Car theft and carjackings
Would immobilizing the battery with a shut off relay not disarm the alarm system? I think this relay should be installed on the starter. No starting engine. No shifting car into gear. No having to reset all your cars radio presets. -
C8 Prices below MSRP in the States
Yes he is. Original deal was locked in. Said with no price increase. BUT should there be more incentives, he would pass along the savings. This was Sept. 2020. We were well into COVID. Not pre covid. -
Replacement Insurance
So I called my Intact agent and was a little misinformed on my policy after getting the new quote for this year. Last year I was told I had REPLACEMENT insurance for 4 years. Which I understood, as did the agent, that when the car is a total loss, they buy me a new one at what ever MSRP is... -
C8 Prices below MSRP in the States
You might want to check on that to confirm. You could be right when it comes to Chevrolet. My Ford dealer on My20 F150. Knew I was paying cash. We worked out the deal way below MSRP. Deal was done. Truck was being built. Took 8 weeks. At delivery time salesperson told me he could save me... -
Question C8 Agreed value insurance question
So confusing. I just got off the phone with CAA. $1113 per year $2 million liability, $1,000 deductible based on $108,000. They call it, " Total Replacement ". Which means over the next 5 years they payout what you paid for it. In my case $108,000 total loss happens in the first or fifth year... -

I only have the one account. I only agree with the points Carbuff is making. But I like the way you think. Carbuff and I are one and the same. And car dealers having little wiggle room from MSRP. -
2024 Stingray dealer cost
UR2SLO. I totally understand you not wanting this to get out to the public. Not good when the cat gets out of the bag. If it’s the biggest load of crap? Bogus statements? Here are the facts. Where are your facts to your statement? Maybes ask yourself, how was I able to make $250, $800, $1250... -
2024 Stingray dealer cost
The 30% only the dealer Principle sees. I keep telling you. There are two sets of invoices. The invoice we as buyer see is what the salesperson gets. And that invoice only has PROBABLY a 15% margin from MSRP. As a buyer you want to get as close to the 85% of cost as you can. Some dealer will... -
2024 Stingray dealer cost
You're right, I do know first hand. As a salesperson I've made $3,000 commission @ 30% many times. Although not the norm. You can't make that kind of money on a $1750 gross! Some dealers sell for $500 over invoice and it would be a $250 commission min. deal for the salesperson. And I'm not... -
2024 Stingray dealer cost
C82NV listen to what carbuff says. 30% is dead nuts. Only the dealer principle seas that. Sorry for the miss spelling. Going on a cruise lol. Now the dealer has to have some wiggle room for negotiations. Most consumers have never heard of negotiations. They think when a dealer gives them... -
2024 Stingray dealer cost
This is exactly what I’m saying. My last 2020 FX4 MSRP was $62,000. I paid $52,000. That around 15% off MSRP. Most dealers, not all, have two sets of books. One for the principal and one for salesperson. This is what they call penciling the salesperson. We as salespeople made 30% commission...
