    Not that one! That one likely passed more grammar and spelling classes than the other one. :bananadead:

    @Stig and everyone. Better get all your online ordering in by Aug 1st, The UPS- Teamsters union just voted to go strike on that date.

    Interesting how exactly do they even make there money then? Aren't they just searching for vehicles and dealing with the same stuff we would. Never even really heard of auto brokers tbh.

    They can leverage a little stronger because of volume buying. If you are good at the table the middle man will cost you more money in the end, if not, they can be your strong arm. They can not offer "custom builds" that you can get at the dealer, but can get close models when they show up in the system.

    Zero overhead unlike Dealerships and with new cars they get exactly the same payment from Manufacturer. They will also find Used cars but they charge you a fee to do so.

    I considered having that put on but someone told me it wasn’t a good idea. So I scratched it.

    They are technically still paying the dealer overhead. They buy from dealer wholesale departments then sell you the consumer. They can not buy direct from the manufacturer. That is why I was saying, if you are good at the deal, you can get a better price from a dealer.
