You guys have never bought a Raptor. Before all this covid craziness So Cal dealers added $10-$25K to the price and what's really scary (and stupid) people pay it. This just isn't a Ford problem, all of these parasitic dealers do it.
You said people paid that price, so why is the dealer a parasite? I assume the buyers were not held at gunpoint. Maybe you could be the lead horse in a movement to sell things at the minimum price instead of the maximum. Maybe start with selling your personal vehicle and home and giving the buyer a surprise 25% discount after you have arrived at the negotiated price.
Real estate in my area has buyers entering bidding wars paying 10% or more over list price. Are the sellers parasites for selling over the list price? Are all the buyers "stupid", or are they just paying what it takes to get what they want? In my view of the world, if the buyer and seller reach a mutually acceptable price it is a fair deal unless there are true mitigating circumstances such as fraud or a truly mentally incompetent buyer or seller involved.
