How do some GM dealerships survive
We need a 7 seater so poped to the local dealer to see what they could do.
Valued my wifes car without seeing it and relied on my description (trade in price was OK though).
Asked to look at finance and the finance girl came armed with a calculator
Easy way to work out a PCP.
When they eventually worked out a quote the APR was 15.5%. Even loan sharks dont charge that much.
Then asked them how much their demo Zafira VXR was. Got a reasonable price and then the salesman told me how it had a new gearbox after 1 week. Then he mentioned how he wouldnt like to live with the fuel consumption of two VXR's. I asked why as I'm getting nearly 30 out of mine, to which he said "the service manager isnt getting anywhere near that, but he does thrash the crap out of it".
Would you buy that car
They also had a Meriva VXR out front with a cracked front bumper for all to see.
Distinct lack of IQ at this dealers.
So the hunt will go on.
