EV9 Details Revealed, 2023 release

[JerseyGreens]

There are plenty of Kia dealers in the US that will sell at MSRP. Just do a Google search for another similar forum as to this one...telluride forums (cough cough) and you will find them.

Plenty of folks bought their Telluride's at MSRP and I envision with a little homework folks will find EV6s and EV9s without markups as well...

Yah yah yah...we all get that the 'S' in MSRP is for suggested. To the consumer who sees the manufacturer struggle with supply chain issues not of their making and sees the retailer charging significantly above what the manufacturer believes is an appropriate price (so appropriate they put it in their advertising), well, to the consumer, it reeks of gouging...

Bla bla bla.

Dealers are free to set whatever price they want.

Consumers are free to set a limit to what they are willing to pay.

OEMs are free to set and advertise suggested retail prices.

In the US no one is forced to sell a car at a given price nor buy a car at a given price.

Most consumers don't like when the market dictates increasing prices.

Dealers don't like when market dictates big discounts.

Only a year away for delivery and nothing but the concept car? hmm.

Rivian doesn't have an MSRP. Rivian has a MP. There is no wholesale price therefore no different retail price. And it is not suggested.

It is no more greedy for dealers to demand a price over MSRP than it is for customers to demand a discount on MSRP when supply exceeds demand. MSRP is not MMRP. Manufacture's Maximum Retail Price.

When dealers were advertising $5k discount off for various models I didn't see anyone demanding to pay MSRP. Price movements in a free market move on both sides of the trade.

IMHO, if I order a vehicle directly from the manufacturer at an agreed upon price (MSRP), it's pure greed that a dealer, who only serves as an unnecessary middle man because of some archaic state laws requiring their existence, would demand anything over MSRP beforing releasing the vehicle to me.

I can understand if a dealer tries to extract maximum profit after paying the manufacturer for their own inventory of vehicles to sell to the highest bidders.
