so it's not the guy's problem that he can't tell that the woman that he is daying doesn't like him but is on the "marriage plan"?
here is a sencerio..100% true too. when i sold cars like 8 years ago, this couple came in.. they didn't even come in, they were getting their old changed, and i was in a particularly good mood that day and I was talking to them right when we opened one Saturday morning, and I noticed that they had a car, that i had a client in particular was looking for that exact make and color used car with only like 14k miles on i, 3 years old. I said jokingly "you HAVE to trade that car in like today" and I told them "i have client that will buy that car by noon if you trade it in, pick something out we will give you the deal of a lifetime". i was bull****ting.. actually i wasn't, i really did have the client, but i didn't expect them to jump at it, but they said well let us look around. the wife falls in love with a burnt orange miata on the lot. it was a new car but it was a year old we had it on the lot for lke 500 days, there was an additional 3k incentive to get rid of the car, we called it dealer cash. anyway, they REALLY like this car and I say hell take it for a spin.
of course, absolute perfect credit, car has like 3k of equity in it because they don't drive it and they put money down.. and ot make matters worse, they are so hap9py now, they drive home, go get a used like 95 buck regal with like 88k miles on it, it was worth like 1500 dollars or something, just to get the note down more. they had already sold themselves on the car.
now the sticker on the car said, like 28k for this miata, off the top of my head 28k for 60 months with no money down is going to be high 400's in the payments. they didn't' see how they could afford that. they were paying like 389 at the time. I told them look, if i can get you out of here with that same payment would you take the car. they said hell yes.mind you.. i have 3k dealer cash, so even if i sold it at invoice we made 3k.. they had like 2k in equity in the car, the 1500 dollar trade in.. but i still wasn't done. I had the taxes included at like 395 a month and we were making like 8k in profit just on the car. that's a hell of a deal. STILL wasn't done lol. I went out there and got them to not only go up to 415 a month but to stretch the payment out for 72 months,... BOOM HEAD SHOT LOL
13 THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR DEAL. they wouldn't even tell me how much money we made until they left because they were afraid i'd blow it lol. I made 4300 dollars off that car deal. that was my check off that car deal. and funny thing is, they loved me to death lol.
my point in saying that story was.. is it my fault for doing my job? My job ther eis to maximize the stores profit. My job is not to look after clients. It's a dog eat dog world and while I want my clients to be happy, I really did, I have to put food on the table.
These girls, this is their job to so speak. woman's purpose is to find the best mate they can. doesn't mean they have to actually like the guy. that's our job to figure out.
ps- i forgot, no more than 2 hours after they left i had the other client come in and buy the tra ein, and made another 700 off that. then turned around and sold 2 more cars to another couple later that afternoon, hell of a day that day
