Poll- Should a dealer accept GMS/GSU INITIALLY

[horse_powr]

In my opinion what does it matter when they offer it. The same people that are eligible for the discounts are probably going to wait for it to be offered anyway. So in reality what would be better having all the people waiting for 6 months, a year, or whatever for the discounts to appear or putting in their pre-orders now and still help GM and the dealer out now when they need it. The dealer is still going to get the same amount of money from the discount weather the buyer buys now with the discounts or waits for the discounts to be offered. Unless they go insane waiting for the discounts and say forget it and buy at msrp it really won't matter.

I actually told my father (35 year GM employee) that dealers had the option of offering GM employee discounts to him and I. He was resistant to believe that was even possible. He said "I am an employee, I can get the discount regardless". I think thats fair. I can understand things like supplier and graduate discounts (of which I apply for both), but to make an employee pay retail is a bit ridiculous to me.

Granted, he has the option of ordering one directly from the factory, and driving it as a company car, without going through a dealer at all. I actually decided to give my dealer my business, instead of sidestepping them entirely like I normally do.

My deal is that I am working within a budget. So if they accept my supplier pricing I can add $1000 in options that I won't otherwise order and we are all better off.

I believe they def. should be accepted.
As said before this is a buyers market and GM needs to push cars out.
It is better to have more happy customers.

I also base this off of what I am currently seeing in the market.
I am taking the 370Z for example.
I currently see that the 370Zs are selling at or below MSRP and there are quite a few dealers who are taking the Nissan Discounts.
And the main reason for that is b/c they are trying to make money where they can since its a buyers market.

I for one will not buy at MSRP since I get the Suppliers Discount.
I just cant see myself paying it esp. in this market where is the one time a buyer can get a decent deal without screwing over the dealer so they get a loss.

It is a shame that you have to teach them something that they should have already knew. Then after they get it they want to stick to you on the price. I am sorry but I see why the foreign competition has went to number one. They are about selling cars not about stuffing their pockets full of green cash.

I completely agree.
As I said above with the Nissan example.
It is quite sad and I wish things would be different.
