    smoke and mirrors

    you negotiate on clothing? no

    you negotiate on most consumer purchases? no

    you comparing apples to apples? no

  2. So you don't want to negotiate for your purchases.

    Which leads me back to the question I asked, which you never answered:
    why aren't you buying Saturn?

  3. a "slime-ball" is a slime-ball no matter what spin you put on the
    situation.[/QUOTE]

    Is that your world? All black and white? EVERY car salesman is a
    slimeball.

    So let me ask you: when he moves to selling men's shirts in the
    department store, is he still a slimeball?

  4. "by tacking on extreme profit"?

    You don't get out much, do you?

    The invoice number is pure fantasy. The sticker number is pure fantasy.
    The car is worth what someone will pay for it, period. The dealer finds
    that number as best he can. His job is not to leave money on the table.

    That's his JOB.

    If someone is willing to pay $26,000 for an Si, why shouldn't the dealer
    get that?

    Who *cares* what the sticker says? It's all fantasy, and has nothing to
    do with the selling price.

    You're just an idiot who doesn't like to negotiate, who thinks that
    everything should be black-and-white on pricing.

    How do you buy a house, anyway? I guess it doesn't matter, since you
    don't have enough money to buy one or income to support it.

  5. But going the other way is OK with you, I suppose.

    It's OK for GM to offer $15K in "discounts" and "rebates" on slow
    selling, overpriced, leather-bound trucks, right?

    You've just shown yourself. You'll be happy to BE the slimeball who
    won't pay the sticker price but demands $15K UNDER--gee, after all,
    that's just what that truck is worth, it was "overpriced" to begin with,
    right?--but you don't like OTHERS to be the "slimeballs" who charge OVER
    that fantasy sticker price if that's what the car is worth.

    So why aren't you railing at everyone for not buying those GM trucks at
    sticker price? After all, isn't that how the consumer knows what the
    value of the car is? Why are those consumers leaving those cars on the
    lot in droves, forcing GM to come up with these huge rebates? Isn't the
    sticker price the value of the car?

    Yer an idiot.
