Not quite, being in the business (or any Business)you would understand the average amount of discount a customer would get on their purchase, which means you price it up to begin with. If you are no longer discounting, you could put a keener price on upfront. The customer can then decide if your price is enticing or not.

The only downside for them is that their sales numbers will dwindle as a consequence as is already showing.

If you keep answering Fiji and asking him questions, he is more than entitled to keep posting... just saying.
Having said that, Fiji, once again, you've had your fun and it's time for you to take a step back. You are now just making the same point over and over again, just with some different words. |

You can accept it has something to do with it and I'll accept it may not be the sole reason, but come on..

A car dealership will not be a successful business if it simply just gives up competitive pricing without trying to use sales tactics - a philosophy that is so ingrained that it means manufacturers like Honda are trying to get away from it. It may very well be the way of the future but for now, the same dealership sales merry go round method when you have many buyers playing dealerships off against each other will continue.

We tried fixed pricing on our used car stock many, many years ago.
It worked there for a while and I really think that it would have kept working but buyers were going to our other dealerships (we had a few locations and were allowed to sell each other's stock) and buying the car off them for as little as $100 less. Some dealerships cut their own throats. |

Can still run your normal operation but you can do some online stuff - have a basic e-commerce platform under a different name from your primary business, worth a shot in this day and age? Just providing more options for those inclined to purchase down those channels to market. Quote:

How they find out sometimes is through their own sales staff that are lazy and point customers to the website. There have been plenty of dealerships that have opened up a generic yard and as hard as they have tried to keep the separation, the public have found out. EDIT: Very common for multi-franchises. Each franchise is run as a separate profit centre and at the end of the day, each manager is responsible for their own profit centre. If that means cutting the throat of one of their own, then so be it. Last edited by PG2; 14-08-2021 at 11:36 AM. |

Some sales staff will say the above. They will manipulate systems to get the sale. It's not ripping the customer off, as they are normally the beneficiaries. EDIT: I also tried to answer your added on question in your previous post in my previous post. |

Was screwed over regarding the Renault I was really interested in.
Not until final stages hear it's was a repairable write off (WOTR) Basically means very expensive to register and they should have said that to start with. Complete waste of time and in fact very deceptive. |

My mate has the Red Bull edition 265 Cup with ECU edit.
It's extremely fast. Mid 4 second car easy all for less than 20K. Would embarrass most cars (including Fords) ttriple that price Franco. |

If everyone pulled back on purchasing a new/used vehicle.This craziness would disappear very quickly.You would then have the good old overstock issue,dealers/manufacturers would then have to lower prices,put in incentives to move stock.Majority of dealers are just sharks anyway.

Please, you got it at that price because everyone else wanted the Sprint badge no matter how little more it provides. News flash everyone, wait until the car you want is no longer at the forefront of performance and get a discount..lol Who'd have thunk hey. |
