Main dealers offering unobtainable cars priced at over list doesn't seem ethical to me, best left to opportunist private flippers and "specialist" used car dealers?
You don't think the manufacturer should benefit for the excellent car they have made?
If they don't mark it up, someone else will and the hard nosed world of car retailing that aint gonna happen.
Huh, so why not let the dealers sell all that way?
As I said it's down to ethics and better to sell the car to enthusiasts who will use rather than flip the car. there must be 10% of Uk CS-S allocation available for sale at the moment.
In total agreement with you - you do not expect official retail channels which have a monopoly on initial supply to hike the prices beyond RRP.
Imagine the uproar if ToysRus/Smyths etc hiked the price of the Christmas "must have" toy that is in short supply (hatchimals this year?) because they were the only outlets that had them.
VW dealerships should not be operating like a cartel.
