Replying to: boomchek (Jun 24, 2008 10:01 am) The ADP thing was that I would come in on mondays and take a look at the Autobase to see which used cars were sold so I would take them off AutoTrader. Only for the cars to reappear the next day! The only way they would disappear the day they were sold was if the deal had been completed and billed. Mack

Replying to: mackabee (Jun 25, 2008 7:43 pm) Our website pre owned list is linked to Reynolds and uploaded daily. It's ok, but it also pulled back end notes from Reynolds such as repairs done, Pack, service comments and listed them as options for custmers to see (yikes). I spent one whole day changing them and adding proper options, only for it to be overridden the next day. Anyways it's been taken care of now. We also have a guy that can come and take photos, but he's here once a week, and I need the photos for both our site, and Trader, and my own craigslist listings, so I told him not ot bother coming. Trader now has a new system where the guy can take a photo of the VIn, and it will pull all the options for that car. The problem is that it's based of a US database, and many cars here have different option packages, and trim levels that the US cars. So I told him not to bother with that either.

I plan to buy a Honda CPO vehicle this year from the internet. What extra (required) fees should I take into consideration besides the listed price of the vehicle?

| I know on our internet site we offer special discounts to our internet buyers however we are also willing to work with our lot traffic as well. | |

| i think the scenario could go either way | |

We offer special pricing on the net and it is funny to watch some of our weak kneed sales people work the system. They will bring a buyers order to the desk and tell them that the people saw it on the net. The deal gets closed and brought to me. After every sale I do an exit interview asking a variety of questions. A couple being How did you find the car? Have you visited our web site before? What is your email address? It is funny when the people who "supposedly" found the car on the net answer no to the web site question and tell you they don't have an email.
