[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 16368373, member: 138337"] It's a mess. Instead of manufacturers trying to fix it by keeping costs lower, they're extending terms and giving more rebates. I've argued that instead of rebates, they should just average the sale price and lower the MSRP to that. For instance, if Ford averaged $5,500 in rebates all year on [U][b]sold[/b][/U] trucks, then they should lower the MSRP by $5,500. The reason they [U][b]WONT'T[/b][/U] do that though, is they like to control sales. If the end of the year is coming up and Ford is trying to hit a certain quota, they will pump up the rebates to move the vehicles to hit the quota. If they already have a lower price, it'll actually 'cost' them money to lower the price, instead of just taking it out of their fake account (rebates). Eh, 72 month loan at 4% is like $1,060 or something. I sell a lot of Super Duties and the people leave with a $1,200-1,500 payment for 72 months. [/QUOTE]
