I'm glad that you like the quartz. The granite was going to be around $5,000, but the quartz will be around $3,800. We have much counter space including a large island. I was surprised that some granite owners had a problem with food poisoning. Evidently, you have to clean well after putting food on the counters. Also, the quartz is more resistant to wine, olive oil, cranberry juice, etc. It's the percentage of polyester in the quartz. I've done a great deal of reading and talking with dealers. Something else interesting that I saw---black concrete counter tops. A friend of ours in Charlotte decided on the concrete. It looks really good. I've also seen the stainless counter tops. They say that every fingerprint shows. There are just so many choices.
 
To stay on topic: I wonder if granite or quartz would look nice on the dash boards of cars?

Thanks. I didn't have the heart to correct his "behaviour".

If it performs like the old Supra of the 90's, it should be a winner. Course that 0-60 time should be less than 4 seconds even better if it was 3.

Well that is a typical honda/toyo tactic anyhoo!
 
What Oby should mention that he lives in Hawaii so theres only
so many dealers there and the lowball, ADM, and killer dealer add on
fees are a way of life!

I'm just about ready for a new car. If it's the real thing, maybe I'll make a trip to VA Beach.
 
Not so fast. Mack is gonna make you sign a Refusal Form for that beauty and the ADM will kill ya.

Do salespeople make money on below invoice deals? by craigl

For you on the sales side of the business. . .
 
I test drove a vehicle I'm interested in at a local dealership, and then gathered quotes on the same vehicle from other dealers via the web. A couple of the internet prices were just below invoice, and the local dealership agreed to match their price. That's great for me as a buyer. But what about the salesman? Does he typically make any money on a deal like this?
 
I want to get a good price on the new vehicle, but I don't like the idea of the guy who invested a fair amount of his time (test drives, demoing features, talking about available packages, etc.) to end up with the sale, but no money in his pocket.
 
If this has been asked before, I apologize. I'm new to this discussion and didn't see anything mentioned.

This was brought up recently. I think some people mentioned that salesperson would get a mini (varies by store, but it's between $100~$250 I think?). The buyer who posted said that they gave the salesperson a gift card or something like that.

The average is $100.... You can get $250 as a mini at high line store.
