Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 9:34 am) 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.

Replying to: golic (Dec 01, 2008 3:06 pm) They are still moving units at Rover but at a much slower pace and almost non-existent margins. Our pay plan over there was set up to take advantage of large gross margins and not too much volume so trying to make money with no gross margin and even less volume was too tough.

Replying to: golic (Dec 01, 2008 3:06 pm) No. We're going to shoot you. You know how we worry when we don't hear from you..... |
