Ford Parts Dept. Markups
#43
You just did make an unnecessary personal attack! Don't you read your own posts! Duh!
I'm not interested in going on & on with this because one can never win with some people on this forum! They just want to argue & then blame others for the argument!
I did not say "EVERY" Ford dealer rips off customers with markups! I said the ones I have gone to do did! I will end my comments by telling you honestly I got "retail prices" from my local Ford Dealer for two items: The wheels on a 2015 50th Anniversary Mustang & the smallest Ecoboost Emblem made on a Ford vehicle. The price on the wheels compared to the cost online for the same wheel was approximately 350% more not even considering the lower wholesale price I assume the Ford payed compared to my one time purchase online. The wheels were priced at over $1000. per wheel without stems or pressure sensors! I questioned the price & they double checked it! The Ecoboost emblem was priced at over $70 & tax ($74. I believe). I bought the emblem "new" online for $12. delivered! That's all I'm saying! Believe it or not! I wouldn't give you specifics if I was B.S.ing. Maybe some dealers are more reasonable. Think what you want, because I don't need your approval! I don't accuse other people of lying "online" or give people the finger from my moving car! It's a classless thing to do! A person with class would ask for more information if something doesn't make sense to them! Many on this forum just call people liars! Being an "Old Guy", in my day you lost teeth doing that in person, but I guess over the internet... that's now done! I'm gone!

Mr D, you're comparing apples to everything but, apples. The products that you are finding on Ebay are not usually the same part that you get from a dealer. I have a feeling the wheels you are finding are refurbished, aftermarket, used, scratched or damaged parts not OE. Usually they also have no "Warranty", wholesale customers will buy parts from a dealer for a discount of 20-35% off list. You are unable to admit that you were wrong and have not provided proof of any of your claims. It would be nice for you to acknowledge your error, but I have a feeling it won't be coming any time soon.
