RT really? I was a Registered Radiologic Technologist when I got out of the Army myself. Worked for 10 years in the field before I moved into physics. I assume that is what your RT stands for anyway.
thank you for your service in the Army!

When I say RT I mean Respiratory Therapist. We run the ventilators in the hospital among other things.

These things are amazing guys! Totally worth the wait. The manager who set mine aside sold it to me at X plan. No markups. He got pushback from management for not going over MSRP but ultimately won out. Told the owner “he works as an RT at the hospital nearby, frontline healthcare worker, so honor the X plan” and I got it ? if anyone wants any specific photos of stickers or anything let me know!

Gotcha, my bad. We always refereed to ourselves as RTs also but were actually RRTs.

Stay safe, I can imagine how bad it has been with the virus.

Thank you. Makes sense! It has been bad for sure. But I’m working my tail off to pay for this truck!

That’s just a mark up because of production problems and shortages.
I would hope no one is foolish enough to pay a markup like this on a regular production pickup, but that dealer has successfully reframed the negotiations for the purchase of that truck so now someone will feel victorious if they negotiate it down to MSRP.

Always happens when the demand is higher than the supply. Saw it with the Hellcat; Mustang R; New Corvette; Ford F150 highend etc. Won't last long when they start rolling in in numbers.

I got X plan pricing because my salesman said yes and because he is on volume sales for his bonus, moving this truck before New Years only helps him. Also, the dealer is 1 block away from my hospital. So when he got pushback, he reminded them that it could look bad on them to cancel the deal for greed of money, as I’m a healthcare worker on the front.

It was the same story with the Kia telluride, people just refused to buy them though. The high end cars though, they won’t budge on markup. They sold a Gt500 for 131,000 a week ago.
