SaggioWRX Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Have any deals on a White 2011 GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohmer1 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Good deals, but the OP sounds like a huge douche. Not a good idea to come on here and cause a stir. What you should have done is taken the hint and had your dealership pay for vendor status just to be safe. If I were your manager, your comments would have had you fired, hoss.

johnnymack Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 First off, I said your dealership. Not you. And while you said you don't make any money off it, it's in your best interest to have cars moving off your lot. Whether it's because it's a car that's been sitting there for a long time unable to sell (my guess is that's the case here), or because you guys are desperately trying to reach your month-end sales quota for any possible bonuses from Subaru....having cars move from your lot makes you a more 'successful' dealership. Sure, selling at a loss is not something you'd want to do daily. However, if it allows that LGT to be removed from your lot (at a loss), you can pull in better selling vehicles that can be sold for profit and much quicker...then it's a no brainer. You take the hit, as it benefits the dealer in the long run. As for coming onto a Subaru message forum and insulting the intelligence of the community, that's a brilliant move. Especially after you've "advertised" who you are. I simply pointed out that you might want to check into a vendors account as that is what is required for vendors (like yourself) to sell things here. Look how well Grayson Subaru does on this board. Has probably sold over 50 cars just from advertising specials on this board alone! But you had to come back with a "I'm not here to make money" comment, which while you're main focus here may not be to sell vehicles, part of that focus now is (seeing as you're a sales manager and you've made this post). If it's one thing I've learned about sales people over my 15 years of working with them, it's that they're "always on". Always angling for a sale at any point, at any time if they see the opportunity. Anyway, I'm done here. But when you boil it down, you're a sales manager who works at a dealership, and you've posted about selling cars here. IMO, that means you're a vendor, and require vendor status. But again, just my opinion. Best of luck to you and your dealership. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniStiGuy Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 First off I'm salary based. Secondly do you honestly think we are still making money at $3,400 UNDER invoice?? I thought Subaru owners were supposed to be intelligent... I also thought they were nice I coulda stayed with the BMW crowd for this type of arrogance lol I resent the fact that you mock our intelligence and can only say that based off how you fail to recognize the fact that you are trying to vendor merchandise for your dealership only leads to one conclusion that not only are you clueless but you are obviously not very intelligent. I would venture to guess that you are just some loser with a highschool diploma that can't make anything of himself so he got into sales lying to people and giving false promises while you go up higher on the evil totem pole of sales.

Jacks GT Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Can you explain how your dealership is not making money from the sale of a car? I am a Sales Manager for a Hyundai dealership. We give shit away at our expense all the time. Sometimes you have to take loss to move old aged units. Keep in mind that, that price is probably including factory rebates/incentives so the dealer is maybe taking a $2000 or $1000 loss instead. Also alot of time the factory will not send you new model year product until you move last years. With the 11's just hitting the floor that may well be the case. Think about it. Edit: Buuut, if you're in Cali and are considering this car, why not wait a month and a bit for the 2012 Hyundai Sonata Turbo? You don't need that AWD, its cheaper, much better looking, has a better warranty and gets far more MPG! Oh and it's more powerful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 here comes the kill shot on the Hyundai.... "The 2.0T will be available in both SE and Limited trims and is paired exclusively with a six-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters."

Jacks GT Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm still a Subaru guy, looking for the right GT or XT right now actually. Tranny is shit too, real slow shifting. Not sure if it has hit the press yet but the next Genesis will be AWD with a 5.0 V8 with 429horsepower, now thats gna be the car t have stick or not.

Kodax Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 On a serious note, that is a pretty good price for a GT. I might have just bought it if the dealer was closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaque8 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 ^Ha, sounds like you weren't very good at it... I love how seriously everyone these forums takes themselves. Get a life people! If this thread was agaisn't your sacred forum rules then have a moderator take it down!! Or ban it... but just stop bitching LOL You all act as if the automotive world would stop turning if you precious enthusiasts weren't around!! But here is the honest Truth... you make horrible customers! You think "profit" is an evil word... Which is why I have no interest in being a vendor on forums :0) And why I only post on here such an amazing deal that you cheap bastards might actually say thank you :-P BTW if you can't sense the sarcasm in that last joke then you have no hope at all... I'll continue to sell Outbacks and Foresters to soccer moms and college grads thank you very much... I know you'll say "oh so you can just lie to them and rip them off!!" But $500 over invoice on a 2011 Limited Outback is not ripping people off, that's my internet pricing and it's a good deal to both parties, or $500 below invoice on a Forester. But if I were selling a Forester to an "enthusiast" you wouldn't stop until every penny of potential profit is gone.... are you starting to see the point?? The car business is rapidly changing but it doesn't look like many of you make it outside much to notice ;-) And Yeah yeah everyone has a good caresalesman joke and knows how bad salesman are, worse then politicians and lawyers... they're just soooooo evil boo hoo. Truth is 99% of you would swap paychecks with them in a second... ;-) I make 6 figures and I LOVE MY JOB! How many of you can say that?? But seriously I'm perplexed that this thread hasn't been shut down... By people's reaction you would've thought I was committing a crime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbrjason Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I make 6 figures and I LOVE MY JOB! How many of you can say that?? Really trying to drive home the DB impression huh? First off I'm salary based. Six figure salary based internet car sales sounds 100% honest. Plenty of people ACTUALLY make 6 figure incomes doing what they love. There are also plenty of people who would jump out the window if they only made 6 figure incomes in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseH Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Let's clear the air of a few items. Every vendor/salesman/etc should have an ability to make some profit. Otherwise they go out of business, period. Second, dealerships make money on transactions. Period. They do not make money when product sits. My firm does auto dealerships as our primary niche. We see the factory incentives, holdbacks, etc that come thru, regardless of price. You are not losing $3000 on this car. Are you making $3000 less profit than normal? Maybe. So let's keep everything in the open. You are here to try to sell cars. You are offering a fair price on your car to a base of enthusiasts. You also have to expect these enthusiasts to be a harder short term sell, due to their knowledge. But, the long term benefits of dealers who treat the forum fairly are well rewarded with ongoing sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
