#36708 of 47891 Re: TV ads [chikoo] by driver100 Dec 01, 2008 (3:54 pm)
Replying to: chikoo (Dec 01, 2008 10:25 am) maybe there was a fine print?    * 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) This guy didn't even know it was a hybrid Lexus 400h but that's besides the point.   That begs the question, how do you know he didn't know?

Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 8:23 am) We overprice our vehicles by 3-4K on EVERY SINGLE UNIT.   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) It's not a false report.   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.

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!

Replying to: snakeweasel (Dec 01, 2008 4:27 pm) Nah I am going to leave it. I still sell Land Rovers I just don't sit at that store anymore. I still follow up with all my old customers too.
