Messin with the Dealer

[Brother Mike]

My 2004 DTR Marauder had a bad battery (would not hold a charge). Took it to the dealer here in Dearborn as it is still under warranty. Actually it has less than 4,000 miles on it....

Service rep calls me the following day:

Hi, this is Dan at Jack ******'s. My manager was in and saw your car-he wanted to know if you would be interested in selling it.

ME: "Have him call me"

Next day:

"Hi, this is Matt ******. Saw your Marauder- was wondering if you are interested in selling it??"

ME: " Sure- it is your's for $40K."

MATT: " The sticker is only 35k (sticker still on car btw. ME BAD) How do you expect to get over sticker for it??"

ME: "Same ****ing way that you have a Mustang GT 500 at 15K over sticker on your showroom floor at the Ford Dealership in Wayne. The 5K is ECP."

MATT: "What is ECP?"

ME: "EXTRA CUSTOMER PROFIT" :coolman:

Way back when some Honda dealers were paying bribes to get Hondas I walked into a local Honda dealer that had printed up a sticker that looked OEM adding to the sticker price.

I got a polaroid and went into the show room. I asked if I could take a picture of the car and they said sure.

They saw me zoom in on the fake sticker and a salesmen stood in front of me and extended his hand to take the picture.

I looked him in the eye and said, I am going to leave and I suggest you step aside. He stepped aside and followed me out to my car writing down my lic plate.

I called Honda NA and mailed them the picture. They eventually lost their Honda Dealership. They also lost their Ford Dealership. They had to sell to a minority owner because there were so many complaints Ford was going to pull the contract.

A class mate of mine bought the Ford dealership. He was at a charity golf tournament. My friend fired a manager who was married to a competing Ford dealerships owner. The owner beat up my friend on the golf course for firing his son-in-law. Probably because now the guy had to hire his son-in-law.

This Ford dealer competitor's ex wife hires a hit man to kill him. The ex wife claims insanity and gets off. The guy she hired was an informant.

The guy who got fired attended a Dale Carnegie course w/ me and is a go getter.

Oh and the Polaroid camera, Polaroid lost a class action suit and I was mailed a coupon.:lol:

If you want to have fun with a car dealership, or get even with them or a salesperson etc...

Here is what you do.

Get friends or fellow club members and go to said dealership.

Say Marauder ville 7 members take time out and all pay a visit to the local Honda dealership. Get 7 or 8 people in at a time to have a good serious look at a type of car. Say a new Hybrid or something. and tie up the salespeople for the afternoon. Don't buy anything but keep them from selling to anyone else. Then for the next shift or after the first group returns have the next 7 or 8 people go in. Keep this up for three days and that Honda dealership will be panicking, zero sales over the weekend!

Then have everyone come back at the same time, pretending to not know each other and all demand to try out that one car model again. Everyone who can't because they don't have that many salespeople or cars of that type to get mad and unrully. Drink all there coffee and any complimentary food ... and then everyone goes away again without buying anything.

Dealership swamped and yet again no sales.

If you want to target all the honda dealerships and have 50 people you can seriously hamper Honda sales in a city or district. If during a week Honda sells only one or two cars in a whole city, they might have to spend money do a survey and have a coniption fit.

It could even be a contest with a prize. Who can keep the Honda salesperson talking the longest. Prize could be a cake shaped like an H.
