I've been shopping for the new Escalade. Dealers want 5-25k over sticker. I'm not paying a dollar over sticker.

That’s a Dodge Ram TRX. Pretty rare actually. I don’t mean to defend the dealership but it’s a simple supply vs. demand. Just like some of you guys are willing to sell your RCF if ‘price is right’, dealership is too taking the advantage of current situation. Honestly i don’t see any issues with it. If someone wants it and have means to pay for ‘market adjustment’ kudos to them.

Sign of the times, there was a time when nobody would ever pay sticker. Now sticker is a deal.

yeah, 6.2l supercharged hemi (hellcat) will attract a certain buyer that will pay it for sure but the quality issues are coming in big time as usual with the brand. the 2022 tundra tt v6 coming out later this year won't compete with it hp or torque wise but will be an interesting gen3 release for the 1/2 ton market. unfort it looks like a chevy if you haven't seen it yet.

Mopar dealers have been doing this for a long time. I remember seeing Gen 3 Vipers (Mambas, Commemorative editions, VOI editions) marked up at least that much and as far as Vipers go none of them were that rare. Same with their early SRTs (Challys, Chargers and 300s), then Hellcats, etc. - their dealers were looking to make a killing on them too. Just one of the reasons why I walked away from Mopars after having been a lifelong customer.

I wonder if any of the markup goes into the salespersons pocket or do they get standard commission?

baboya96

I’d think standard Commissioing rate but at higher sales price, they too get a piece of market adjustment I’d think. I’m more curious how they determine this ‘market adjustment’ value…

They sit in a room and say "Let's see what we can get for it".

Try Vroom, they are few thousand higher than carmax. I have 2016 civic, offered 17K by carmax but ended selling to Vroom for 19K. Now this 19K will go towards my next RC F.. SOON

Just purchased a loaded 2020 RCF (not the Fuji/Track Edition) with 2800 miles on it for just over 71K. We'll see where it goes from here and if the chip shortage worsens

Sounds to me like a good buy in today's market. What color did you get and what options does it come with?
Also, does anyone have the red color on his RC F? If so can you describe it. Why is it considered a special paint? Thanks

Got it in Ultra White, standard color.

Has pretty much everything aside from the Carbon Package:

• Circuit Red / Black NuLuxe with Silver Fiber
• Premium Package w/ Park Assist
• Nav + Mark Levinson
• All-Weather Package
• Triple-Beam HL
• Orange Brembos
• Power Moonroof
• 19-in BBS Wheels
• TVD
• Other silly accessories

MSRP when new was 82-something I believe.

I've also seen the Infrared. It's a very interesting color. In most situations it's a very vivid deep red, almost candy-like. In direct sunlight you get a little hint of red-orange, but in complete shade it looks maroon. You can really see the sparkle and metallic-ness. It's more on the side of red-orange than it is burgundy, but it also stays a deep red. Very hard to explain and pictures don't do it justice. You have to see it IRL.

Thanks for the excellent ?
description of red color, I wonder is it as striking as the Molten pearl

I haven't seen Molten Pearl in person, but all of the Lexus colors are striking tbh. Ultrasonic Blue II also looks amazing. There's incredible depth to the colors. I'm a sucker for white, but I might get mine wrapped in a glossy teal
