Ahh... listen I have to correct you guys... and I hate to do it but, consumers really don't club sales people like a baby seal. If someone gets a great deal or if you beat up a sales person to get a great low price... thats all you did. You got a great price. Now I understand  ...... everyone wants to beat up on the salesman.  The phrase club them like a baby seal is only used properly when someone (salesperson) sells a customer over sticker (ussualy by stealing the trade) and than they buy everything in F&I.... But in the end you say potato... I say potata...... or what ever way that saying goes. Anyway you have to love July. I have worked 4 days this month and I am selling my 5th car. My goal is to hit 25!!! Have a great month everyone and that goes for you retired folk out there also. GP

Replying to: tedebear (Jul 07, 2008 3:29 pm) They still use domestics only on the show. They just slightly changed their definition of 'domestic'. They're very careful to mention that every Honda they've given away lately is from Honda of America and built in Ohio. They also quit giving away Chevy Aveos, presumably because they're built in Korea for the most part. Going slightly closer to on-topic...I can't help but laugh every time I drive to/from work with these gas prices. Seems most of the stations in Rockford are selling gas for $4.27 today, but the ones I go past in South Beloit are $3.99. And it's not a gradual shift between the two either...at one spot halfway between, there's a station selling for $3.99 and the next one down, a mile away, is $4.27. Yeah, I haven't bought any gas in Rockford lately.

Replying to: greanpea68 (Jul 08, 2008 10:02 am) You are correct. We have our own terminology. We say, "I harpooned the giant whale." This means that we stole the car from them at under invoice, got retail for the trade, and purchased nothing in F&I. You are just too young to be messing with us retired folks.  Richard

Replying to: richard64 (Jul 08, 2008 12:50 pm) I would except that from a consumer... You just reminded me of all the people who read the book " How to beat the dealer " and I am taalking about the dealerships in this case not Vegas... You can always tell who read it... or read it on line because they will say they are just paying cash... car is for someone else... my favorite " I am not trading" than after 2 hours of negotiating... "well what will you give for me my trade" Have a great day everyone. GP
