any suggestions? |
Suggestion. Quit wasting energy and time fuming about something you have utterly no power over. Corporations (and your dealership surely is one), or individuals can charge whatever they want for a product. Your only choice is whether or not to buy from them.
Sometimes "the market" works, sometimes it doesn't. In this case, for you, it doesn't, likely because they have no competition other than online. It's a well known thing in economics, the term is "market failure". There are others. It's why we have Public Utilities Commissions.
