The consumer wins in about 90% of these type of cases because the court always assumes, as a professional, that you know better, and you took advantage of an uneducated consumer.
I don't have a background in the legal system, however, I think you would be hard pressed to prove that the consumer that's writing a $200,000 check wasn't educated.
The customer is complicit with the process and their signature would definitely be on the separate document indicating there would be an additional payment or ADM to cover the difference from the MSRP.

And that they were specifically motivated to do so.

We're in real estate and your contracts better be 100% clear and clean. No matter what, the courts almost always sides with the consumer whether it's $5K or $5 million.

Exactly, I most likely, given the chance to pay a small ADM would be guilty, as well.

In this scenario, however, there's a collusion between the customer and the dealer. It's not a one-sided affair. Essentially, there's two guilty parties.

If it's spelled out in the contract, it's clear and clean. Having 2 different prices is the clincher. What is the REAL price?

Dodge is the one being duped, not the consumer.

It would then be against the manufacturer if they wanted to press the point.

Unless the consumer cried that they were duped.

Exactly. Otherwise, when the judge asks you if that is your signature on the addendum for 100k, you have to say yes. The next question will be, why did you sign it? Your honor, I really wanted my demon 170, really really bad. I didn't want to go to the end of the line lol
Being that the judge is a Mopar fan as well, they may very well decide that you're going to get your demon for MSRP and lifetime oil changes.

They might get it for MSRP, who knows?

My favorite Demon color combo. There was a solid yellow one next to us at the track. They look great in that color!
When I saw the Pennzoil Demon commercial filmed in Pittsburg...that was it...had to have that color combo...

This is why I thought the msrp would be in the $150K range figured Dodge would want in on some of this cash. Must be some reason it wasn't priced accordingly.

That color is hard to beat when the sun is shining on it. It really pops.

I still say..MSRP...represents a bargain relative to new RE/JB/HC's

That's true of most of Dodge's high impact colors.

Amazing in the sun, dreary when it's overcast.

B5 Blue in particular
