10K over sticker. Plus, I was going to have to pay an extra $1000 for paying in cash. To top it off, they were adding "paint protection" and several other gimmicks I didn't want for ax extra $1200. The salesman told me over the phone that this was pretty much a non-negotiable deal. I'm glad he was up front about it before I drive 200+ miles to the dealership.I heard same. Dude bought a Ford truck for $70000 that was sticker priced at $54000.
My truck was 27 years old with over 353,000 miles and was in pretty bad shape. I briefly looked at used trucks but 2018/2019 Rangers were selling for $35,000! So I decided to put in the work and try to get a Maverick. I found my Maverick at a dealership up in Indy. They wanted $10K over MSRP, and even had a supplementary sticker stating "Market Demand" with the $10,000 written on it. I also test drive a new Ranger, and for that one they wanted $2,000 over sticker.What seems to be happening now is there's no inventory, no one to compete and it's a "Take it or leave it" sticker price. There's no negotiating anymore so there's less units but buyers are getting their heads torn off in these deals and that's new cars. You make more money in used car sales since they will not take losing deals so I can't even imagine what those are going for now and what the markup is.
Right now has to be the worst time in the internet era to be buying a car.
One of my nephews bought/ordered a new Ford Bronco (think that's the model...Ford has just now started that model back up I think) probably 8 or 9 months ago. Still waiting.Ford stopped taking orders for the 2022 model year back in February.

Ford makes the Bronco Sport in the same factory as the Maverick down in Mexico, and I believe the Bronco has the same supply issues (computer chips, etc.). It's simply not a good time to be in the market for a vehicle.One of my nephews bought/ordered a new Ford Bronco (think that's the model...Ford has just now started that model back up I think) probably 8 or 9 months ago.

Same ole same ole from the globalists.This should help. Guess old Xi got something in exchange for not helping his buddy Putin.
Joe Biden Eliminates U.S. Tariffs on More than 350 China-Made Products
President Joe Biden's administration has eliminated United States tariffs on more than 350 products made in China.www.breitbart.com
Just say'in.
GOP signatories included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as well as Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Ken Buck (R-CO), Young Kim (R-CA), and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH).
That's the problem with a lot of voters nowadays, they don't vote with their head. They see a letter beside someone's name and let that decide who they're voting for.I am afraid you are right. I talk to people around me and we think no way this man and his political party survive this disaster of a regime. Then I come on a UK message board and see one looney post after another supporting everything he does. There are people who will vote for him again if given the chance
Amazing.
Not familiar with some of the names....but am disappointed in Owens in Utah. Thought he was a rock solid conservative.This should help. Guess old Xi got something in exchange for not helping his buddy Putin.

I'll take "Next year's recession for $500, Alex"Basically, in summary, unless you really need a new vehicle, do what you can to keep your current vehicle in good working order, and wait for prices to come down, whenever that might be(?).
You know.... The immoral entertainment industry hates it customers like no other.
FOUR SHOTS in a year for a virus you still get and spread and a shot you have no clue of the repercussions it's doing to your heart and body!

Biden or the dweeb?Who was that dweeb that just asked Biden if he thought questions about light sentences on child porn and the definition of a woman were fair questions?
I'd like to punch that guy in the face.
Republicans have held the legislature or the WH for most of that spending. We were never energy independent, complete bullshit line. That imaginary, "independence", brief moment of net export was ruined by Trump not Biden. When we go back to net export later this year we still wont be independent. you can't import 40% of oil use and use that word. Oil is global, everything impacts prices. They only way it doesn't is if you nationalize the industry and control pricing with legislation.
We don't have a free market. We have a market that protects corporate profits at all costs and subsidizes corporate losses at any cost to tax payers. Thanks mostly to Republicans.
oil is down to $95 today which is equal to $2.75 gas. lets see how long it takes to for gas to fall with it to under $3.
The left's messaging is pure lunacy and a constant contradiction yet their base never questions it.Clay and Buck just had Riley Gaines on, she's a UK Wildcats swimmer. She beat Lia Thomas in a race but then lost to him last time. She is very disturbed about this situation and said the NCAA is forcing them to shower in the same locker rooms.
That is the sad and insane thing about lefties. They never question anything. If a Democrat says it they believe it and they do it.The left's messaging is pure lunacy and a constant contradiction yet their base never questions it.
"BELIEVE ALL WOMEN"
"Well, not all women!"
"If you're not a woman, you don't get a say on abortion"
"Trans women are women"
"The future is female!"
"Anyone can be female"
"Women sports are just as important as men's sports" proceeds to have men play their sports
"Women are paid less than men because of the patriarchy"
"Broke men are hurting women's marriage prospects"
"Defund the police! Cops are racist killers!"
"We need gun control. Only cops should have these weapons...and Ukrainian citizens."
"Whitey is evil! Diversity is strength" "We should be more like these white countries!"
"Love has no borders!" "SHOW US YOUR PROOF OF VACCINE TO WORK OR EAT!"
"SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER"
"Unless it's a Democrat then get on your knees to worship and cradle their balls"
This list could be a mile long especially with their views on nationalism, meritocracy, "diversity", race, just literally everything.
One of (of many) the things I hated about the Clinton years is that a lie turned into 'spin'.
You mean like the “fine people” hoax or “Jan 6th” with the left? The fact you people downplay the significance of the laptop and what all it reveals is pretty frightening and telling As to what levels of corruption you all will allow your side to get away with to obtain power. And this is corruption that is verifiable and factual, not made up hoax corruption that you all want to pin Trump with.I am 100% convinced that if an emergency warning broadcast came over the airwaves alerting everyone to duck and cover for an inbound nuclear strike that somewhere a Republican would say "WHAT ABOUT HUNTER'S LAPTOP?"
They always have to have some simple nursery rhyme like "BENGAZI" word to obsess on. It never, of course, is anything nuanced. They just want a word or two that they can hone in on and trigger themselves with. It's like a hypnotist snapping their finger. OK, when I say "hunter's laptop" you will become a poodle, and you'll bark at anything you see... ok...1...2...3...
