Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 7:51 am) Ok so doing an internet search I find one with nearly 10K fewer miles for $4k less to one with 8K miles less for $400 more to one with few thousand more miles on it for $3K more so depending on the options and what he wants it was either a good or a bad deal. Again I will with hold judgement on his actions. |

Replying to: chikoo (Dec 01, 2008 10:25 am) * after $3000 down or trade-in value Maybe there was fine print. The ad wasn't on Monday. If it was there advertised at $14,000 and there was a catch the dealer is getting pretty desperate, and it would probably turn off most potential buyers. Then again, someone goes in dreaming about a new Impala. What I do see on the website though is lease for $149 a month, even that is pretty good but there has to be a catch. |

Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 8:18 am) That begs the question, how do you know he didn't know? |

Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 8:23 am) Wait, you admit that you overprice your cars, then you get upset when an informed customer sees that and leaves?  More and more I lean towards siding with that guy that asked about the Lexus. |

Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 9:23 am) At best it is completely dishonest, at worst it is false (unless you live in or near 90210). You even said it was to create a false market price. So if you print one out using a 90210 zip code the value of the car will be higher then if you printed it our with a local Chicago zip code. Tricks of the trade. And you wonder why after being presented with such "tricks of the trade" customers act so badly towards you and your profession. It's not my sandbox...I'm just playing in it. While true you still choose to play in it. |

Sent me an email last week and he was very much alive. I hope he stays that way for a long time! |

| I know that he doesn't post here anymore, but does anyone have a update on him? The 'rolling in his grave' comment through me. Thanks! | |
