And the 1% garbage. I think the community does a good job of calling this Bs out.
My favorite recently is that EVERY BMW demo in EVERY region has to be 20% off or walk

Wow!!
2018 3 series in SoCal with lease support ending in a week? Yeah 20% off there makes sense.
2020 X5 in Wisconsin? 
I totally love that graphic and think it would be perfect for a “RATE MY DEAL” thread. 
In theory.
In reality, 800 people will pile on to see their comment on the internet that the deal sucks, and the thread will get derailed
And sometimes more
“I got 23% off but walked cause my money factor was bumped .00010. The nerve!”

Yeah at some point the discount has already offset the MF markup.
I’m very guilty of perpetuating this before I learned what the average write downs actually were.
Will it stop me from trying anyway? No. But I will use this information gained to temper expectations when I’m hired to make a deal happen as I prefer to under-promise and over-deliver. It’s just good practice.
