- If it's $140,000, I'm gonna be really mad.
- I don't want to play anymore!
- I know me either. (dramatic music)
Why, why, why, why, why? but why?
- What is this?
Car prices are insane and dealerships are no exception.
Those guys are fricking jacking up the prices like crazy!
Today we are gonna try and guess the price of actual cars
that are for sale at actual dealerships,
and spoiler alert, we're probably gonna get pretty mad.
He's Jeremiah, I'm James, and this is the-
- [Narrator] D-List!
Inside your car, (creepy ambient music)
there's a creep unlike anything you've ever heard before,
(insects skittering)
but be warned, it can be quite temperamental.
(evil laughter)
Always run intercooler, do not use low octane dino-juice,
(car engine starting)
and the most important thing, (engine revving)
beware the creep that lurks within the boost!
(monster growling)
Donut Media presents
the new hair-raising "Boost Creeps" shirt
available right now at donutmedia.com for just $29.98
(hip-hop beat)
Really? That cheap, huh? That's so much cheaper than $30
- And as always, we're doing "Price Is Right" rules,
which means closest without going over, even by a dollar.
(Jeremiah laughing)
First example, we got us a 2022, that's this year,
brand new, Honda Civic SI, all right?
- Okay. - The second coolest one.
- So it's not a Type-R, it's an SI.
This thing, 6-speed manual, the dealer added tint.
- (laughing) Okay? All right, cool.
- Now this suggested retail value for this thing
is $20,315, all right?
I mean, it's insane if this is more than 40 grand,
I'm going to say $35,000
- Oh, it's way more than that! - You think?
- It's $48,000.
- 48,000? You think they almost doubled the price?
- Yeah, they're added 20k to this car.
- The actual listing price is $48,795.
(dramatic sting)
- Oh my God! I'm not even mad, I'm proud of you.
(men laughing) (upbeat electronic music)
That's cr- Dude, $20,000 markup on a Civic SI?
- Crazy! - $28,315
That's what Honda said this car costs,
the guy's like, "Yeah, I'm thinking 50."
(men laughing)
All right, next up we got a 2020 Toyota Tacoma.
This is pre-owned, this is used, it's a used Toyota Truck.
TRD Sport, Double Cab, it's not Four-wheel Drive,
it's Rear-wheel Drive. - Oh, interesting.
- Just under 26,000 miles.
Now, Tacoma's notoriously hold their value.
So the MSRP, brand new, this truck costs $37,000
- This one's tough.
I still think it's going to go over.
- It's definitely gonna go over.
- The fact that it's not four-wheel drive
kinda makes it a pointless thing.
- I'll do 47. I think 10k over.
- Yeah, I'm gonna say $46,000
- The actual price of the Tacoma was $48,500
(dramatic sting)
- God, you're on fire today! Dang dude!
Not only are you winner, you're like so close every time.
- Man, 48k for this thing? Are you kidding me?
So far we've had two $50,000 cars. (laughing)
- Yeah, and both of them have cloth seats.
Next up, we got a 2022, that's this year,
(Jeremiah laughing)
Corvette Stingray,
it's the Z51 package, so Z06s aren't out yet,
so this is up there.
It's got red seats, 3LT package, big daddy.
Chevy said, (Jeremiah laughing)
"Hey, we think this car should cost $80,600, we built it."
(upbeat lounge music)
What do you think a dealership decided it should cost?
it, dude, I think 135 grand.
- Yeah, I mean, I was just thinking 140...
135 is a solid guess, I'll go 140.
If it's $140,000, I'm going to be really mad
because when they came out with these cars,
remember it was like- - 60 grand!
- 60 grand
- Oh yeah, Toyota's got egg all over it's face.
(Jeremiah laughs)
Oh, I bet they feel like a bunch of idiots.
Uh, not! It costs twice as much!
How is it legal? - I don't know.
- I thought that's why dealerships were made.
- Right! that was the whole purpose of having a dealership
or like having a separate manufacturer from the dealership,
is so dealerships couldn't over consumers.
And now they're doing it! - Yeah,
they're doing it because I guess we forgot
what we were about in this country!
(men laughing)
- Spank your dealer.
