The dealer has no obligation to sell to a manufactures employees, and many small dealers do not. Manufactures employee pricing grosses the dealer only



7% of the invoice price, and that includes the holdback.

On a $20,000 vehicle, that's $1400. It is easy to see why a dealer wouldn't want the extra money.

Please inline post. It makes your threads and logic even harder to follow.

I am not aware of the procedure for employee sales at Ford or GM. Toyota provides an additional vehicle outside the dealer's regular allocation for employee and courtesy deliveries

I noticed that you are also a top-poster. Maybe that influenced your juvenile response.

As do GM and Ford but if the dealership only GROSSED 7% of invoice per vehicle, he would go out of business

I agree - no argument from me on that one!

Ah, a top poster too moronic to even leave a space between his post and the one that follows. Obviously, the twit is not worth ever reading again. Plonk!

It's common courtesy to not top-post... but then maybe courtesy is not always common.
