    I’d go to that dealership, find a salesman and tell them I want to buy a car that day, spend an hour or two haggling on different cars, then tell them I’m not interested anymore and walk away with the satisfaction knowing that I’ve wasted their time.

    I just went looking for a part. I got responses ranging from $50-300. I'm going to look at the $50. I don't begrudge the $300 which I consider excessive.

    When selling stuff I get the occasional "insulting" low ball offer. Again I don't begrudge these offers, I've done it myself. The free market decides.

    No one owes you a good deal, neither do you owe anyone a good deal.

    A $5 flashlight now could be worth $50 to someone during a power outage, flood, emergency. The seller of a $50 flashlight is making it available in a time of great demand and has no obligation to sell for the $5 they paid. By stocking it, bringing it to a crisis area and offering it they are being compensated for bringing items in great demand to an area in crisis, fulfilling market demand. During the crisis the flashlight is worth $50 to many, following the crisis the flashlight is worth $50 to few.

    When I work, I negotiate for maximum wages. When I shop i look for minimum prices. I decide, simple free market principles. If the car market supports these prices they will continue. If they don't they'll disappear. You have no idea what other market pressures the seller is under, their total profit might be cut to the bone due to other factors. If they become unprofitable, no product will be offered. What's worse, expensive products you need, or no products when you need them.

    Why get bent? Vote with your wallet. No one owes you a thing.

    Have you considered the BRZ? I’d rather that than a new Civic Si or the upcoming Toyota Corolla GR, AWD 6 speed 300hp.
    I expect great things out of the Corolla GR. After owning a Tacoma I’m a believer in Toyota and will most likely stick with the brand.

    My 92 Lexus SC400 is loaded with good design, quality parts and assembly. In the top end of the market with Mercedes, Lexus and other Luxury brands, Toyota/Lexus appears to have better reliability design.

    They don’t make anything like they used to.
    Every brand has its faults.
    I feel that people just buy cars now for what ever electronics they have and couldn’t even tell you what engine it has.
    Or in tire season you ask the customer where their wheel lock socket is and all you get is a blank stare.
    Stock engine Fox equipped with the Maximum Motorsports catalog. Now I have lots of Trick Flow stickers.
