When I was running the internet department at my store I would send price quotes on cars that actually existed and not on dream cars that could be configured on kbb or msn but would never be built. The new GM had a problem with me giving quotes and wanted me to just get them in. I told him that what reason would they come in for if they didn't get what they asked for? Needless to say I left and went elsewhere. At the other store I would still be internet mgr. except the current GM was so far behind the times that he did not want to invest in software to handle the e-mail requests. They had R&R CRM software which IMHO is a piece of doo doo. Too complicated and it keeps you away from the floor too long. Autobase was/is very simple to use but they did away with it.
At my original dealership they use R&R CRM and they finally realized it's crap and are scraping it starting monday. We are now getting the latest internet sales wonder: iMagiclab.com another web based crm.

I may have missed something in the posting, they agreed to take the fabric protection and sealant and then when they're walking out to take delivery they decided they didnt want the additions? was it just included in the deal?

Does 2 to 3 MPG really make that much difference?
Do some people yes, thats why things get priced at $9.99 instead of $10.00. Its all perception.

Yes, a 2-3 MPG difference. And that's reality!

Well laurasdad that extra 2-3 MPG would add up to a savings of less than a gallon of gas per week for most drivers. That would hardly show up on most peoples radars.
Certainly not enough of a savings to go through the trouble and expense of swapping out cars.

The protection package was put on the vehicle as soon as they agreed to buy it. When they went into the business office is when the deal almost unraveled. They didn't pay for the pro-pack but it was put on the vehicle. When they came out of the business office I was told they didn't want it and didn't pay for it. So they got it for free.
