Default Funny story...

Hey everybody!

I have a buddy who works at a Ford dealership...I was telling him about how I just got put on a waiting list for a Z06. He asked how much over MSRP was I going to pay...I said I was told I would be at or below MSRP. He then referenced a customer he had a couple years ago that he sold a new Thunderbird to at $18,000 (yes...$18,000) over MSRP!!!!

Wow...I wonder how the guy likes his Thunderbird these days??? ha ha


Just a funny story I thought ya'll might enjoy!


Have a GREAT weekend!

It sure is funny, especially when the dealership tells you to pound sand about getting it at MSRP when they finally have it in their hands!!!

Jim,

Sounds like you don’t have a written contract, so if and when your car comes in; expect some sales guy at the Chevy store to do the same thing to you that your buddy did to the T-bird guy!

That’s another reason why I won’t pay a penny over MSRP; I couldn’t stand to see the low life, bottom feeding salesman gloat as to how he screwed me!

The bottom feeder is not the car sales guy. Look in the mirror Jim. Recongize him?

You sound a little defensive; you wouldn’t be a car salesman would you? Na, a car salesman would never cheat and hold 5 Aces….
