robbery is when you don't have a choice. This is just free market. Canadian Z06s are going for $100,000 on top of out the door price (MSRP+ Lux Tax+ Sales tax).
Not paying 65K over to a salesman who can't spell "Arctic White"...
Good catch...............but he could use the extra moola to get into the next spelling championship against 10 year olds.
Help the guy out..................LAMO!!!

Good thing there isn't a Acronym Championship for 10 Y/O's. LMAO...
My liquor consumption this holiday is kicking in......... and my typing sucks ATM.
Everyone needs a down day, at the moment lol...
So true ... but when they know they have something good that people are salivating over .... they know how to manipulate that " free market "
Kinda like the current real estate market
Some call that free market supply and demand pricing.
I call it robbery.
I call it robbery.
Market value has always been, and will always be, the price a willing buyer and a willing seller agree on.
Or should the guberment step in and regulate. Especially if it is a robbery.

If you are a buyer nobody is twisting your arm to pay these prices. Wait and hope the prices drop back down to what you like OR go in there with the cash and NEGOTIATE.
The old saying applies........................money talks BS walks.
Those 3 cars are US cars it looks like from the phone # listed.

That’s exactly what they did with the Lux tax, they regulated the prices up.
If you are an AB resident this car is available with an almost CAN$50k markup, better than the US markups.
Hate to break it to most of you but government doesn't regulate what cars or most other things are sold at. I don't agree on the Luxury tax and if I don't want to pay it I don't buy a car that's over $100k or more. The people that are looking at cars that price range if they want the car a little bit more tax ain't going to make or break that purchase and in that price range for most people it's a non issue. If it's an issue for you a $100k+ car is probably not a smart purchase at this time with financial things the way they are.

Lol but no. The luxury tax is social engineering designed to change spending habits and provide additional tax revenues with minimal opposition from the masses. Most voters (to their peril) don’t give a rat’s behind about a tax charged to a “rich guy”. Hence the reason it is called a “luxury“ tax.
The salesman doesn't actually get paid commission on the overage they charge. Most dealers that I have worked for will give the salesman a "flat" commission so that way the dealers make all the money not the sales guy.
