"The crowdsourced website lets consumers browse an extensive catalog of dealership markups, all of which are reported by fellow car buyers. Some listings even include screenshots and window stickers — proof of the dealership’s outrageous extortionate pricing." - Maxwell Shukuya .com

"Since that practice (dealer markups) has not been firmly regulated yet, dealers are going crazy.

In some regions, car prices increase every few days.

New models are released with a given price applicable to only a few initial units.

In the USA, people have founded the Markups .Org website to track dealer markups all across the country."

Ever wondered why car dealerships have been inflating prices? Here's a look at what dealer markups are and how you can avoid them.

"A search with the car’s VIN revealed a spreadsheet of sold Toyota GR Corolla allocations in which the freshly auctioned car was found to have been delivered by Del Toyota in Thorndale, PA.
Numerous entries on the site Markups .Org, a service in which shoppers can self-report their findings of dealers charging exorbitant markups for new cars, show Del Toyota allegedly slapping $5,000 markups on vehicles like a 4Runner TRD Pro and even a simple Highlander.

While the GR Corolla in question is not listed, we think it’s reasonable to expect that the buyer was charged at least a $10k markup, given those numbers on Markups .Org and the propensity for other dealers around America to ask an extra $15,000 or more for the same model.

If accurate, this means that RideZX6R could have paid in excess of $50,000 (plus who knows how much in doc fees and taxes) on a car he just shilled for $48,550."

"I personally am a fan of the dealership model. I think you get better service and better sales from a dealership than an OEM could ever match. The OEMs could never even come close to giving you what the dealership can give you. I don't think we will gain anything by getting rid of sales through dealerships". - Trey Soucie co-founder of Markups Dot Org
