A sale is made on every call. Either you sell him on your price, or he sells you why he can't give it to you on that price. Attention. Interest. Decision. Action.
Better yet, phrase it like this: "I know you probably don't have the authority to beat that price, but I'm willing to pay SLIGHTLY more to save on the travel time and gas time to Bend. Now what number can you give me that will make it worth my while to keep it local? I have all the free time in the world, though and I love Bend"
I've done this before with bad luck. Dealers don't like that. If you're going to play one dealer against another, you need to be low keyed about it.
Then when they call you to follow up, just say "I found a better price". Its a numbers game. They need to move inventory yo! They probably sell less than 5 of these per month.
My ancestors immigrated here around 100,000 years ago and had to live in caves and eat snakes and stuff. My people have suffered and deserve a cut. I've never accepted pay pal before but I'm going to make an exception because of your inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
They don't have what I want in inventory. Nobody does. They're going to have to order a special build from the factory which is going to take 5 to 6 months.
If a vehicle is going to cost that much, may as well order it and get exactly what you want. Yep, Volvo makes a great vehicle.
1. I don't want their tired old colors so I'm getting a shade of blue; 2. Gotta have AWD 'cause dialysis is not an option even on days when it snows; 3. Gotta be a plug in hybrid because my wife hates paying for gas; 4. Need all the safety features such as heads up display, lane departure; 5. Park assist because my wife needs all the help she can get. An XC90 with these features doesn't grow on trees so I'm going to have to special order it.
I can't go. Gotta be with a machine the size of a cheap full size refrigerator to clean my blood thrice weekly. The VA will pay for other facilities but they cannot be a fellow VA facility and I must pay and wait for them to pay me back,which, based on my experience with them, will take about a year to get my money back and at $1,000 per treatment adds up to quite a bit of change. I don't even know if they still do that and if they do the European pick up and they certainly don't advertise it.
I wish I could go to Europe but I don't feel like taking a chance with my life. Another consideration is the person sticking the needles in you. The needles are large gauge and can hurt like hell even sometimes for the entire 4 hour procedure. I like having people who do a competent job. Also, I'm a bleeder so it takes a long time before after they pull the needles before they can wrap me up. Not all places do that. A lot of places have a high turnover and want you out of there ASAP. I've sprung serious leaks before where I was gushing blood all over the place. One time they had to cover me up with blankets because my clothes where substantially red from blood and they didn't want the general population to see that. Other times it's made me sick enough to the stomach that I've puked, maybe a dozen times or so. No, I don't take getting dialysis somewhere else lightly especially a foreign country.
