When my guests come in with car cost canada it tends to be a good thing. It shows me that they are ready to buy the car and they are just making sure they aren't ripped off. It also demonstrates to them how little we make on new vehicles. Our markup is fair.
I confirm the trim and model with them and how they are paying. I make sure that the report is accurate. (its always accurate at my dealership)
We take the cost of the vehicle and add 4-6% depending on the model. Some of our more rare vehicles will get about 6% or more. We rarely take less than 4% of profit on the car due to being a luxury brand. Normal brands make up for lower profits by trying to sell more units.
The client is usually happy with getting 4-6% above cost. We move on.
As a car salesman it helps when the guest is informed. They usually know what they want, it's my job not to screw it up. These days price is less of an issue. Markup is marginal. People want to be treated well, not to be lied to, or feel ripped off.
Sounds exactly like silver hill acura.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
