Re: It's just that crappy GM attitude.... [elkiii] by rcc442

Think it's just human nature... after selling so many cars with little profit, it's normal to want to get as much as possible for the ONE car the have for which demand may actually be higher than supply. That's certainly the case here in South Florida. After all, why "give" the car away for less than you can get from another buyer? Isn't that the "free market" working at its finest?
  
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").

I had exactly the same experience at Sheehan Pontiac. The salesman couldn't believe I wasn't willing to eat their supplemental sticker and pay an additional $1,000.00 over the GM Employees price. The jerk said, "this GM Employees Program is the best thing GM ever offered" and I said. " the problem is you're not offering it."
 
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!

Yeah, well, I guess greed runs in the family... as you might expect, "Sherwood" in Delray Beach is Sherwood Sheehan, the brother of the guy who took over Sheehan Pontiac from the father....
  
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...)
