Default Les Stanford subtraction not adding up

Anybody else notice Les Stanford's subtraction when calculating 15% off?? But what's a G-note among friends?

Why not simply point it out to them, then?

I'm blocked from that part of the forum. Rules, I guess. No other reason. I tried to post there.

It’s too bad these guys weren’t more competitive since they’re only a 6 hour drive from me. Every time I’ve checked, their prices are higher than Kerbeck or MacMulkin.

I wasn’t able to close a deal with them either. Ended going out of state to purchase.

Curious as to why you would ask us and not them.

I was told there’d be no math involved in joining this forum...

Thank you for the comment MsEllie. We are in fact taking a full 15% off MSRP with no tricks or gimmicks. Where was it listed that the 15% off MSRP calculation was incorrect so I can fix that? I appreciate the feedback. Anyone can feel free to reach out to me directly at anytime in regards to pricing or putting a deal together. Even if your already dealing with someone else here I can get involved to get you your best deal to earn your business. We appreciate our Forum friends business and support.

Thanks again!

I get 12.8% on the one they posted in the dealer inventory area of the forum. It’s in their newest thread. Like the first post.

8,762/68,475 = 12.8%

68,475 - 58,203 = 10,272
10,272/68,475 = 15%

So it doesn't calculate out correctly the first way but does the second way.

.

Edit: haha. they fixed it while I was calculating. It's correct now.

The actual dollar discount off MSRP was incorrect but the final sale price listed was correct at 15% off MSRP like the ad states. Thank you for pointing that out, it has been corrected.

I leased my 2016 Stingray from Les Stanford (I dealt with Goran) and it was the easiest transaction I ever had and the deal was better then the other top 5 dealerships. I am now waiting for my 2019 GS to come in next month to Les Stanford. I have nothing bad to say about them and they really seem like straight shooters.The 15% off seems legit.

Hey James, it was just a mistake. I make a few a day. When I quit making them, I guess I will be flower bed fertilizer.

A mere human, I guess. I never make mistakes - they are features of my life.