- Yeah, give him a fiscal spanking. (Jeremiah laughs)
'Cause they are giving us a fiscal ramm-
(monotone)
Yeah, so I'm gonna say 135 grand on this car.
- I say 140.
- The price of the C8 was $138,000
(dramatic sting)
- Oh! Good job, James! I'm over, I'm over!
- [James] Oh, you're over, you're over?
- [Producer] James wins! - [James] Nice!
But you're on fire,
you should go buy a lottery ticket after this.
- Dude, 138? Dude, you! What a joke!
(men laughing)
- What a joke, dude!
- I can actually interject here with a little bit of trivia,
so it technically,
there's no legal jurisdiction for a dealership
to abide by the MSRP,
however some dealers, like Ford,
are issuing warnings against dealers who are scalping.
- Well that's- Thanks, Ford.
- Okay, next we got a 2018 used Ford Fiesta ST,
6-speed manual, it's got 12,000 miles on the clock.
- 12,000 hard miles...
- Oh, dude, these things are all screwed up. (both laughing)
I would never buy one of these.
Okay, so originally sold for $20,000
I don't know if it's gonna go over.
- I don't know,
I feel like this is one of the ones
where Max is throwing an oddball,
he's doing a little trickery.
So I'm just gonna go O.G. MSRP, let's say 20k.
- 20k? I'm gonna say 23
- [Producer] The actual price of the Fiesta ST is $29,991
- You, Max! No way, dude! (men laughing)
This is an economy car!
- This is insane. - This is insane!
- Another cloth-seat car that just added to the madness.
- All right, next up is a 2021 Kia Telluride.
- It's a Kia! - It's a Kia, yeah.
- They used to give Kias away. (Jeremiah laughs)
- Yeah, there was-
In Melbourne, there was the Kia summer sale,
where they were selling like a hundred Kias a week!
- All right, so...
It's a Kia Telluride EX, which means "Executive."
- [Producer] It's not the highest trim level.
- It's all-wheel drive, it's also pre-owned...
20- 28,000 miles? In a year? (dramatic sting)
- Already? Damn!
- And it sold brand new last year for $42,000
- Okay, oh my God, I don't even know...
- 350, $350,000? 1,000,000? $1.3 million.
- Yeah, I don't know... What are we saying? 42?
I guess 48
- Yeah, that's a hell of a guess, I'm gonna say 45
(suspenseful sting)
- $63,983
- Are you kidding me?
- [Jeremiah] Get the out of here, Max.
- [James] Did Jennifer Love-Hewitt pee in it?
'Cause then maybe it's worth that much money!
What is this? I don't want to play anymore!
- I know, me either. Why? Why? Why? Why? But why?
- They used to say that buying a new car
was the worst financial decision you can make
because it goes down,
you lose half your money once you drive off the lot.
Yeah, I put my money in Kia. Oh, stock? No, Tellurides.
(men laughing)
- I got all my money in Tellurides, baby!
- 2018 Rolls Royce Wraith Coupe, got 20,000 miles.
This car originally sold in 2018 for $320,000
This one might be appreciated.
- You think? You think the high-end cars are going down?
- Maybe, but also the world is nuts.
- It's wacky town right now, who knows?
320k? (exasperated sigh) I can't go under!
Nothing leads me to believe through every-
- I'm doing it. (Jeremiah laughs)
I'm doing it, I'm gonna say 300 grand.
- I'm gonna think
it sells for the same amount of money, 320.
- The sale price was $344,000 (dramatic sting)
- Okay!
- Well it went up much as a Kia.
- Yeah, so from a percentage standpoint,
the Kia's a better deal.
Bruce McDuck loses 20 grand or gains 20 grand, it's nothing.
- Yeah, Bruce McDuck's like, "Oh, I don't care."
"Oh, 20 grand? What is that? Toothpaste?"
(men laughing)
This 2022 Volkswagen GTI, brand new, spanking.
It's the highest GTI trim level, it's got 19-inch wheels,
it's got upgraded suspension.
- Cool color. - It's yellow.
And it's supposed to sell for $4,899
- You mean 40,000? - Yeah.
(both laughing)
It's supposed to sell for $40,899
I don't think the markup on this is going to be as crazy
because I think Golf Rs are going for like 65
- I would add 20k to this, and that would be my thing.
