When will they learn?

Wev'e just had a spate of folks coming in telling us about another dealership offering big prices for their cars as trade ins.
The ol $5000 minimum trade trickwith a twist.
Ie they have high prices on the CIN cardsand lower prices on the window stickers. Cash price is on the window.The big trade is based on the Cin card price
They just really don't seem to understand thatthe change over figure--how much money they pay for the new car is a heap more than elsewhere.
They are stuck on the $6000 being paid for their 1994 mitzi galant.
To the point today one said person said my 2ktrade in figure was a "rip off" cos the guys down the road offered $5995
Hmm --$14000-$5000 = $9000
But wait $8995 -$1995= $6995
They still diddn't get it.

Ohh and yep-same car/year//milage.

a slight tangent but.

I actually got the dealer I bought my car from to increase the price on the window sticker of the car I wanted and to correspondingly increase what he gave me for my trade.

any guesses why! :)

Because you were buying a company car and trading in your personal car!

To increase your deposit.

ok, i'll answer cos I don't want to ambush kazbanz' thread.im interested in what people say on his original topic.

answer - so the missus didn't give me so much grief about the bath I took on the car I traded :)ok, as you were.

Are you a dairy farmer and trying to offset the massive profit you made this financial!

Im interested to see what others think too.

Thats dodgy as man.

oh oh lemme guess. starts with E ends with E and sells rubbish

I makes it look a more favourable deal to the finance company doesn't it!

Thats one place but nope a bit more local to me -

That depends- Finance co's aint stupid --HMM so the car is worth $14995 is it! Hmm yet everywhere else the most expensive example is $9995
--Theres a name for that kinda deal that hydrolink use regularly

Nup, can't think of it. So many rubbish dealers turning up again.

Hydrolicking, which although illegal I have yet to see a dealer convicted. About time some were IMO.

You're asking too much of people man, be reasonable. Common sense and basic financial abilities is a huge ask for most of the general population.

I've said that so many times its not funny. As long as you compare apples with apples, its the "Changeover price" that matters, not whatever they offer you.
Stevo

Pfft - as long as they can say "Fanks, Instant Finance", what do they care!

At least one crowd have losat finance facilities I'm told

So tell your clever customers to go down the road and sell their galant to that dealer for $5995 and to come back to you to buy the cheaper upgrade you have waiting for them.

They'll soon figure out what its all about.

I'd say the other dealership has worked out a very good hook and you just need to be smarter and have your counter hook ready!

Always asucker just around the corner .The boss saidgotta shift them cars
