Think we've got it bad, try buying in-demand cars in US

[JonChalk]

No wonder Tesla keeps selling loads of cars, US dealerships happy to wind on massive increases over RRPs, on anything vaguely in demand, not just Porsches...

Dealer markup protected by law - several states have historically ruled that it is illegal for manufacturers to supply to customers and undercut dealers....

...also dealers don't have to declare their markups on adverts - it is usual for those only to be declared when you actually contact the dealer to be given the bad news in person.

Have fun trying to get a discount!
