Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 07, 2009 11:24 am) I think you or one of the other sales guys had said the car show time doesn't result in more sales for you. That's a shame. I know that when I was about ready to buy I went to the shows and got business cars from the respective sales people. If I had chosen to buy a particular model I would have sought out the person from the show. I supose that the person who comes into your store is more "ready to buy" than the show lookie-loos. I understand your frustration about answering the same question over and over. One year I sold 5000 identical plants at the farmers' market. Every buyer asked "How do I take care of this plant?"

Replying to: jmonroe (Nov 06, 2009 5:48 pm) It was a X5M. They just released that model and BMW has never had a M Brand for SUVs before. They always said they would never make M branded SUVs. I have no idea if it is a hot car or not but it is completely brand new and if someone has been swimming in the BMW kool-aid then I can see then paying up for one. I doubt they are any incentives on them. Me personally I don't car for the X5. I think they ride too rough and are way overpriced. |

Replying to: graphicguy (Nov 07, 2009 7:25 am) OK, and I have another question you made me think of. How many times do you tell a prospective customer that a car is full MSRP. In other words, if I came in to your store, and said, I've been looking at a new XYZ, how much do those cars cost? What price do you tell me, retail less 5%, full retail, best possible price I am going to get without haggling? I have a feeling no one really pays full MSRP except on a real hot car in short supply. Everyone knows better.
