I saw a new Stang with the sticker still on the window it today. It was a white V6 with a "GT package" from what i figure was the wheels and the spoiler. MSRP was around $25K which i guess is resonable for a new car but i saw something that desturbed me. Under the MSRP was something called "Market Value Ajustment - $15,000". What is that? Why would Ford charge $40K for a V6 Stang?

You know, I went to one dealership looking for an 05 GTO, but they had a 5k market adjustment, in addition to putting down a deposit on the car. The other dealership was very lax, letting me test drive it, and aren't marking it up.

In short, it varies from dealership to dealership. They charge that to make more money off it. The SSR's at our local Bill Heard Chevrolet have the 15k markup also.
