Even when business is slow, I can be doing something more worth my time like prospecting former customers, checking up on transfer cars and my inventory, etc. I will, without hesitation, decline test drives to anyone who expressly tells me they are not in the market. Just because we sell cars does not mean they are public domain. |

The sad thing is I be this gal blows $2000 on a new tranny because she'll have no other choice. I see this kind of stuff every day...you must have sold your soul to the devil to be a salesperson who can sell a 2000 Hyundai w 92k miles. I couldn't live with myself, honestly. |

Replying to: cars4mike (Jan 30, 2006 4:21 pm) My peers might disagree with me here, but as a salesperson I would say that 6000 miles is a used car. You are absolutely right to equate 6k miles with half a year's mileage. I have two or three used cars on my lot that have less mileage than that. I would shoot for at least $3000 below that $25,512 number.

Replying to: basscadet (Jan 30, 2006 10:04 pm) The questions he needs to ask is if Kia has a demo program or now. For Land Rover we have a demo/service loaner program where vehicles are reported punched as a demo/service loaner and Land Rover gives so many thousand extra dollars to reduce the price of these cars when we take them out of service to sell four months later. This program also starts the warrany on these cars so the car loses four months, or more of warranty depending on when it sells, and however many miles have been racked up. If Kia has a similar program then the price should be reduced substantialy since the warranty has started on that and you really have lost something.

Just as you can't escape the laws of gravity, you also can't escape the laws of basic finance. I think this should be permanently etched into the top of every vehicle purchasing discussion we've got. But that's just me
