Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I know its not bad. Just a case of sticker shock. Looking on line to make sure i had the part correct, all the Toyota parts sites want about a $1.30.
I ordered them anyway. They will have them tomorrow.

 

Most sites will also charge you $12 to ship 2 bolts.

 

Fun level in this thread this morning: 0

 

Try ordering UCA bolts. Usually right around $10-$12. Had a parts guy try to charge me $28 for 1! After I'd bought the same bolt 6 months prior for $11 from the same counter. Tried to BS me about parts increasing in price and yadda yadda, I ordered online for about $12 and thats right around when I stopped buying parts from dealers unless I cant get it anywhere else

 

i remember customers like you

 

Puh. Prices dont double in half a year. Especially when online prices remained the same

 

actually Toyota updates their prices quite often. But usually if the salesman wants to or knows how to, can cut the price down. They probably just threw out the bumped price and refused to back down to List. Ive always believed a sale at employee cost at worst case scenario, is better than no sale.

 

But if the customer is an ass or being a super douche canoe, i tell him i cant budge on price.

then they usually tell me how they can go get it at Kragen for half the cost. I always encouraged him to do so then.

 

Thats pretty much how I felt. I've dealt with enough parts guys at dealers before, I know theres usually a little wiggle room. But to straight up tell me no despite me showing half the price online, puh, enjoy your lack of sale

 

he is probably just hourly, not a % of the profit. I thankfully was paid salary and 1% of months end Profit total. So every sale mattered to me.

 

Yep. I used to be the nice guy thats just trying to get a part for my truck, and i trusted dealers. Then I got the shaft often enough and realized what swindlers the majority of them are

 

well there ya go

I'm glad I have friends and family at the dealer. Employee cost is always better.

 

usually cost +10%

anybody use knockoff LED bars? been eyeing some on Amazon since I have $30 in giftcards there

 

The one guy who has LEDs like crazy is running all knock off bars from Amazon.

Can't remember his name, but his sig shows his truck with all his lights running and it's absolutely ridiculous.
