[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1849050, member: 42463"] LOL... I've worked for four dealerships, all GM, and one a cash buyer for the vehicles they sold while the others floored vehicles. Fleet sales handled similarly but differently by each one. Sorry if I insulted you by stating what I've experienced differently. And I've met people in dealerships that were honest, but I've never seen an owner that didn't either hire someone to manipulate customers to make sales and did it themselves, some more and some less. The thing is... the dealerships have inside information that the customer doesn't. That's typical of many businesses. People in the business generate strategies they use on thousands of customers... and the customer only buys one vehicle every few years... so the dealerships have the advantage in every way possible. They don't tell their customers how a vehicle that's been on the lot for over 90 days can be negotiated, or that vehicles have "hold-backs" which guarantee the dealership a profit even when they advertise a vehicle at "below invoice"... or a customer bothers to negotiate a deal for a significant discount. I've seen too many people hurt with the full knowledge of dealerships to think highly of them. But your milage may vary. [/QUOTE]
