Don't forget, there are also lots of foolish and desperate customers.

Mentality ng mga dealers: "hey if you are desperate enough to throw 1.2M around, then you may have ANOTHER million there! Let me help you get rid of it!"

Dealers are relatively independent, and can declare their own price if they want to throw on a few extras. It's exorbitant to claim 70k for leather, but full leather seats for my Ford Lynx would cost 40k... 210k for mags and tires is harsh, but a good set of mags in that size will set you back 140k++++ ALREADY. The additional gouging the customer will have to suffer from this amounts to probably "only" 50k net. :lol:

They're trying to appeal to the borloloi customers. It's not fair to try to bundle so much onto the price, but if they're confident, let them. No matter how much we complain, someone else, someone with enough money... will buy it anyway.

In the meantime, Ford is laughing... as their cars already have more borloloi than any Toyota could have (especially a stripped-down IMV special like the Fortuner) at base price.

Shame... the attraction of the Fortuner was the ability to buy a basic SUV at high quality and with a low price... that's just something the dealerships DON'T understand.
