Because people are spending less and buying fewer cars, dealers need to strecth each dollar a little further. But, the real question is why not go to the dealer that gave you the good quote to begin with?

I have to believe a sale is better than no sale...or am I wrong here. When I've bought cars over the years, the dealerships know I'm a serious buyer and will buy right then & there if my target price is met & the amount of bullcrap is minimal. I'm upfront and expect the same in return. Happened when i bought a Sentra in '03. The local dealer wouldn't budge but the dealer 8 miles away obviously had a good month and agreed to what I wanted. Done deal. When I had warranty work done at the closer dealer they were perplexed as to why I never came back.. I told them exactly why but the sales guy still said he couldn't do my deal. My gain...his loss. And they ended up doing all the warranty issues until I hit the 3 year mark...then proceeded to dump it. The Sandman

"And they ended up doing all the warranty issues" Warranty work is not profitable for a dealer... it is break even. Some dealers would rather shy away from warranty work. |

I remember someone once said (about a thousand dollar loser), you'll make it up in volume. I said yeah you're right, -1000 times ten equals -10000 doesn't sound like a vloume of business that I would want to be apart of. |
