Mike is thinking up a crafty and humorous reply to type from a burner account of his own Boston_Car_Concierge. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Some may not like this idea, but if the Carnivals are too expensive why not just buy a used Chrysler Voyager (fleet Pacifica)? Plenty out there in the 20s. Ok value.

Who are you? A broker? I’m trying to understand the context of your statement.

Not everything is political/philosophical, especially given the facts here. Some people are just trolls.

I posted in the coffee thread after it was created. It was a joke about coffee brokering

Yeah, didn’t know the context.

What’s up with broker fees these days? It’s really hard to rationalize paying a $1k fee basically just for a dealer contact on a 12% loaner discount. I can understand most brokers who incrementally increase their fees year over year. I can also somewhat understand charging more depending on the brand or whatever. But it bothers the hell out of me when a random deal gets posted with an exorbitant fee attached to it. Yes it’s called capitalism, I know I know. But it still seems at least marginally unethical to charge more for the same amount of work. Maybe I’m wrong idk

Something is worth what someone is willing to pay. If brokers are getting their pockets full at certain prices, why should they be charitable?

If the value being offered doesnt match the fee, vote with your wallet.

This is very true. But in my personal opinion, a $1k broker fee is astronomical for something like a 12% discount on a loaner car. If someone is willing to pay that, more power to the broker, I agree.

I can’t argue with you, but if someone is willing to pay it, good for the broker.

Become a broker on this site and post 12% off loaners for $599 and take all the business
