Florida B.S. Thread

Another funny one is courtesy in Brandon, big ass black guy named big chief quoted me an otd price for trd sport dbsb, I told him I was coming in to buy it, he had his manager call me and manager said they can't sell it for that price they wanted 600 bucks more, I told them he had already quoted me for that price and I would only come in and write a check for that amount (I had capital one check, I'm actually really poor) they wouldn't sell it to me, so I'm always curious what the really make on a new vehicle, cause I don't believe any of that invoice crap

 

^^^4 to 6 k^^^

 

u think that's how much they make on a vehicle?

 

yes

 

JUST YOUR OLD JOE BLOW DEALER LOT COST ABOUT LETS SAY 1/4 OF A MIL. A MO JUST TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN.. Tell me you are shocked!!!

 

i'm actually not surprised, i just wanted to be sure that's what u meant, cause nobody will let the secret out, they like to tell u if they are selling 500 over invoice, they are only making 500, cause i've been so close to buying handful of vehicles, but the wouldn't work with me just a couple hundred, maybe i dont know the secret to business success, but i'd rather sell 100 vehicles with profit margin of 3K instead of 20 with profit of 4K

 

They have to keep them high or the sheep will be pissed if they find out what they really cost..Was with a pal at the Ocoee dealer lot in 02 he was looking for a taco. New black crew 4x4 was just coming off the truck, I said there is a nice one lets check it out, They cant sell them as new out there so they take the paper off the back window and lay it in the seat.. The price was 29,000 + tax on the paper it had 11 miles on it. dealer to dealer he got it for 23,000, + 1000 for the dealer. Watched the whole deal go down, He has the truck to this day...

 

btw robo02cop, how is truecar workin out for ya? supposed to no hassle right?

 

sweet!

 

Our 07 came from the same place, 6 mo. old 6 k on it. got it for 20400 + 2k for the dealer and TTT 22.400... 30 k truck 6 mo ago +TTT and what ever else they can shake you down for 500 to ship in to dealer paint prep. it goes on & on...

 

damn, that's pretty sweet jim, wish I woulda been on TW before i bought a truck

 

I has the Wholesale man, the only way Ill ever buy one myself, Never set food on a lot less its for something I can not fix myself!!

 

Know what the real tits is,,, I can sell it today for what I paid for it 4 years and 50k miles ago!!!!!

 

I am still working on it. The guy at Stadium sent me numbers last night on a dclb. We r about 1800 off. Went to Sun Toyota today and they told me they couldn't touch Stadium's price. Called Stadium and the guy I am working with has today off so we talked about 20 minutes ago and he is re-working some numbers and is going to get with me tomorrow. Probably gunna end up with a dcsb sport but its all good!!! I will keep u updated.

 

have you tried courtesy yet? their online pricing is pretty decent, and it's in writing, u can just go online, and their internet guy will send u a quote

 

No I haven't but I will see what numbers he comes back with tomorrow!!!

 

I would hold off till the 013 are on the lot, If they change the body they will be giving the gen 2 away... 7 years is time for a new dog on the block.. Got to have something to have the fam boys line up for!!! Jim

 

yea 2013 is right around the corner, BUT

however, i really doubt they're getting rid of the scoop, just renaming the package, just my opinion

 

I think a new body is coming it's time,, Im just hoping for a 400 hp 6 banger that gets 25 mpg...

 

they already said body is unchanged, but i thought it was long overdue
