Toyota won't be able to prevent dealers from ADM. Call places and find one that says no ADM, put a deposit down, and hope. Anything else is 🤷
This.Look at Nissan z markups and z06 markups. It’s going to happen unless you’re willing to sacrifice your place in line to hold out for msrp or find a dealer that agrees to msrp right away
There are people in here that openly admit they'll pay whatever it takes to get the car. 😂Then they'll simply rot on dealer lots. Only people that will buy a $20-30k marked up Corolla will be a desperate YouTube reviewer or a multimillionaire to whom money doesn't matter.
I'll immediately back out and start looking into European brands.
Yeah they just make you pay more AFTER you buy the car. Want more range? We accept Mastercard and Visa.Honestly these dealerships have ruined a lot of these fun cars for me. First it was the FK8 markups, now with the GRC certainly next in line for crazy markups it’s tempting me to say screw it and buy a Tesla Model 3 Performance.
I want a car, not an app.Yeah they just make you pay more AFTER you buy the car. Want more range? We accept Mastercard and Visa.
Meh I’m only interested in chasing times during autocross and time trials, street driving does nothing for me anymore.Yeah they just make you pay more AFTER you buy the car. Want more range? We accept Mastercard and Visa.
I like the shoe reference because it’s true. People are so infatuated with having something new first, they’ll act crazy just to have it. As much as they say “I don’t care what people think” they do. LolTo be realistic... that answer comes down to each individual.
Mark-ups WILL happen. The few MSRP dealership already (or will have) a long list of buyers already in line. So, their wait periods will be much longer. And with a production run for a few years, it's more than possible to get pushed so far down the line, that you could wait 2-3 years and miss it altogether.
I've seen minivans marked up $10K... a non-special minivan. Trucks, cars, etc. Everything.
The main thing to do is be able to separate yourself from a want. We all want the car. I personally though am not a person that can be pushed past his threshold for what he wants... I simply will let it go. I LOVE sneakers... I never pay to resell. If I miss a pair, that's it, I'm not paying triple on StockX.
There is an amount I am willing to play with or except for an added price, which most likely gets tossed under Dealer Add-Ons. However, $10,000 is an absolute... NO. I will simply hang up the idea of a GR Corolla and go get another car I like and move on. Even $5,000 is heavily pushing it. The only way I would allow that amount depends on if it's a dealer add-on I could possibly find some value to the car (i.e. tint, film protection, ceramic. etc.). But, just a cool $5-$10K added on top, just because they are still touting "chip shortages"?
I'm good. Nice car, but I will sleep perfectly fine at night leaving that car on the lot if pricing becomes stupid.
there should be plenty of WRXs avaliable 😄I won't!

Funny enough I already see some people getting WRX's after giving up on the GRC and CTR. lol. Regardless of the looks its still a bargain for all those who claim that they NEED AWD. 😂there should be plenty of WRXs avaliable 😄
I have an 8-year old accord that still looks and runs like new, so I’m sitting pretty with this as a want. I’m In the same boat as Mr. Biggs - I don’t need a car right now. They’ll lose me at “…and then the ADM….”. My local dealer usually does the extra floor mats, etc, but has never done ADM.Funny enough I already see some people getting WRX's after giving up on the GRC and CTR. lol.
