There are times when I struggle to pay my bills just like anyone else. Same with finances guys, sales managers, etc. Do you like getting ****ed out of money? Oh, you don't? Then why would you do it to someone else? Profit is not a bad word. |

Over the years I have worked with a LOT of people, multiple store owners, service guys, finance managers, sales managers, etc. From top to bottom they where in general good people. I have also worked with few of the guys that give our profession a bad name. Sleezy, lying, sacks of shit. Those guys are few and far between, and I can count them on one hand after now nearly 12 years doing this. |

hometeam... If I walk away and leave my number would you call me back with a better offer if I didn't like the one you gave me?

There are some dealerships or salespeople that will do this though. For me, my thought is that if I let you walk out, I will never see you again. Period. So I will not let you leave without my absolute best shot. Now say if something happens like they issue a new rebate, I might call on that. |

Heh, I am a car salesman's dream. If I'm on your lot looking at a car, it's probably because I've already scoured the internet and decided it was the closest to what I wanted and priced fairly, and unless there's some fatal flaw with it I'm going to write you a check for the asking price and try to get the hell out of the dealership as quickly as possible. I'm not going to waste hours and hours trying to beat a dollar or two out of you. I don't have the patience for that shit.

I decided to wait two years when my 2010 4Runner is paid off and I'll get a 2016 4Runner. I'll be able to put more down and the new loan will be shorter and cheaper. Besides, it's just two years. And 2016 is newer and better than 2014.

hometeam- when there are recalls by the manufacturer do the dealers lose money having to replace the parts being recalled?

Now, if you want to get into specifics, the manufacturer rate is usually cheaper than the public rate, meaning they make less per labor hour made. So I guess that someone could claim it was 'costing them money' but that is a half truth with no real life effect. The way I see it, all the work gets done, they aren't turning away customers because they are doing recall work. |
