[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having just looked at cars, $39K for a new Hybrid Sienna is too low.  We have up on the idea of a new hybrid because the prices + the dealer markups.  We bought a several year old car no hybrid hoping we will trade up eventually.  [/quote]

Probably bait & switch. This happened to me recently. I thought I finally found a dealer not doing insane markups on MSRP and went in for a test drive. Loved the vehicle and got the ball rolling to make a purchase. The first words out of the sales guy's mouth were: I'm going to be honest with you, because of supply issues, we do have a slight markup on this vehicle, so $45,500 is the price before taxes, title, and fees.

Uh, no, you were not being honest. Even when I told you my price point of under $40k, you said nothing. Waiting until I'm ready to start the purchase is not being honest. I laughed at him and walked out. Fk that nonsense. I went to the dealer 1 mile from my house and bought the same car WITH the markup prominently displayed. The only reason why I went to the first dealership was because their prices online were only $500 over MSRP! Bait & switch. Shady, shady.  [/quote]
