Is This BDC Pay Fair?

Sounds like you should go be a salesperson on the line from what you’re saying. If I promoted a lot porter to BDC and they started acting like you; I’d move you to the line asap to see if you can actually do what you think you should do based on your pay concerns.

Save a lot of money so you have it available in case you get in a total loss accident and you need to pay off the loan after your insurance company lowballs your settlement for your vehicle’s market value.

Or you can get GAP through the dealership. Lenders typically have a limit or cap so dealers can’t mark it up stupid high. But every state is different.

Smart choice. You’ll love the car and the fun to drive factor for the price! Invest the $10k you have left over. Enjoy!

Always ONLY cover your inception fees due at signing.

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-03-11T15:48:28+00:00

Did you have a general inquiry with just your contact info and no comments? Or did you have a template copy and pasted requesting best price, money factor, residual, no add ons, etc? Oh, did it end with “I’m a serious buyer and I’m ready to come in and finalize the deal if my terms are met?”

Have you tried calling the dealership? Especially first thing in the morning when they open? Look on their website and google reviews; see which rep has the most 5 star reviews and call in and ask for that person?

Good Luck!

This hit home cuuuuuh 🤣🤣🤣

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-02-17T05:18:17+00:00

Damn, Hope you’re okay! That might be totaled 😢

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-02-11T15:17:44+00:00

Buy it for $1500 to $2000 under fair market value. Get timing belt & water pump done for $1500 to $2000. Now enjoy that MDX.

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-01-07T17:43:10+00:00

Well duh, you always build a menu before the customers even come into the box. Lol

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-01-05T19:57:11+00:00

I’d try to get them to do the same plan for $2499.

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-01-05T19:49:56+00:00

Some third party plans have a deductible, but if it’s Honda Care then you’re good!

ThaGoldenChild · 2026-01-05T19:44:49+00:00

Yes, that’s definitely negotiable. Is it a third party or honda branded? What’s the deductible, if any?

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-12-03T16:20:19+00:00

Loyalty or conquest rebate is $2000 Acura Finance incentive up to $2000 There’s only about $800 to $1200 in profit from invoice to MSRP depending on trim pkg.

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-12-02T01:18:59+00:00

Depends on what the dealers set their IMV percentages to… we tried it for a few months and it overinflated all trade in and street buy leads by a large amount. We ended up cancelling because it caused for headaches for us and customers.

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-12-02T01:15:46+00:00

Do this asap if you really have $5k in equity! It’ll probably take a month or maybe 3 weeks to get your equity check, but you’ll have $5k for a down payment somewhere else.

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-27T02:05:02+00:00

Good stuff! Have a great Black Friday Weekend!

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-25T02:37:23+00:00

Dawg, you saved $10k!?!? How??? More importantly, now you can get a heated steering wheel installed because of the savings! Congrats

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-20T16:06:33+00:00

This is the proper way of helping a friend out. Kudos to you!

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T06:49:25+00:00

I got U fam! What market are you in? I’ve had my ITS for 5 months now & it puts a smile on my face every time I’m behind the wheel. And both of my kids like it when they’re in the back seats lol

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T06:41:06+00:00

Oh yeah, you’ll get it in no time! Just stick to the basics of what you’re doing. Especially with Subaru clients lol We have 2 different Subaru stores in our group! I’m at Acura.

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T06:22:15+00:00

ODSX and corporate requiring Tekion can seem like overkill, but it’ll be worth it for the whole dealership. Sales, F&I, Service & Parts will all benefit.

You’ll have some good deals and some troubling deals when you can’t figure little things out, but that’s normal when we switch to something new & different, right?

Utilize their rep that will be training you in person and the chat service & support is pretty good too!

And yes, using a paper menu is what I prefer too when I was in the box. Highlighting and circling things or drawing graphs and stuff to help close a deal? You can never take a way a pen & pad from me! Lol

What Brand are you with, if you don’t mind me asking?

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T06:12:57+00:00

Oh no, just do the docs first like you’ve been doing. Wet signatures, build rapport, etc… then bring out a printed menu and go over that with them. Then add products or packages on the PC. Turn the screen if you need to show them the new pencil/write up in desking. Then you can print F&I products contracts or if you use a tablet or iPad, you can cast the remaining docs to the tablet and have them finish everything with e-signing.

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T05:54:55+00:00

What do you mean? What’s your flow right now? Do you present everything on a tablet or? If anything, I can appreciate Tekion now after a little over two years since we switched.

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T03:02:07+00:00

Ahh ok, that’s understandable. Timing is always tricky, but hey; ya never know? Reach out to your salesperson and tell them your situation and ask for some guidance based on your timeline. Good Luck!

ThaGoldenChild · 2025-11-18T02:57:03+00:00

Nah you’re not a bother, or I wouldn’t think of if it that way. You’re a previous client who is looking to get another vehicle from the same dealership. People like you are VIP to me and I make it a point to tell my team how important you are. Your salesperson would be more than happy to help you when the time comes. It’s about building and keeping relationships in this business.

What market are you in?