I'd be at 60k. - Yeah, you're right.
- Is that crazy?
- I mean, yes but no.
- Yeah, I say 60k. - I say 59,000
- James, you're playing this game! (both laughing)
You should say 60,001-
- [Producer] Or a dollar! - Or a dollar.
- Oh, I say a dollar! (laughs)
- Okay, okay, a dollar.
- Okay, one dollar. (dramatic sting)
- [Producer] $62,000 (men laughing)
(mischievous string music)
- [James] I was way off! I was way off.
The 2021 GT500. It's never been owned, never been kissed.
Kiss from a rose, kiss from a snake. (Jeremiah laughing)
So the MSRP on this is $82,980
I'm going to say 150,000
- Oh, I've been looking at these, this is a new one?
- You can get GT350R, at least you could last week,
for like 60.
- Yeah, we were looking at them.
But this is the 500, this is the big brother.
- This is the big boy. The daddy package.
- What'd you say? 150? Dude, that's a good guess.
- Thank you. - That's a good guess.
- I'm gonna say 125, that's 40k more.
- [Producer] $139,975 (dramatic sting)
- [Jeremiah] Crazy. - [James] Yeah.
I have like, a beard hair in my mouth. (spitting)
All right next up, we're getting towards the end.
Thanks for sticking with us.
A 2021 Ram TRX Ignition Edition,
which means it starts, (men laughing)
it's an appearance package, I guess.
It's 1 of 875, so it's collectible, technically.
According to the dealership this is true market pricing,
which I think means the market, like the stock market.
MSRP $94,370
(upbeat lounge music)
I'm going to say 400,000 (Jeremiah laughing)
Oh my God, it's $150,000
(tense electronic music)
What are you thinking for real? I say 150
- I'm gonna say 140
- [Producer] 162 (hands hitting table)
(men laughing)
If you see, we've stopped getting mad,
because you can only get so upset before you just cry.
- I'm tired. (men laughing)
All right, now we got everybody's favorite car,
some would say it's always the answer,
got a brand new 2021 Mazda Miata Grand Touring Spec.
It's for sale in Colorado, so you know it's good.
(men laughing)
It's got a 6-speed manual, as it should,
and MSRP is $33,260
Let's say 60 grand. (Jeremiah laughing)
- I have no idea, I have no idea! I don't even know.
I'm thinking 45 is what I want to say,
but even that is way too low.
45, I guess, I don't know.
(suspenseful sting)
- The actual price is $33,959!
- [James] Way to go Colorado! Thank you!
- Oh my gosh. - Finally.
- There's some goodness in the world. (men laughing)
If you need any Mazdas in Colorado or surrounding area,
go to McDonald Mazda West.
Honest. The only honest people left on the planet.
- And of course his name's McDonald.
- Yeah, Ronald! (men laughing)
Our final piece of insanity,
the main event, the pièce de résistance,
and I've actually kind of been paying attention
to how much these things cost,
this one's going to be a doozy.
This is a 2021 Ford Bronco Wildtrak.
It's brand new, it's got, like I said, the Wildtrak package.
It's got the 2.7 liter EcoBoost V6. Very cool motor.
It's got red wheels.
- Cool. - Is it?
It's also got Area 51 paint!
MSRP $67,000
Now this is another Ford that people were like,
when they debuted, they were like, "That is a deal."
- So this was 67? It's double, it's $140,000
- I'm gonna say $137,000
I don't think I'm good at the game.
- No, no, you're not good at Price Is Right rules,
but I want you to nail it.
This is why you're doing it because you want to nail it.
- I want to nail it. I want to be proud.
- You wanna get within a hundred dollars
so you win both Showcase Showdowns.
- Yeah. (Jeremiah laughs)
(suspenseful sting)
- Not quite that much. It's $112,602
- [Jeremiah] Okay, all right... 60,000 more?
- Oh yeah, we're just like, "Oh, okay..." (men laughing)
Yeah, that's only a $60,000 markup.
- Where are these, Chino Hills?
- [Producer] Mhmm. - Shame on you! (laughing)
- Shame on you!
- And here's the thing,
Ford sold this car less than the MSRP.
Yeah, they get wholesale pricing.
So on top of that, they're just ramming us hard!
I wanted one of these. - You bi-
