Commission?

How about lending Mark a few bucks Mr Rockafeller?

[dave_Edwards 1]

it was a "house deal"----$2000.00 flat commision.

[Mark 0]

$2000 would buy me a lot of beer...

*cough*

[Chevy350TPI 12]

This Edwards fellow runs a hard bargain

[dave_Edwards 1]

in buisness I do

[Supa_c 1]

That is a complete rip off

Drive here to so cal, you can pick one up for under $90,000.

[dave_Edwards 1]

wow----it must be hard----because their sticker is what? $150,000----hell show me an invoice of one less than $100,000.

I doubt ANY dealer would lose THAT kind of money

True, but most won't get double it either. Holy crap! At $150k it is an amazing deal on a supercar, but for $290k (if I had it to blow) I would buy something else.

Congrats on the sale though, and getting f'd on only a $2k flat. I used to sell Toyota's and made more on Landcruisers...

[dave_Edwards 1]

the rest was a "house" deal------when you have a collectors car(like the GT) some will pay anything------I know I would NOT buy it-----I am thinking 7 series or maybe a 600 MB.....but that is a few years down the road.

Was on the back of a auto trader type paper.

I can pick it up from work

[Supa_c 1]

Enzos had an insane markup.

I think they started at $600,000 something and sold for $1.2M

True, but real people don't buy those. Some do spend life savings on cars like the GT.

The house deal we did on Supra's and Cruisers as well. Mostly because in July '97 I sold a Supra Turbo and 3 Landcruisers. They didn't like writing me the check...never understood that since in the previous year we hadn't sold a Supra and only 2 Cruisers the whole year. I always see it, when the sales guy makes a wad, his company makes more!

I'd sooner take an F430 or 360 Stradale. But I suppose the GT would do in a pinch...I supppppppose

[Supa_c 1]

Crap, i just realized that i picked up by bro where i work ( works next to me) I couldve picked up one of the books
