I guess it is the generalization that all dealers and their products are bogus is offensive. Of course it is my job (just as it may be in your business) to maximize profits - but because of the relationships built over the years much of my business (and that of most professionals) is repeat and referral. When done right the car business is like any business. |

Replying to: longislander1 (Oct 27, 2009 1:28 pm) Why don't you give us that information and we can see if you are correct on your numbers? Contrary to your low opinion, salespeople don't get paid if they don't sell a car. If there is a way to make a sale, they will find it. Maybe you are way off on your estimation,maybe the tone of your email was wrong, maybe you really did run into a really lazy salesperson.

Replying to: jayrider (Oct 28, 2009 1:32 pm) If the car is really worth $21k, fine. If it's not, then you are looking at an overallowance scenario. You just end up making the new car that much more expensive.

Replying to: jayrider (Oct 28, 2009 1:32 pm) Don't forget, you typically have to pay sales tax on the buyoff amount because you are actually buying the vehicle from the leasing company and then trading it in to the dealer. The state is going to get theirs somehow.
