robiferretti said:You are incorrect. In the car industry you cant only sell cars to "steady customers". For a dealership that sells cars for $12,000-$50,000 to turn away a local customer willing to spend $240,000 in one shot, does that make me a likely "one time sale"? Also I am a special case, putting 30,000 miles a year on each car they will also be making $$$ on the service by earning me as a customer. Car dealerships aren't in business to pick and chose who they sell vehicles to, more volume, more service, more profit. The reason cars are sold under sticker is to gain a customer base, you don't do that by turning away money.
A general rule of business you adjust prices according to market conditions. If the guy down the street is renting the same cars as me and offering the same services for less, I drop my prices or lose the customers. Its not like they lose money selling cars at MSRP!
to answer your last 2 questions,
yes I can drive the cars when I want.
yes I do have free days to give away. (but only to steady customers)
Northern Bergen County is a very economically advantaged area which I'm sure you know due to your business. You are mistaken if you think that they don't have customers who are willing to pay over sticker. Which is what my point was.
I understand your thoughts but it is the area that drives the prices here. Once again I state simply.
Caveat Emptor.
PS, I know nothing about business practices since I have never owned a business. I do understand if I can get 2 bucks for something, why sell it for a buck.
If you are still interested in those cars, I can probably help.
