Are too many newbies expecting a unicorn-type deal?

I know someone who had been looking for 12% off on a Volvo for a few months couple of years ago, before settling for 10.5%. :wink:

A lot of it boils down to people not willing to accept the realities of the changing market while wanting to lease cars that they couldn’t afford to begin with. How dare is the dealer tell me they can’t replicate a deal today that they made as a one off during a bad month 3 years ago! It’s an outrage! Somehow public in general understands buyer’s market / seller’s market when it comes to real estate, but not when it comes to anything else.

Had a guy asking for 20% + all rebates and last month’s MF on an ETron. I’ve never wanted to hang up on someone as much as that.

I am sorry Hershey, did I go overboard when I also asked for some free chocolate?

I’d like 10% off MSRP and base MF for a Range Rover Sport please. You also have that employee PIN you can throw in? Oh you’ll take care of shipping too, right?

:rofl::rofl::rofl: (being very facetious here)… :grin::grin::grin:

PM me your address I have pounds of Hershey’s chocolate I legit need to get rid of. I also have a few boxes of defective truffles from my neighbors business. I have a pound sitting on my desk rn. I’m only half joking. You ever stick your gloved hands in a 15lbs box of defective Reese’s cups that have been crushed?

Sure, 30k floor mats.

TBF, he gave me a pretax payment and cited a California deal for a lower trim that would by my math taken 19% off with his incentives and regional cash (even though I have 1k more than NJ).

Regional cash is higher in NJ, but CA has the extra $1500 from CA, no?

He did his homework, 20% off from a loaner in 2020, rebates from all sources whether qualifying or not. Last month’s MF. He clearly waiting for all of these things to exist at some point. It’s not his fault as a consumer that you are not competent enough as a seller to combine all of these clearly possible things into a deal now.

CA gets a regional and CCFR (or at least they did last time I checked)

One of the oddest comments I have seen on LH, ever.

It was food service. Baking :slight_smile: Hershey+Sweet remember?

I don’t have NJ programs so I won’t go into it.

@Bostoncarconcierge No cupcakes for you.

In my years in the food service industry, I never went shoulder deep into a box of Reese’s

Not one single cocoa bean harmed in all 15 pounds of busted PB cups though, and sanitary to boot.

I have absolutely overpaid for things I wanted then and now. I didn’t follow that immediately by posting on a message board, whose topic is about getting those things as cheaply as possible, asking if I overpaid (and by how much).
