Sounds like a sales ploy. Make the would be buyer not want to let it slip through the fingers again and end up paying what the dealer wants. Tell her to put her best poker face on.
Boy oh boy!
So much for standing back.
The sales manager is probably still breathing heavy.
He got to promising a bit much and bragging up his crews conduct. Not knowing the prior events of the morning.
When he apologized profusely after being asked what I get out of loyalty , I asked what I get out of loyalty on my end out of his lack of loyalty? (This is my most recent dealer I bought new from . Really a good local-ish place believe it or not).
And where does he expect my next upgrade to come from? When he said I hope here , I asked , what do I get out of that? Does apologizing restore loyalty ?
He tried to say folks don't always carry out commitments. I asked for any example of my ever not doing so at his dealership. Any appointment...Anything. That is my reputation to be loyal too , in exchange for his...L.o.l.. And who's the one not commiting? Poor guy stalled out.
He gave hear a good price offer on her trade. Better than she would have demanded. The market is crazy enough apparently.
I'm no stranger to horse trading , but trading a used vehicle in on a used vehicle as a salesperson....I'd not be too enthused about.
Working out on our end though.
She about wore them out with her notebook of umpteen vehicles for sale.
Yes the market fluctuates. Not as much as she does though....
I'll be seeing mileage, models of vehicles , and trim levels , and price figures in my sleep now.
The sales manager will probably be seeing a certain angry customer not worth arguing with.
I don't remember how much he came down , but it stopped at a certain point. She'd told me before he showed up to say that was as low as he could go after prior figures.
I suggested she demand an air freshener to seal the deal but she didn't.
She'll get lots of goodies tomorrow though. (IF we're not barred from the dealership.)
