Hey Tommy!
Mr. Shammy has been waiting on a new car for a while now. Seems I keep spending his deposit money on vacations.
But it's something that we have to do pretty soon (although I've been pricing vacations again!).
He also works for a car dealer, Circle BMW in Shrewsbury, NJ, as a parts rep.
BTW...they have great internet pricing and I'm sure I could hook anyone that has a Beemer up with wholesale pricing on parts so just lemme know.
Anyhoo...he has his heart set on a Honda Element, and it MUST be the orange one!!! Must be or he doesn't want it. We've done alot of research, looked at the invoices and know the car buying game in and out. We're people who a dealer would NOT be making money off of!
We have walked into the dealership and told them that we will pay "X" amount for this car, take it or leave it and we are always fully prepared to walk out the door. We won't spend hours going back and forth with the whole "Let me run this by my sales manager" thing...that salesman we're dealing with knows what he can let that car go for and we don't like getting jerked around with all that nonsense.
Get where I'm comin from?
But we still are not 100% sure what we should go in and offer the guy flat out. He's looking for the top of the line model, the one with the sunroof, sticker price of $21, something something. Any ideas?
Now...I have also tried to get him to look at the new Scions, the XB model. Comes in orange too!
And yes, they do sort of resemble one of the cars the clown would pile out of at the circus so it fits him perfectly.
But he thinks it wouldn't have as much power (being a 1.4 liter engine and all) so he's a little timid about it. As I'm sure you know, they have a set pricing thing with the Scions so no wheeling or dealing allowed.
What are your thoughts buddy?
