(excuse me here while I get really real about things, the dealership rant)

And also, to say because the dealership I work for has decided on the 8 or so Camaros alocated to them would not be supplier or GMS sold has no reflection on the dealership as a whole and how they treat their customers. To say that if they don't give away this luxury it is somehow evil to any potential client and reflects badly on their customer service is revolting in itself. Who is being greedy again? Remind me as I keep forgetting as I type this. "Give car away free, treat those who don't like to pay like Gods, plead for referals from those who don't like to pay to send more who don't pay and then kiss their ass too..." oh geeze, sounds like a new ride at Disney World."


The more I read over this forum (except for a few really good people here) the first rule I ever learned has become more and more apparent. Customers typically get into a rage when they can not have what they want for the price they want to pay. Who is holding who hostage again? If I had a dollar for every person since the housing crash who said "I want less than invoice and you guys need the business, call me when you will lose money"


When has the Brand new ultra cool Camaro been something that was put into the Constitution as everyone deserves one at a few bucks over cost?.. alot of the people here act as if we are holding the last glass of water in the desert and holding it for ransom... for Pete's sake, you WANT the cool car but don't want to pay anything for that LUXURY really take a step back..


anyhow, maybe I should exit stage left before I say something that people not in the car business would not understand.

Remember, I have read more threads on this forum demeaning my work, my livelyhood, my career... I have been called a liar without a word being spilt from my lips... I have been called a cheat when that person has never done buiness with me and I see thread after thread of people talking about "How can I beat the dealership up?" So I am sorry if I come off a bit abrasive but I work damn hard for myself, my family and my clients and I know I deserve better treatment than I see most of the people on here...

Have a great day.

No worries man. I'm not judging anyone. I can tell ya if dealership A is offering the discount, for which I am eligible, and dealer B does not, dealer A gets my business period.

The person that buys from dealer B and didn't get the discount they were eligible for, they more than overpaid for the car. How will customers that bought from dealer B WERE eligible (key words) for the discount feel when they find out they could have saved several thousand dollars had their dealer honored this discount? They'll feel HAD and taken advantage of and POOF they never come back. At least that's how I'd feel.

You keyed in on a major issue I have with the car biz. You keep using words like "ultra cool" and "luxury" to sell this new product. However a year later you'd say it was used and worth half what it was bought for initially whether I have my invoice slip in my hand or not.

Good luck.
