[QUOTE="FormulaFord, post: 10298873, member: 23929"] These are my opinions and experience over the years Most Car Dealerships have horrible reputations because of their business practices. Stick with the dealers or salesman, no matter how far that treat you right. Trade ins are all different. Some people trade because they dont want the craigslist killer showing up at their door. Some dont know how to market the vehicle. Some because their car is a lemon! Others because when you factor the retail value and difference in the tax amount you save when trading dont want to be bothered. Salesman do have a tough job and I respect that. However, many years ago I was trained by a dealer to sell the car for as much as possible. Higher profits to dealer and bigger commissions for salesmen. This practice still has not changed. Consumers now have the internet (available information) to go into a negotiation with a level playing field. I do not nor should anyone expect to buy any vehicle for a loss to a dealer. No business can survive that. However, burying someone in a major purchase like an automobile is just wrong! I always look at their exact cost including holdbacks and offer a $500.oo deal. That is fair on both ends. If they dont take it I find a dealer that will. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
