I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Shocked to learn that dealers are ignoring Volkswagen’s now-former CEO’s strongly-worded caution for dealerships not to add additional dealer markup the already expensive ID Buzz.

Okay, well, maybe not that shocked. But it’s happening—dealerships are doubling down on Volkswagen’s egregiously-priced electric people hauler by adding markups as high as $15,000, effectively locking out consumers who were already stretched thin on their budget following the German automaker’s surprisingly high price announcement earlier this year.

    How about they come to you? If they want to see the kiddos so badly how about they make the effort rather than you having to buy a new car just so they can spend time with the babies? I understand if said family is elderly but I’d be pretty pissed if my able bodied family expected me to buy a new car for their convenience.

      Weeeelllll, some are elderly, but in my dad’s case, he’s a raging alcoholic. I guess not wanting to drive when you’re always drunk is a positive. Honestly forcing him to go sober to see my kid is a good thing, lol.

      But yeah, I’m with you on this one. My sedan works just fine, it’s not like I’m taking my 2 year old to hockey practice or something.
