Dealer Wont Deal???

Hey, your 370's move quickly, thus you don't need to floor them. I understand the economy is slow, thus you gotta wheel 'n deal. But when there's all this hearsay about 370's blowing out at or below invoice, then the seed will be planted in everyone's head, especially on this site, that 370's are as common and easy to steal as loss leaders--this is not true.

C'mon, how many times did your dealer do the bait and switch w/ the loss leaders? And let's be honest, I worked at a few stores where they straight out lied about the loss leader already being "sold." A Ford store I worked at got caught when some customer who had suspicions called the DMV on when de facto it wasn't.

When I worked @ Penske Chevy/Cadillac (now it's Massey Chevy/Cadillac in Downey,CA), this guy came in wanting a new C5 Vette. The sticker was like $46,000 then. He wanted $500 + invoice, and he had his preapproval from the credit union. My sales manager politely told him that Vettes sell @ sticker, and nothing less. The guy complained and said a nearby Chevy dealer would do it. Then my salesmanager said, "Ok, then buy, it's a good deal." This same jack-off visited our store several times sporadically throughout the year--too good to be true.

In Los Angeles, they won't whore out 370's. I got mine for $2,000 below MSRP and was HAPPY! They tried to do the hackneyed but non-existent "Scotch guard plan" that added $20/month to my 48 mo. contract, but I asked, "what is this extra $960 you're charging me for?" I got a 800+ Experian, 2 paid off autos, student loans, etc. I'm with B of A @ 5.9% for 48 months, but I'm gonna switch to my credit union at 3.9% (unless this offer expires).
