    How do travel agents get paid? Is it through fees when you buy, or are they compensated by the airlines?

    Screw a dealership. MSRP on a Super Duty is 7% over invoice, dealerships were making 10-15% on the invoice depending on their standing with Ford not to mention all of the incentives and holdbacks they got. Now they are adding the ADM to prices in nothing more than greed. When I bought my F350 in October of 2020 it was $25K less than what they want for a truck with less options on it 3 years later. The local Ford dealer had a 2023 F250 Lariat on the lot with the HO Powerstroke, black appearance package and Lariat Ultimate package, $106K with the $10K ADM on it, some idiot bought it.

    My boys are all growing like weeds, my '13 Land Cruiser was getting some miles on it, didn't get great mileage and hitting that point where nickel and diming me. I went to buy a nice Expedition Max Platinum, bought a Mercedes Benz GLS 450 for less than a dang Ford, less than a Sequoia, 1/2 of what the Lexus LX 600 is selling for and also less than the Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    When the kid that screws up your drive through order is making $15/per hour, imagine what that union worker is making to screw up your transmission!

    But did you get the free tank of gas with your new vehicle?
