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.

    It’s the same thing here. This is a new special model that’ll only be available in limited quantities of it sells as expected.

    The vast majority of models will be discounted. It’s pretty easy to find 15% off less desirable models.
