#36711 of 44395 Re: [alejandrom] by snakeweasel Dec 01, 2008 (5:18 pm)
Replying to: alejandrom (Dec 01, 2008 10:23 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 5:27 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.

Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 30, 2008 1:56 pm) It came into our shop leaking coolant yesterday. Turned out to be a corroded pile that is part of the engine block. The woman who owns it…   OK, I’ll bite, what’s a “pile”?   I’ve heard of plugs and freeze plugs in the engine’s cooling system but never heard of a “pile”. Is this just another plus/extra you get when you buy a Honda? And I don’t want a “pile of shxx” for an answer like your service dept. gave that woman.    jmonroe

Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 01, 2008 5:39 pm) "Sent me an email last week and he was very much alive."   Thanks for the update.   The earlier flippant comment threw me for a loop. As much as we all pump stuff back and forth, several on here have made a significant (positive) impact. Mack is certainly one.   Best to him.

Wait, you admit that you overprice your cars, then you get upset when an informed customer sees that and leaves?   That particular vehicle had been on the lot for more then 45 days and been reduced about 7K. 3-4K mark-up is for fresh units. I thought I made that clear earlier.   $31,991 is a great price for a 2006 400h. That's a unit we are looking to dump because of its age.
