"And, BTW I don't get angry at ADMs, either. Amused sometimes."
 
It's not against the law to post ADM's on their vehicles. If you read the fine print in the brochures and even on the window stickers it says "Dealer is free to set their own price" or words to that effect. So if they can get ADM, more power to them. It's called capitalism.

Of course - I know that. If they can sell that Taurus for $200K, who am I to tell them they can't. All I want is laws allowing sufficient competition and requiring sufficient disclosure during transactions. Everything else is up for grabs. Just don't get angry at people offering $15K on $25K Siennas - it's just the flip side of $3K ADM on Suzuki.

Now don't get me wrong....I like to make money just as much as the next guy. And when these people sign the paperwork they are grown adults making a personal decision.
  
But there was this one customer who I kinda feel bad for.
  
They bought a 2005 Chrysler T+C fully loaded from me for $11,991 plus 3K in negative equity. After they got out of the finance office they owed $25,250 on their loan. They bought everything in the back end including life insurance.
  
Now these people can't get out of their Chrysler for the next 7 years.
  
I probably could have sold this customer and his family (wife bought a car from me, son bought a car from and his sister in law bought a car from me) a couple more cars but they are so buried in the ones they bought that they can't trade them in.
  
We went so far over the top that they can't buy anything else. That is bad business in my opinion.

 
Wow! and you seem proud of this? Mack is rolling in his grave right now.

driver & gg, may be an omen to buy, but I just got this months issue of Consumer Reports. They rate 3 of the midsize family sedans I'm interested in... the Hyundai Sonata, Malibu, and the Mazda 6.The 4 cyl Sonata rated 6th (tied with Camry) and the Malibu was 10th. The reviews were pretty good. Nice comfort, safty, reliability, roomy interior, good mpg...Malibu handles better. Throw out the 6 as not much of a discount, I'd be looking at the Sonata, Malibu or the Fusion.
 
 I'm in flip-flop mode right now, so not sure what will happen. The new car auto show is in January or Feb, if prices get better with 0% financing, I will be left with no choice... BUY!

Now that you mention it, could this be Mack's alter ego just funning us?

Thanks Rover - how are things in LR land? Are the elite still buying cars before Obama's tax hike kicks in?
