I tell them thesme thing no dealer things on my vehicles. If you give me a good deal I will spread by word of mouth. So the local newspaer and radio station let you advertise on the sites for free?
Yes, we pay them $1000 a month for a bottle of dasani water and they advertise for us for free.
Silly.
I've never made an issue of the buyer who requests that I remove the sticker, it just doesn't happen often.. I guess because I don't rape them?
I think it's only fair to point out that these folks that throw a fit about "not advertising for the dealer" are usually the same people who grind you for hours/ days for a better deal, lie to you about pricing elsewhere, purposefully mislead you about the condition of their trade in or what it was valued at elsewhere, refuse to put down a deposit when they are insisting on $1000 of upfits being added to the car, will threaten to drive 250+ miles to save $200 on the price of the ($50k plus) car, will buy the car elsewhere and then call GM and complain because I wouldn't program their memory functions for them because "the salesman we bought it from 250 miles away was too busy and we had been on the road all day..."
The nerve.
These people tend to be the least happy in life and I feel sad for them. And yes, when they ask me to remove my sticker I happily do so, knowing the obnoxious fit I am avoiding by doing so.
Anecdote:
I went on an all inclusive vacation resently. We paid for an excursion outside the resort, a hike up a waterfall in Jamaica. It was upfront info that the guides work for tips. We were also video taped during our climb and the DVD was offered to us on the bus after the trip. The asking price was (an outrageous) $40!
One of the customers in the front of the bus immediately threw a fit about the tip she gave, the price of the DVD, and the fact that the locals think we Americans are stupid. She ended her rant by offering the young man $1. He was kind enough to simply reply "no thank you, I'd need to have $25 minimum.."
She blew up again, citing the potential cost of a blank DVD, etc.. She then upped her offer to $1.50.
At this point a gentleman behind her stood up, opened his wallet and got out a $20 and handed it to the young man, stating that "She obviously needs the money more than you do, son.. Take this grouch's $1.50 plus this $20 and let us get going, please?"
I observed those two couples for the rest of our vacation. Anyone wanna take a guess at which one of those customers enjoyed their vacation and which one could routinely be found at the service desk throwing a fit about some piddley ignorance?
And which one of those people do you wanna be?
