[QUOTE="Mika, post: 10296847, member: 31753"] Pretty crappy analogy, seeing as how both ends of the spectrum involve the same exact place(Ford dealer). And no, I don't expect people to fall over themselves to make a minimum profit. If the sales guy was smart, he'd set a price right off the bat that's fair(a profit for the salesman, and a good price for the customer) and stick with it. But salespeople don't think like that. The vast majority are greedy bastards who would fleece their own mothers to make a buck. Not all, but most. There are some salespeople out there who try to be fair with the customer, but they unfortunately are outnumbered by the bad apples. Bottom line is, the dealership is a business. And businesses aren't there for handouts. They are there to make money. If the salesman is concerned about the volume of cars, he'll concede a bit on the price and be happy he got a car sold. If he's more concerned about the profit on each car(which is understandable), then he will let the customer know that he won't do that. Not can't. Won't. I have no problem making a profit. Especially since cars are a business. It's hard to find salespeople that are willing to work with you. Most seem to try to hit a home run on every sale. Mika [/QUOTE]
