A true test of a good dealer is if he'll take a loss for you. I value that.

For you Dan, I can take the hit.

Selling a popular car at a loss means you failed to excite your customer. A sales manager wouldnt let you do it anyway. Here is my ultimate customer test. One of you go out and buy a brand new plasma TV at 1/2 the cheapest advertized price(not an out of box one either), and I will sell you a car cheaply.
Your the best Kev!

And I've seen plasma TV's for half the cheapest advertised price being sold out of cube vans all the time! And you don't have to pay tax. So WHEN can I get my under-invoice price? [/b][/quote]

The problem with car sales is that there is no price tag...if there was a price tag and no negotiation, we wouldn't have this game/problem. Like carmax...no games/no hassle. you go in and see the price. just like you would at best buy for a plasma tv. the price stares you in the face and you either buy it or not.

They get flat pay, from 250-350 depending on volume/tenure and money on pre-packaged warranties.


SO DOES ANYONE HAVE PICS OF MUSTANGS ON ASSEMBLY LINES YET??

I talked to someone "in the know" and asked him how Job 1 went today. He told me that Ford doesn't officially recognize Job 1, but that things are on schedule to meet the expectations of the customers.

Kev, I can get you a plasma at a great deal ... brand new, from a major electronics retailer ... you just have to know how their company works and you can get almost anything you want from them.

They also sell new cars with the same policy. One price no hassle, and they are GOOD deals!!! From my experience on the vehicles I've researched...always near or under invoice. As far as used cars...I don't know...i don't buy used cars, but from what i've seen on their website...the used cars are cheap too.

Got mine today also. I guess I'll put my air freshener in my 2000 Mustang as it is looking & smelling older by the minute. Can't wait for my bew GT if I don't end up in the nuts house before it gets here. I think my Husband wants to have my commited. I'm gonna give him my 2000 if they don't give me a good trade it. Isn't that nice of me?
