[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 177293, member: 5304"] I know there's dealers out there saying "MSRP" and my hat's off to any of them that actually do that. But, I'll be surprised if even the base model rolls off any lot for less than 90-100G Cdn. Taxes, fees, mark up, etc. I'll bet that very very few go for the 65-ish grand that's being thrown around in the media. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, although history seems to indicate I won't be. I honestly don't blame dealers for stupid mark ups. Like any other consumer, I don't like it. But I can't blame them for charging as much as people will pay for a product. It's a business and they're out there trying to make as much profit as they can. It's the goal of every business to make as much profit as they can, so when they have a hot product they charge for it until the market lets them know they are charging too much by not buying them or sales slowing so much that something is obviously wrong with their pricing. Case in point was the ZR1 C4. It was a 30G premium over a "regular" C4 when it was released and after mark ups (and other things like "fees", taxes, etc) had most of them rolling out the door closer to 100 G. And yet: people were still buying them at that stupid price......same as the cabbage patch kid "craze" when it was on, beanie babies, the "tickle me elmo xmas rush" that one year or any other product that people seem to go stupid/rabid over. At the end of the day, I'm not looking to by a C8 so I really don't have a horse in this race. But it will be interesting to see what people start posting up as their final price once they hit the dealer lot asphalt..... [/QUOTE]
