Wonder if he still had to pay ADM?

They most likely took an allocation from another dealer and said tough, or they paid another dealer for it. Doubt they made him pay ADM

You know that they probably have a few extra lying around?

A lot of these dealers have gotten totally out of control and are hurting the image of the brands they 'represent'.
The brands need to start pissing on the ones causing the issues, but either no longer have nads to do anything about it or are contractually unable to sanction the bad eggs.

They used to control their allocations by their quality control scores. You were either a 5 Star dealer or not.
It was beat into our heads all the time.

It is obvious that many dealers have the attitude of getting the most as they can today because the future is unclear. Who cares about pissing Dodge off if the 2024 and beyond product line is either not selling, exciting or interesting to the consumer.

Are people flocking to the dealerships to buy Hornets,120K pickup trucks, or for the future EV charger?

Ripping off a couple of people isn't going to save them.

Sounds like Dodge and not the dealer made things right.

Hat's off to @ButterDaGreat?
I will clarify Dodge would make this right IF the dealer doesn't. I found out the dealership tried to screw another customer out a car to "fix" this situation and now Mac Haik has another store to handle the situation. Oh and the GM who's now in charge? The same guy who was trying to discredit the soldier on social media and won't apologize for his comments.

Can't make this stuff up.

Honestly they should only pay dealer cost for this nonsense. Mac Haik shouldn't make a dime off this situation. We are now 4 days out and still no public apology. They are starting to approach Bud Light territory especially when employees are sending a lot of interesting screenshots of stuff going on at these stores

Sounds like a real cesspool. Employees hating on the place. Time for a change of ownership if the owner is a dirtbag, or at the very least change management from top to bottom.

Greed and fear is ruling the decisions people are making.

I agree, however, the "don't give a shit attitude" is everywhere.

People go shopping in pajamas, I see it more as not caring and entitlements.

One of Mac Haik's GM want to call me 3rd rate, half truth telling? Well my "3rd rate" lil YT channel moved mountains today and Dodge stripped dealers of a Demon 170 for the soldier. This dealer is still playing games with the soldier. They forced Dodge's hand because in the background, that same dealership tried to screw someone during this situation on another Demon. More to follow tomorrow.

Let’s see if Dodge actually does anything or if it’s smoke and mirrors damage control

Keep us updated.

I wonder if anything is going to happen to this dealer?

Now other dealers are going to lose their additional allocation because of these asshats.

Great job brother!!!

BTW, is that your boy running around behind you on that video? Great looking kid.
