Which in most peoples minds would be less than MSRP. The fact that he looked him straight in the eye and said, "I did" doesn't mean he was telling the truth. Maybe he was... maybe he wasn't. |

Replying to: jeffyscott (Apr 19, 2008 7:42 am) I signed because it seemed to be the logical thing to do. The dealership received 4 Regal GS and only one in black. Without additional information like what's provided by Edmunds I was thinking that it could be the going rate for the car. Plus when comparing MONTHLY payment against the Lincoln I was saving $175 a month. Being a lease I'm also thinking I'll be out of the car in three years.

that anyone who is a genuine MSRP/sticker laydown-price-paying person would post here? They still walk the earth apparently, and are capable of working the internet. I used to think that anyone who had the ability to use the internet didn't pay MSRP. Live and learn. I stand behind similar people at the local quickie-mart as they buy lottery tickets. I'm happy to let such people help pay my taxes and cover the overhead at the car stores. |

Replying to: micosilver (Apr 19, 2008 7:51 am) This is not a story about a laydown, this is a story about a true professional salesman. Spoken like a professional car salesman. By definition when you pay MSRP you are a lay down and to prove it I looked up "laydown" in "car salesman's 101" very first text book and what do you think was there? No words, just a huge smiling face with the name OBYONE under it. It takes hot pants to buy a hot car. That's in "car salesman 101" too but as long as you're happy it's a good deal also something out of "car salesman 101". jmonroe

Replying to: jmonroe (Apr 19, 2008 2:13 pm) Ok so are we all in agreement that I am a laydown?  An interesting point about that dealership. They had been around since the late 1800s selling horse drawn carriages. My salesperson was the youngest on their staff at 59. The oldest I was told was 76. We are talking about the salesforce. Needless to say I doubt half of them are there anymore.
