They have great inventory but try buying one of their cars at those prices. They are one of those dealers that advertise a price that only those in the Realtors of America association who are also Astronauts that recently graduated qualify for. And they have $1500 Dealer Doc fees and $595 prep fees.
Even with their fee's, they must be beating the competition, that inventory has to turn.

My own thought is that if you halfway have your shit together and walk into this dealership wanting a Challenger, you are gonna drive out in the exact challenger you want at a fair price to both. The dealership doesn't get bonus points for looking at a lot of unsold inventory.
Could you imagine walking onto a lot with every color and trim of eco, GT and GT500 !?! My local Ford dealer currently has ZERO mustangs on the lot.
Predatory volume dealer. So big now they can command a healthy amount of factory production, then use it to maximize profits if they have lots of color and builds.
Then you have Brandon Ford in Tampa battling with Galpin Ford in LA for undisputed #1 volume Ford dealer in the world. Everyone wins in that scenario.
The BS dealer doc and processing fees make my head spin. Overhead is overhead . . . it's just a way to bury some of it in the fine print and away from the advertised price. And dealers are increasing those fees more and more.
It gets particularly shady when the advertised price has pulled out the destination fee that is already on the window sticker, only to add it back in the fine print.
Bah, anyone with a clue knows how they roll and everyone and their mother gets trained to only look at the out the door price. The people that get the best deals are the ones that stay relentlessly polite and focused on why they are there. If the dealer stays polite and keeps the transaction enjoyable, the deal is there to be found.
Even if a guy went in stone cold not knowing anything about how these guys operate, it wouldn't matter if you stay calm and negotiate. The bottom line is that there is NO DEAL unless the customer says there is.
If "everyone" knew it, they wouldn't do it. It's a bait and switch routine, plain and simple. Doesn't matter if some of us can see through it.
I would imagine they are the #1 Challenger dealer in the country, if they made purchasing from them unpleasant and expensive, they wouldn't be, it's that simple.
I don't necessarily agree with that.
