While many of you are griping about "Market Adjustments" or any other term to describe dealers selling cars for over MSRP, I haven't heard any of you insisting that dealers should have to stick to MSRP and not sell for less (including those of you giving opinions on what's best for DCX: 8>6...). I still don't understand why any or all of you consider this "Price Gouging". And, as staed previously, we are all able to wait or travel (or both) to get the car we want at the price we want, or not buy at all.
The term "Price Gouging" IMO is appropriate when used to describe merchants taking advantage of peole in times of disaster (Katrina...) for basic necessities (food, water, fuel, tp....) when the consumer really cannot do without or travel to get the items elsewhere. Under those conditions I believe it is appropriate for the government to intervene. When describing the pricing strategies of dealers I don't think the term is appropriate.

Sorry DanRealtor, you are totally wrong on this particular car....Why you ask , well if you'll take the time to carefully read my other posts on this forum site about all my recent experiences in trying to order, place a deposit and or buy one of these Challengers you will see. Its price gouging because most all of these dealers are playing games with the orders and not obeying the manufactures rules of placing orders with real customers names and addresses. Instead they use ficticious names and addresses to order them in and then sell them off to the highest bidder on a list of really dumb customers that have put large deposits down just to be on their list. This proves to me that its NOT the law of " supply and demand" but the law of " the dealers controlling the supply thus greating the need to pay a price gouging price" based on the demand that lots of us would like to buy the car but can't because these greedy gealers are holding all the cards. Buy the way if you really care E-mail me and I can supply you with all the info you need to prove my point, IE 2 months research of contacting 37 dealers in both rich and poor areas with all of them doing the same tactics. You tell me? What else do you call these tactics or what else copuld it be????
