And the laws obviously need to change. If other companies can have corporate stores and franchises, auto manufacturers need to as well. That's they only way you'll get dealers back in check.

I've worked with plenty of companies that bought out some of their franchise stores that had terrible reviews so it wouldn't damage the brand. One company, which shall remain nameless, in the last 5 years now owns almost 40% of their retail stores and the rest are franchises.
That's a slippery slope. The manufacturers could tighten up the guidelines that a dealership must adhere to. But they won't.

I worked at a Jeep and Chrysler store years ago and things were much different than they are today. If you didn't maintain a certain customer satisfaction rating your allocation was drastically cut.

I've asked the people at the stores that I've bought our cars at and none has ever heard of that.

I get surveys after each sale or service at my dealership. I'm always asked if there is anything that I was I wasn't completely satisfied with. It seems very important to the salespeople and service writers that I give them all "10's".

4 Times the MSRP. They can think about that next year when they are waiting for the phone to ring like the old Matag man commercial.

I'm sure hoping all you folks who are able to order will get your cars. There seems to always be a pucker factor involved in these types of scenarios. Hoping for the best for all of you. Especially you donut man. We oldies have to stick together.

I don't think paying over msrp is "doing good" at all. Especially for a depreciating asset like an automobile. I've never even paid msrp in my life.

You are very lucky! I am jealous! Here in Florida and surrounding areas, Dodge dealers are money hungry azz wipes. I made about 150 calls and the lowest price was 100K over.

Did you notice, if you had problems with the dealership or shortly thereafter the sale, you did not receive a survey! This has happened to me, as I have purchased numerous cars/trucks over the years. I doubt that I will have that problem with Dodge, in the future, as I'm done with the dirt bags and they can stick their ADM, where the sun don't shine!

I m not sure if they are delivering these like Demon #1 or if they are going to an up fitter like Demon #1
Doesn t seem to be nearly as much hype with 170

I m working a deal at a few K over
Some bagged milk
Case of smarties
Poutine

I may have to toss in some Peameal bacon

When Tim Horton ventured across the border into WNY in the early 80's they struggled for market share for about 10 years...franchised stores were taken over by corporate...it was that bad...from 65 till 85 we had 23 retail donut operations in WNY..we felt we had reached a saturation point...now as of last year Tim Horton operates over 225 locations in the same geographical area...they are in gas stations..hospitals...malls..as well as free standing buildings...
