#37435 of 47319 Re: The nerve to ask for more [richard64] by kirstie_h HOST Dec 30, 2008 (8:48 am)
Replying to: richard64 (Dec 30, 2008 8:21 am) I never feel like asking (politely) is insulting. The car buying system is largely based on bargaining, so why not ask? If you get all belligerent if they won't... well, that's insulting.   However, I think Joel said their dealership doesn't discount further on employee pricing + rebates.

Replying to: driver100 (Dec 30, 2008 8:35 am) Thanks for your opinion. Yes, I'm still considering the purchase of the GM---with a trade in. I enjoyed reading all of those posts on trades. There was good advice in all of them. I've finally reached the age for one more of those big tank rides---the leather couch floating down the road. Actually, the $7k discount from Detroit isn't bad at all. I would probably take that deal if the trade is reasonable. As you suggest, I might try to get another $1k knocked off.   Richard

Replying to: richard64 (Dec 30, 2008 8:11 am) "You guys that say that you like the feel of the road really SLEIGH me."    I see that you still have Santa on your mind.   That was precisely for your attention. I knew if you were hiding in the wood-pile that would bring you out. No one else caught it.   Sorry Isell. I just couldn't resist.   Shows you that he ain't payin attention either.   jmonroe

Replying to: kirstie_h (Dec 30, 2008 8:48 am) No, no. I wouldn't get angry if they refused to lower the price. I'll just ask in a nice way. As you say, Joel is probably correct. With a $7k discount from Detroit, I doubt that there would be room for more bargaining---except perhaps a little on the trade.   Richard Replies to this message: jipster (Dec 30, 2008 11:51 am) richard64 (Dec 30, 2008 3:20 pm)

Replying to: driver100 (Dec 30, 2008 8:38 am) ...please call a toe truck...   I can't believe Richard missed that one.   If I find out he's only picking on me I'm going to insist that the hosts jack up his dues or I might have to do my own "jacking" on him.   jmonroe Replies to this message: driver100 (Dec 30, 2008 9:46 am) richard64 (Dec 30, 2008 10:36 am) snakeweasel (Dec 30, 2008 6:11 pm) driver100 (Dec 30, 2008 6:38 pm) snakeweasel (Dec 30, 2008 8:09 pm) and 1 more... jmonroe (Dec 30, 2008 7:06 pm) isellhondas (Dec 31, 2008 6:20 am)

Replying to: jmonroe (Dec 30, 2008 9:28 am) ...please call a toe truck...   I am sure Richard was just being polite...it being the holiday season.   I should know better, I once taught school?????

Replying to: driver100 (Dec 30, 2008 6:24 am) I am sure Mr Munroe loves his Buick Pleasure Cruiser (do you drive along with a big cigar?)   Nope, I gave up smoking in January of 79’. I guess you can say I’m now viceless.   On more thing about that “driving experience”; I’m also after that, like not remembering all the bumps in a 600 mile (each way) vacation drive.   jmonroe

Replying to: jmonroe (Dec 30, 2008 9:28 am) You should be flattered. I'm very selective these days when it comes to choosing my needy students. Besides, Driver is relatively new to the board and he has impeccable manners---something that we were never able to teach you.   Extend my condolences to Mrs. JMonroe because "Santa" didn't bring her the new dining room furniture this year. We'll have to work on "Santa" during 2009.   Richard

Replying to: richard64 (Dec 30, 2008 9:14 am) I doubt that there would be room for more bargaining---   Don't forget the BIG doc. fees. You could bargain that down anywhere from nothing to about $100. Replies to this message: richard64 (Dec 30, 2008 3:20 pm)
#37444 of 47319 Busy Last week? by oldfarmer50 Dec 30, 2008 (1:14 pm)
I know the sales folks have said that the last week in December is often very busy. In light of the poor economy is this year-end holding up to your expectations?   It would be nice if the month finished strong, not only for your pocketbooks but for your attitude going into 2009.   So how about it, anybody hit any grand slams?
