    Buying a car?

    At least for the Honda, what it does is retard your throttle response, remap the shit points for the transmission (up shift quicker, down shift slower) and cycles your A/C on and off more. When you floor it, it over rides the econ mode so you can still get out of the way if you are in an unsafe...

    Californication

    Burn down his apartment, follow him out to LA and then try and kill both of them. Yep. Totally his fault. As for the premise of this season, I think it has potential. Better than last season anyway.

    Buying a car?

    They bought the designer from Audi. I would hope they look good And I agree. Jap cars used to be the best no questions. Now things are a lot tighter competition.

    Buying a car?

    And more importantly, posting my dealer number wouldnt prove how much I make which was your original bullshit claim. So please tell me how that proves anything. Back to my original statement, do you accept the ban bet or do you shut the fuck up?

    Buying a car?

    As a rule I don't post personally identifying i formation on the internet. Posting my paystub and blocking out my info isnt. Posting my dealer number with the rest of the info I posted is. How hard is that to understand?

    Buying a car?

    What part of I just moved markets do you not understand? You don't think I make that money, I try to say I can prove it, you fight it and cry. Either accept it, bet it, or shut the fuck up. Top salesman moved across country. I have been top salesman 2 out of the 3 full months I have been here...

    Buying a car?

    20 cars a month is 10k a month. Ever heard of Rick Hendrick? He owns the Charlotte market. Not a volume dealership at all.... Fucking moron.

    Buying a car?

    No dipshit try to read. I said they price match. All of the places i worked for price match. I didnt say they offer net net pricing up front. As for the typical salesman shit, I told other people on this board how to get the best price for a car. Holy fuck you are stupid. Fix my computer or...

    Buying a car?

    And which part of those handle sales and more importantly parts sales? IT and DMS is all backend and Carmax retail you don't negotiate at all and you certainly don't handle service/parts. Good work telling me about sales though. Really impressed with your credentials and all but that has nothing...

    Buying a car?

    Depends on a TON of factors but dont pay more than 4% unless you are buying something really old. Money is cheap right now. Post more specifics and I can give you a better idea. Dont buy shit at a dealer wholesale scam shit. If it smells like a bad idea it generally is. As for the...

    Buying a car?

    From out of state buying a used car, check if your state has state inspections and or smog inspections on top of every thing you would check into when buying a used car. Unless it is a very specific type of car, I personally would steer clear from online used cars because you dont have the...

    Buying a car?

    If the mini was made by a jap company or even a detroit company I would get behind it. I just hate the way german cars are setup inside. Fairly fun little cars but not the best reliability. Sounds like you know that already As for the bmw, just research if that is a good price for your area...

    Buying a car?

    Yes but not substantially at least in most markets. I work in Charlotte NC so if you are ever out here I could help. Best bet is to get internet quotes for whatever vehicle you want, test drive at your local dealership and get the one you want. If you want 2 Accords at our shop you would save...

    Buying a car?

    <-- Sells Hondas. The 2013 Accord is pretty awesome. It is winning a ton of comparisons right now (USA Today, C+D, Motor Trend, ETC). More importantly, it is the only car out right now which is doing well in the new IIHS offset frontal crash rating. Check out this...

    Buying a car?

    Hey fucknuts I have worked at multiple dealerships for 5.5 years in a couple different regions. Yes, they will price match if needed to keep the business (make the money on the service if not the parts and keep the customer in house for brand loyalty) but that is NOT the first price offered at...

    Buying a car?

    Yes. If you are planning on buying the car, you can do it pretty much any time. (I worked for a Honda/Pontiac/Mazda/Mitsu/Hyundai dealer and now just for a standalone Honda shop)

    Buying a car?

    Now add dealership markup to the tires, plus install. If you are at a BMW/Lexus/Merc dealership, labor rates are 150ish maybe more PER HOUR. At my Honda dealer labor rate is 110 an hour. Just because smart people know you can get them yourself (and cheaper) does not mean that is what happens.

    Buying a car?

    Yes, they use e series as taxis in europe... with much smaller engines and with parts that are built right in town. Now factor in the bigger engines, automatic transmissions, and ship parts from across the world (and then charge more for the "luxury" experience) and you have a recipe for higher...

    Buying a car?

    Young kids and douchebags see the badge and get excited. This goes for pretty much all the german cars. I love the way they drive, don't get me wrong. The money is ludicrous and I hate how they are set up though (ergonomics and things like that). As far as reliability goes, I would stay as...

    Buying a car?

    I sell cars for a living (5+ years) so if you have ANY car related questions, feel free to ask. As for the elantra vs used MB question. What do you want out of a car? A new, reliable car, or an expensive status symbol. Just guessing since you are looking at an elantra (one of the cheapest new...
