Eh, no point. While someone buying it would be stupid, listing it for that price is a perfectly good move. I don't think he'll get that much for it, but he may get 23-25k for it, and he'll have still made a tasty profit. Supply and demand, yo! Someone will eventually cave in and decide they can't wait months for a nice Legnum to arrive, and they'll decide the cost difference is tolerable. Always happens.
yep Im one of the impatient ones and purchased my car off the lot, had the cash so thought why not!! Thanks to guys like me, the value of your guys cars is on the up.........
i spoke to this guy today, he still hasnt actually got the car yet should have complianced finished mid next month, it has 47,000km's and is a manual not auto like it says in the info
he said price isnt set but he wants allot, i said i was wanting to spend around $15,000 and he said i would be lucky to find anything for that price.
anyway i think that was all that was needing to be explained most things you can see from the pics
No, I don't think there is a quota, but these people do need to pay for their overhead costs. Like the rent, electricity, water, advertising, licensing fees, and on and on and on.
That's exactly how I feel - everyone expects to pay a premium when buying from a dealer but why can't they be honest? They are providing a service by supplying "drive away" cars, and do save you a lot of painful waiting so a reasonable markup if justified.
But most continually live up to the stereotype of "dodgy car salesman" - it's sad.
Ok, here is the inside scoop. I worked for a new car dealer, a very large one at that. During my first (and only) week, I had an older guy try to teach me the tricks and rules of selling new vehicles.
Do you know what his first words or wisdom were?
"you are here to fuck everyone"
It was at that point that I knew I had made a mistake and that I never wanted to end up living like he did with that sort of attitude towards other human beings. Sales is one thing, thinking that is another.
If the mark up is reasonable, its ok i think - as has been said, dealers have rent, advertising etc to cover, plus you are getting the convienience of not having to wait 3-5 months for the car to roll up (more in some peoples case)
That car looks pretty good, if its the one i think it is then i think he would be within is rights to be asking ~22k
