Going to Newyork city/Detroit! Car shows ifo help! by deltheking

Hi, I am going to NewYork city and Detroit this month for some conferences and so I will have spare time . So , are there any car shows there that I can visit? I have never been to one. But after joining Edmunds I am very much interested in going to one. Here in Texas we dont have too many car shows and I have never ever been to any car show.
 
In Texas I dont think there are any car shows-maybe a rodeo style truck release event with all cowboys and then driving the truck in dirt soil or a rough road with pebbles etc So what places do I visit in Newyork and Detroit? And in Detroit can I visit any GM/Ford/Dodge plants? Are we allowed a tour of these plants?? Where are the car shows in these 2 cities?
 
Thanks.

With bobst I'd take my chances and convince my manager to give him a good price. It worked before maybe on 2 out the 500 deals I did.
 
However bobst who asks for best price and actually buys is a rare specimen. Most customers who use bobst's method will walk, giving excuses even after saying they'll buy today.

If I sense that a customer is making one and only one offer I'd let my manager know too and even get him to come out to see for himself that the guy is ready to walk.

True volume approach may or may not work - nobody knows that for sure.
 
Doesn't Fitzmall go more for the volume with a fixed price approach?

But courtesy of SET we have here "prepackaged" mop&glo called "Toyoguard" put on Monroney (yes, that's right) sticker by the distributor
 
wow. I had no idea. That's crazy. Why would anyone buy a Toyota in that region?n

MIke,
 
I might not have gotten the exact words he used, but the approach I listed is the same you listed.

I am in the SouthWest Toyota region. They do the same thing with add-on at the Houston (I think) distributor's port. But the sticker is not the Federal sticker. It looks a lot like one, but it is a second sticker, in addition to the Federal one.
 
I'm still astonished at seeing the add-on leather on a model that did not come with leather. Thousands of dollars of add-ons on a Camry.
 
If you go a few miles, you are in another state, which is not in the SW region, and there is none of this distributor add-on crap and Toyotas are hundreds and thousands cheaper without them.
 
Even my elderly neighbor lady (mid-80's) was talking about a new Toyota for herself, and she knew she would go to Kansas to save a lot. I was very surprised about her knowing this. But, she goes daily to an elder club, and these people know everything that's going on in town.

Hope someone gets back to you. If there aren't any car shows I would suggest the Ford Museum. Last time I was there was 20 years ago, but I'd like to go again...it siworth seeing.
