With that said you pay way more over "invoice" for computers, clothes, furniture, houses, etc.
I'm the type of people that if I want it I buy it. If you're willing to pay msrp and I want it so bad that I'll pay more, well then I'm gonna pay more. Why, because it's worth it to me.

I understand supply and demand (talking about vehicles here nothing else) but when a vehicle is going to be made year after year, then there is no reason to pay this stupid "market adjustment" price. Even at all for any vehicle.
Dealers mark up the price when a new "special" vehicle comes in. Even though it's going to be made for years to come or that the dealer down the road is selling it at MSRP or lower.
Paying more for something that is generally going to lower in price is stupid. I can wait to have something at the price it's suggested to sale for or buy it used for half the price it was worth a couple of years ago.
If you've got money to throw at a car and want to, more than likely, lose that money once you do sell it. Then go ahead.
But just because a car is selling at MSRP isn't going to make the used market prices sky rocket.
To think of it, look at Australia. I think they regulate the prices of new cars.
