Replying to: bigums (Jan 14, 2009 6:39 pm) Acura Marketing Incentive: $1000 (for tech). So on my tech car, the dealer will get $2200 from Acura for making a sale. So if they sell their car for $1000 under invoice, they still make the 3%. If they do this and MOVE their cars once a month...they are getting a 42% annual yield on the sale of cars at $1000 under invoice. This is a captalist market. If the supply from Acura and its competitors vs demand of consumers has driven prices to that level...fine. If you walked into a car dealer during the boom cycle and asked them to knock $2000 (difference between what different dealers are offering me as their "bottom line" price on the car) off of the price compared to what the next buyer in line has to offer...they would laugh you out of the dealership. The dealer that wants $1000 over invoice compared to the dealer that wants $1000 under invoice....one has cars stocked up on the lot like crazy...the other is moving them as they come. The high priced dealer also has the lower customer service ratings....crazy! So guess where customers (me) would go for service... (which generates additional revenue for them). Guess which dealer I think stands a better chance of being in business? The dealer that has the cars sitting on the floor is paying for real estate, financing their inventory ($150-$300/car/month) because they are not selling for the market price.

Replying to: Acuratexan (Jan 19, 2009 2:16 pm) The only reason I can think of is that there is just no inventory there. Any luck looking at nearby dealers for available cars? |
