You say dragging?

Well if you think ive enjoyed the drama of dealerships screwing me over in the past weeks i havent. SO with that said this could have been over two or three weeks ago.


I will only buy the best one for me at the best pricing.


Some folks shop and then some just put whatever the dealership says it cost out there, i dont like giving away my hard earned money tho.

For example i was at the dealership here on April 20,2005 looking at that 04 Smokin Asphalt SSR and this older gentleman was there buying a big four door diesel Chevy pickup. I had been there awhile and got to know the sales manager finding out we live in the same area here, blah, blah, blah.. but they knew i was wanting a different color SSR from my very first email to his dealership, so we were just BS'ing..... but this salesmanager told me that this older guy just walked in and payed close to 55grand for this new 05 four door diesel pickup.. payed sticker and didnt ask questions.. I said "Why would he pay that much" the salesmanager said they see older retired people coming in time to time with money he guess's the've saved over the years and plop down the big bucks.. I dont think i will ever do that is my point.. im a shopper and i never buy when i need to buy its only when i want to buy something i want.

Shoppers

Z16Z06,
Some people are shoppers and some people are professional shopers. When I am looking for something, (car, TV, etc), I do my shopping, and if I'm treated right and believe I'm getting a good deal, I buy what I'm looking for no matter what it cost me. That doesn't mean I always get the best deal, but it does mean I get what I want, when I want it. I don't spend 6 months trying to get something when I can get it now
I have sold a lot of cars to people over the years who pay full sticker for the vehicles they want. These people were raised and educated in a different way than you were, and like me, they don't mind paying for what they want. Hope you find what you want. :thumbs
Mike :cool

Well i believe im one of the professional shoppers because im WELL informed on pricing, options and the stealership games. Not all dealerships are stealerships believe me my favorite Chevy house here in Plano,Tx has sold me many new cars last two were the new Z06's.. and if they had the 04 SSR remaining i wouldnt have ever posted here because they know im a frequent buyer and i get bored real quick on my vehicles, plus they get refferals from my business partners on many different vehicles they sell. im a WELL informed shopper and i dont ever buy unless i know everything is up front. I LAUGH hard at the dealerships who think they are doing me a favor by having the vehicle im looking for. Thats the ones i use to walk out on, now with this wonderful internet shopping its either a YES or NO. And i'll have it in writing if i travel out of town on pricing, opitions, etc. etc.

I appreciate YOU sir and everyone here who has helped me and slapped me around some..haha.. i like to have fun and shopping (the chase) is fun to me, it can be aggravating too. But in the end when you see me post up what i bought you'll all know im smiling and enjoying my new ride. I only keep writing because people write me back here asking questions or commenting.

To the ones i think who are tired of reading about my search:
I got tougher two plus years ago when i lost my loved one so If i grow tiresome to you tell me and i can go away or you can just not read my posts..

I mean NO harm.. im just wanting what i want and keeping everyone informed and aware of what goes on at some dealerships around the country.

Thanks people.. Tony

I'd agree - but say MOST will try to make the big bucks....

The local dealership got wind VIN#2 sold for 140k (May 2003) - not realizing this was a charity auction - their price for their #1 allocation went to $85k. I drove mine home from a decent dealership in Montana...

I wanted first in town - and got it - and a pretty good deal too @ 3.9% - with my own financing...

Really just want to see you spending quality smile time in an SSR. :flag BTW: Get the Slingshot. :seeya

 

[Watch Six]

Your Right.....

kwhopper89,
Your absolutly right. And those dealers should be hung from the nearest oak tree by their thumbs. Those dealers constitute maybe 25% of all dealers in a certain brand. I just get tired of being pegged with those 25%. Nobody ever says anything about the $400,000.00 Porsche sellers.
(I now feel so much better, and to think I used to $45.00 an hour for what I get here for free :lol :lol :lol

Hopefully I will have my long awaited SSR tommorrow. A dealer in my area has an 05 with the 6 speed and chrome wheels a wind break and aux package in Aqua Blurr. They e-mailed and offered $43,120 + t+l. So offered back $39.5k and they e-mailed back saying we have a deal come on in a get it. I hope they do not do to me what has been done to Z16Z06. If they do I will notify GM as I have the e-mails to prove it as well. Wish me luck?

Is this a 1SB package? If so this has got to be the best price I have heard of on an 05' SSR not to mention a six speed!!! That would be an awsome price even at $43,120.00. Good luck!

No, it is the only SSR out here that I know of without the 1SB. On another note my woman is saying no way that I do not need another truck. :boxing

You say "my woman" Is this your wife? If not maybe you can trade her in on a newer model that would encourage you to get the SSR. LOL
By the way inform the "woman" it is not just "another truck" it is an SSR, there is no other like it!!!!!! :lol

Being in the Dallas area have you checked out Van on 35N they have atleast 6 SSR's on the lot probably not all 05s.

No she is not leaglly my wife but we have been together for 24 years. Many times I have considered trading her in but somehow we fit together well no matter what. I have tried saying it is an SSR but she says it is not practical and that I already have a nice truck (Ram SRT-10) and why would I get another one. She does not like the look of the SSR for whatever reason. Yes she knows there is no other like it. She also says that I have the Z06 and Ram for two nice toys why another? She does say if I really want it just get the stupid truck already and stop being obsessed with it. Then she says what will it be next.

Hey Wildcat66 ... naw i haven't tryed Van Chevy but they show no 04's on the gmbuypower.com site. I'm waiting on Monday/Tuesday to see if this other deal falls through or if im in my SSR.

Funny the SSR's dont seem to be selling off of ebay, even the ones close to 30grand. wonder whats up with that? gas prices?? just curious


RSHOTTEL.. SO what are you going to do??? you still buying one?

I knew i was glad im not married for some reason.. HAHAHA!!!! :lol

I have been watching the ones on ebay as well even bidding on them (at low prices never make reserve). I think it has to do with the ones on ebay are usually far from you so you cannot go see them and check them out easily.

I still have that little something not letting me buy one along with the woman. I just bought another business and that is keeping me quite busy. Will allow me the income to buy one easier though (after loan is paid off). Garage space is also an issue. What to now park outside? Z06, Ram SRT-10 or the SSR? The Nissan is outside already no question even though it is the newest of all. Woman is very concernered she will have to park outside. I reasure her that will not be the case.

Hey I'm not married.

Even thou I work for GM, a lot of us at work complain about the treatment we get at some dealerships! At a cross section meeting we had last year with upper management from Detroit, this subject was brought up. We were told that their dealerships were set up like Franchises. They stated that if you do not like the service you get at one particular dealership then find one that will treat you like you want to be treated! I diden't really like their answer, but that's what was stated to us employee's. :cuss

You know, when I read stuff like that I just have to shake my head in disbelief. What can be more important to a company than getting product into the hands of customers?

I'm in computers, I'm used to a whole different world. It's been kind of ironic to me that here I'm buying an SSR, with the 50's "retro" look, and the whole buying experience is like going back to the 50's retail environment.

William while im still waiting to hear back on this other yellow SSR..

Do you still have an 04 Yellow SSR? if so what equiptment? and what other colors do you have? how come you cant get the Houston,Tx dealerships to work a cheap deal with me like the prices you sell them? seems you work deals in different areas but not much in the Texas area.. There is still a load of new 04's in the Houston,Tx area

Thanks.. Tony
