Picked up new black/black manual GTO tonight from Ed Morse Pontiac in Sunrise, Florida for GM employee price plus $250 dealers fees. All arranged by e-mail prior to arrival. Dealer and staff could not have been more accomodating and pleasant. The car is awesome!!

After all, selling small numbers of $250,000+ exotic cars with a $40K markup is one thing. Selling small volumes of a car with a smaller markup than a Bonneville is something else entirely.

Replying to: straycat (Jun 23, 2005 7:01 pm) Also glad to hear that Ed Morse plays "straight" with buyers. I visited Sheehan 2 weeks ago, and they were still bumping up the Employee price with their own "add-on's" such as paint sealant. I would really like to take advantage of the Employee pricing, because it would be the only way to get a "fair" price in South Florida. I am eligible for the GM Supplier discount, but I cannot use my GM Card earnings with that discount, however GM Card earnings CAN be used with the Employee pricing. Alas, I am building a new home right now and just don't have the cash today. Plus I still need to sell my '96 Impala...

Replying to: elkiii (Jun 23, 2005 8:15 pm) Of course, I agree that pricing and how a customer are treated are two separate things. While they have every right to get as much for the cars as they can, they certainly shouldn't be rude to potential customers. While I would never buy from Sheehan in Lighthouse Point FL because of their pricing, even though as one of the largest dealers they get more cars than other dealers, they have never been smug or rude to me... they just won't the let the cars go for what most of us would consider a fair price. I also can't fault dealers for not offering test drives to anyone who walks in the door. Ideally, I would like to buy one fresh off the car carriers... one that someone else hasn't driven harshly in its first 100 miles (I still believe there is such as thing as a "break-in period"). |

Replying to: rcc442 (Jun 24, 2005 5:42 am) Salesman at Sherwood Delray Pontiac was no better. Automatically added 1k for pin stripping, undercoating etc. even though it wasn't even added to the car. Passed on contacting Coral Springs due to a problem with the service department on our Pontiac Vibe. No other dealer had car readily available. If you are interested go to Ed Morse Sawgrass website, and look for female internet salesperson--she and the finance person were truly outstanding! If you speak to her tell her we're the family that got the black/black 5 speed GTO on the very rainy Thursday night 6/23/05. They also sold a midnight blue and impulse blue that same evening. The car is not to be missed. This dealership is head and shoulders above the others. A Corvette with a back seat for $10 k less. We weren't planning to buy just now, but the offer was too good. If you can work it out definitely go for it!

Replying to: straycat (Jun 24, 2005 4:49 pm) Thanks again for the info; I was actually interested in the Impulse Blue one at Ed Morse, which, as you said, was sold the evening you bought... Best of luck with the car! (I may decide to opt for a leftover 2004 if I can get it under $25k, and then minus GM Card earnings...) |
