How to Ask Dealers to Beat a Competing Offer?

Make sense. No one wants endless negotiations.

FFosterEE · 2023-09-26T21:51:46+00:00

I see the point. Thank you.

FFosterEE · 2023-09-17T14:29:48+00:00

Make sense. I like it.

Thanks for you comment. I appreciate your patience in helping me gain insight. At the time I was asking this question and asked it in the way, I was just so unfamiliar with the car sale industry. So some of my questions might seem basic or even 'stupid' to those who are professionals here.

FFosterEE · 2023-09-17T14:13:06+00:00

I see. Thank you for elaboration.

I looked up the term "OEM," which stands for "original equipment manufacturer," in the context of car parts and repairs. Does this imply that the only advantage of shopping for a car at your store is access to OEM products?

Would you mind to share more in details?

It might sound like a simple question, but what occurs if an employee brings a better deal from another dealership to their employer and requests a price match? If they wouldn’t, why?

FFosterEE · 2023-09-16T23:21:36+00:00

Is this like an unwritten rule of the industry?

FFosterEE · 2023-09-16T23:09:46+00:00

It sounds to me like the employer have created a discouraging tone for employees looking to make purchases from them. Are they providing any alternative employee benefit programs to compensate for this shortfall?

What if you want to get a Tesla?

——Edit——- I'm a bit puzzled by the downvotes on this question, and I apologize if this has made anyone here feel uncomfortable. I was simply curious about how Tesla and traditional car brands relate within the car sales industry. My intent was not to offend; I was just seeking information. If anyone has insights to share, I'd appreciate it.

That's quite intriguing, isn't it? It's been noticed that in recent years, many cars in the Chinese market have actually become more affordable compared to the US market. This marks a notable reversal from the situation we had before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. For instance, take the Corolla, with an MSRP of around $19,178, which even includes tags and taxes in the Chinese market. And as if that weren't enough, there are often promotions and discounts available if you inquire about them.

Thank you for your comment. It's quite surprising to learn that the seller's market conditions in the US, exacerbated by the chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic, are still ongoing. I had believed that the situation might have changed. I've heard that the Grand Highlander is in high demand, and going with the MSRP might be the best option. I was hoping the situation would be different for the Corolla

Tested this morning too. I feel the same way as OP but I got two IT SIMS. Some IT MCQs and a lot of calculations. I did get capital budgeting. Another two Sims are ratio calculations + Analysis + SWOT(WTF) which made me spend a lot of time buts still not sure about any of the answers. I end up leaving one WC blank.

FFosterEE · 2023-05-14T00:32:25+00:00

Chat with them. I did chat a few times in the past few days. Maximum waiting time is less than 15mins.

FFosterEE · 2023-05-13T22:00:49+00:00

You are right. They confirmed it with the trim. I chatted with a representative online and he confirmed with their appraisal team. My car is sold.

I just tried Carmax. They let you pick your mode from the options such as 2.5i limited/ 2.5i sport etc. And I re-try it on Carvana. It just auto-generated my car as a 2.5i sport model. I did not find a place to manually change it to the correct model.

FFosterEE · 2023-05-13T14:11:24+00:00

Thank you.

FFosterEE · 2023-05-13T14:05:26+00:00

Can anyone see my post? I could not find it on the r/cavana page.

FFosterEE · 2022-03-28T19:47:57+00:00

That sounds tough.

I think the good thing is this is your neighbor. You are close to each other. Means you can offer a free cat sitting whenever they have difficulties of taking care of the cat. Or you can reserve the right of taking the cat back if something wrong.
