More manufacturers should offer a program similar to the Subaru VIP Program to combat markups.

With several manufacturers still dealing with crazy markups on rarer models, I think it would be beneficial to employ a program similar to the Subaru VIP Program.

Pretty much if you donate $500 to a charity, you are guaranteed Invoice pricing, and Subaru pays the difference.

This pretty much makes a price ceiling on all Subarus as the most you can spend is Invoice + $500, which pretty much eliminates all markups on cars.

Am I being stupid for thinking places like Toyota, Honda, etc should implement a similar program.

Money would also be going to a good cause, customers would be happier also.
