Just an observation but wanted to share. I posted a G80 electrified deal I found on 10/18 and several LH members DM’d me about it. I was happy to pass along info but the car its still on the dealers site. One member told me they reached out and the dealer said could not do the deal I had posted.
The answer seems obvious but I thought I’d ask anyway for perspective - when a dealer starts getting a bunch on inquires on the same car do they then stop discounting because they think they have a hot commodity?
Especially when there’s a unique spec, like a left over 2023, the community will search for anything that fits that description nationally and spam the dealers. sometimes it leads to other deals but it can also ruin them. Amazingly they also will try to backdoor brokers to avoid a fee.
Not always though… usually these great deals the dealer just wants it gone.
I genuinely think the 13/10K deals made dealers in SoCal cocky about their precious ioniq inventory after I sent them 100+ deals in 2 days a dealer called me and told me that people were printing our Leasehackr listing and using it to negotiate. Maybe same thing happened with this Genesis deal.
To those who are curious I am one of those people who reached out. The dealer said they won’t be able to get the exact quote because I’m from a different state (NJ), which apparently has higher state fees/taxes combined compared to what was offered to @brunot99. Maybe they lied, I’m not sure, but the dealer experience was horrible from the start. First, they denied ever coming up with such a quote. Once I showed them the deal a few days later, they changed the narrative to state taxes and fees. I would much rather out this dealership if @brunot99 allows it, so that everyone else knows to avoid them in the future. They’re very scammy
You drove the interest up in a car they were willing to let go to one specific buyer.
You caused the deal to fail.
If someone offered you an offer for an item and suddenly everyone starts messaging you about it, it will be normal for you as a seller to take the highest bid and see if someone wants to pay a bit more for it.
