Local dealer had also had a $15k upcharge on a brand new F250 Lariat. That said, he also offered me $10k more than I paid them 2 years ago for my used F250. Needless to say, I kept my truck.
When everyone was bragging about how much they were selling their used trucks for a couple months back; I said then to brace themselves for sticker shock when new ones started arriving.

My dad has been in the car business for 40 years. One if the terms he uses for greedy markups on questionable items (whether it was worth the charge or if it even existed) is “blue sky”. This looks like a classic example of dealer “blue sky” markup. Just seeing what they can get for it.
