Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Ford should just give their vehicles away for free and mark up repair parts by 900%

With Ford giving away their vehicles for free, this would eliminate Ford having to deal with Recalls which is like flushing good money down the old toilet. With no more responsibility for recalls, this would turn into an instant cash cow for Ford.
Who needs Dave Calhoun to come up with brilliant ideas like this!

That's ridicule. I heard once years ago that Ford made a 30% profit on replacement parts, which makes sense.

The average FCSD (Ford Customer Service Division) markup for replacement parts is 1200% i.e. 12 times supplier price.

Dealers are marking up their services too. It cost me $150 for an oil change for my F-250 this last time.
