Gateway is notoriously high-priced. I have no use for either decade of Chevys. On a tangential search, I am likewise shocked to have seen about 10 Vegas selling for asking prices from circa $12K to $19K. In my mind, a Vega should never exceed $1000 even for a mint Cosworth, but; hey.

Dealers that pull those stunts should lose their franchise, have their inventories seized and returned to the manufacturers, and buildings bulldozed. Make them hurt.

Wrong generation for me, wrong model of auto! Now this is more my style, but would want it in Burgundy. 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Classics for Sale - Classics on Autotrader This also is awesome! Sold though Very cool, but crazy stupid price that I would never pay for any of them. 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe For Sale - Gateway Classic Cars This one says 10K miles only and asking $43K for the auto. Crazy

This is going to HURT not Help EV sales and another reason that Ford needs to step on the Dealerships if they want to succeed, otherwise plan for a funeral as new auto companies that stick to selling MSRP will take over. Ford dealers marking up F-150 Lightning by $30K due to strong demand - Electrek Keep a fare profit in it for the Dealer and enforce MSRP selling like Bose does so the price is the same no matter what dealer you go too. Then make sure the service experience is worth it for repeat business, otherwise let them die.

Just got back from dropping the engine / pieces off at the engine builder. He has a stellar reputation, did engine work for Bob Glidden for years (Pro-Stock), but he's not the fastest. Still; he seemed stoked to do a stock rebuild rather than super-rare / high-po stuff. Had a factory 440 6-pack block sitting there going back into a numbers-matching MoPar. Said he'll disassemble/evaluated my motor next week, so that's exciting.

Anyone wanting an EV that wants to avoid dealer mark up, here is your answer.

The bolded part... Whatever anybody does, do NOT highlight, right click and perform a google search if the wife is around. Things might get weird really really quick. Questions WILL be asked...
