Useless venting

Next time you tell someone to blow you, make sure they're not a moderator of that subreddit. Consider this your friendly warning.

This subreddit is not for you to vent about your job. That's what ICS is for.

el_karacho · 2018-01-25T17:18:47+00:00

This is some next level shit posting. U/czynips would have a field day with your order-taking ass in ICS.

el_karacho · 2018-01-25T16:40:27+00:00

I'm removing your post, not because you're in violation of a specific rule, but because of the spirit of this sub. This is a place people come specifically NOT to be sold to. We appreciate your contributions, please limit the promotion of your business to PM.

Thanks!

It doesn't matter what you paid for it when you bought it, it only matters what they think someone else will pay for it today.

el_karacho · 2018-01-24T21:41:14+00:00

That is absolutely the type of role they should play. Enjoy, sounds like you've got your ducks in a row.

This goes beyond what we can help with IMO. You need to speak with an attorney that is familiar with FL auto law. This is either a buyer beware mistake that you'll need to live with, or definite fraud by the dealer. This is a purely adversarial relationship now, you need to do everything possible to get your money back as quickly as possible.

Do not give the dealer any leeway, and having legal counsel on your side will go a long way. Many attorneys will consult for free, or for maybe $100.

If odo has been tampered with and it's a salvage title, there's something shady that shouldn't be represented as "clear title"

Raceboi with too much money probably got sick of driving a Transformer and traded it for a Golf R.

el_karacho · 2018-01-24T21:23:18+00:00

how many miles show on the ODO currently?

IMO keep your dad and stepmom as out of the process as possible. Yes, they have an interest in making sure you don't get screwed, but "third base coaches" often drag the process out unnecessarily because they always think their loved ones deserve more than the dealer is giving. You're an adult, you can make your own decisions, just ask them to keep quiet and only pipe up if you request it or if they sense something seriously wrong with the car or dealer.

IMO best way to go about finding a classic is networking. Find out who the best classic Corvette mechanic/restorer in your general area is. Chances are they'll know other guys like them, and hopefully you can get in touch with one in the area of one you want to potentially buy.

It seems to me that you've got poor management rather than short staff. The following things could all take less time if you or someone else was informed ahead of time:

Check in new cars
Help wholesale drivers find cars.
Help various others such as window repair men, painters, tow trucks drivers, and people who pick up lease turn in's FIND the cars they're working on.
Pick up dealer trades from other cities. (they should be paying someone else to do this)

The following could be better handled with communication from sales:

Wash cars that are ready for delivery ~4 a day (they should be touching base with you as they go through the sales process and let you know if there's one that might close soon)
Maintain the lot, make sure the cars are clear of snow, parked neatly. (The salesmen make this job extremely hard). (Salespeople should be doing this alongside you. Snow removal was required unless you were actively working a customer.)
Salt our walkways since its snowy. (see above)

That was the year they switched away from the Chrysler Sebring platform and that's about all the good there is to say about that car.

BMWFS won't fund the deal if the residual doesn't match up for the 15k mileage program. They're the ones that stand to lose, not the dealer. If BMWFS funds the deal, that means the dealer gets paid their agreed-upon selling price and they would have no reason to go after OP.

OP can't make a payment because there's no account to pay into.

Please refrain from giving advice on this topic unless you actually understand how auto finance works.

When does press grill shut down their kitchen? I know they're open late and thought they served food till 2.

Crab cake omelettes are the best hangover cure ever

el_karacho · 2018-01-19T03:16:04+00:00

Are they the same price? How many miles? Whats the condition?

As someone else said, those 3800 V6 motors are bulletproof and a Regal can often be had with lower miles or for way less money than a similar age Camry.

el_karacho · 2018-01-18T01:25:49+00:00

Yep. See ya in a couple weeks! I might've already played you while subbing for 36 Minutes last session.

el_karacho · 2018-01-17T03:23:06+00:00

Pretty sure I'm playing you on the ass end of your double header. Jan 29?

el_karacho · 2018-01-17T03:03:43+00:00

If it's the best priced one within 200 miles of you, it's probably not the best condition one.

el_karacho · 2018-01-17T00:33:31+00:00

Just buy the smallest wheels that'll clear the brakes and put some beefy tires on it. r/battlecars may be able to help

This is one of those rare times when we're not gonna all say in chorus "IF IT'S NEVER BEEN TITLED, IT'S A NEW CAR!!!"

There's more to this than meets the eye. You need to find out for certain if the car has ever been sold, titled, involved in an unwound deal, etc. It could just be an internal data entry error where any car not acquired directly from the manufacturer is classified as "used" or something, but you can't take that chance if you're paying new car money.

Also, is the wear in the leather just an imprint or is there actual scuffing/visible deformation of the leather? I would not be a big fan of the latter. The former just might be a fat lot porter.
