is the $4000 lojack fee mandatory?

If I get Invoice and PD, I'd be happy, you have to leave a little bit on the bone for the dealer... Unless they're Jackwaggons, then go for the throat...

They make money off bonuses, hitting certain volume numbers, and to be honest I think there's a little money below holdback too, there's also aged inventory bonus, etc etc. Fca gives them help to move units

90% of fca dealerships are clowns, I have dealt with over 40 dealerships with fca alone and the majority of them were clowns who didn't know their product or how to handle a lease, and I'm not just talking salespeople, the sales managers and a quite a few gsm are also braindead/ignorant.

So I give fca dealerships no passes, I go straight for the bone when dealing with cars, a dealer doesn't have to sell me the car, I throw an offer out there they usually accept or counter, if the counter is close enough then I usually just take it as my initial offers are usually very very strong. If a dealer sells you a car it's for two reasons, they are trying to get rid of it and/or they are making money off the deal. ( a dealer will not put themselves at a huge loss to sell a car if they don't have to)

I have no sympathy for dealerships most will try every way to screw you, there are some good ones out there but it is a business at the end of the day so I treat shopping like they treat selling.... a business.

That's just my opinion anyway, I totally understand different perspectives.

I'll agree with you on product knowledge ...that part amazes me...and the average consumer that hasn't done his homework..he gets nailed to the cross

 

[1971demon]

I'm sure it will be just as im-potent as his first one

You mean the Edsel????

 

[1971demon]

Well then why the ridiculous hard sell question? By now this should be old hat. He/she has either had LoJack in every car or just not mastered the art of grasping the process and recognizing hard sales pitches. Whatever the case I’m sure we can get Hemidayz a better deal.
Are you willing to travel? Or place an order? My local guy will take care of you. My new WBRE was below invoice on top of the rebate.

Hey pokeman...If your guy is that aggressive...and can swing me those kinda discounts...when the order banks open up for the WB/RE charger..I'm puttin you to work...hope PD are applicable ...you realize theres gotta be a ppj sandwich in there somewhere for ya

Just from my general experience, I have heard stuff like the full horsepower doesn't get unlocked until 500 miles, you can only use the red key on a drag strip, etc etc

Don't get me wrong some of the people knew what they were selling, like one of the guys from koons has a trackhawk, another from a dealership in Ohio had a 392, a sm had a hc, a gsm had demo'd a charger and challenger hc in back to back years.

The Others..... well they were lost lol.

@Jimmy N., "on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness that Chargers are great."

That is what @Stormtrooper1320 is trying to say.

@Jimmy N., "on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness that Charger are great."

Oh, okay. Aren't those chargers called defibrillators?

 

[DGatzby]

So to just reply as a matter of fact to the op. I looked it up, says a LoJack is about $1g + 40/yr. Don’t you want to be the guy who calmly calls the Owner/ Manager or whatever over, tells the sales person to flat piss off dumb ass, and calmly tells the Mgr or Owner that fact and asks so WTF is the other $3k for? You pushing a fraud on me?

Basically yes.....

For @Jimmy N. helping out a fellow forum member and putting one more Charger on the street....he shall not receive any money...but on his death bed, he shall receive total consciousness....so he's got that going for him....which is nice

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

Wow...from the sound of it on this forum....Chargers are like the Swiss Army Knife of automobiles. You can race them....use them as taxi cabs....probably deliver pizza in them.....take your girl on hot date night to the drive in, and actually have a back seat that you could use for some fun.....run your parents to the airport WITH their luggage, and WITHOUT one of your elderly parents dislocating a hip getting in and out of the back seat.....use them as a mobile power source....save a life.....i bet that even a Pocket Fisherman will fit in the glovebox..........the possibilities seem endless

If Ron Popeil finds out about this...he is gonna make a fortune

 

[Jimmy N.]

Hey, I only pointed Hemidayz in the right direction. He's on his own now.
And that right direction didn't include what to buy (a 2-door, for example), only where to buy it...and without a Lo jack.

And what is it they say about Swiss army knives and other multi-function tools? That they can do a lot of things, but none of them particularly well.

Yes...but see...you did a good deed. I got the feeling that he was a little down by what he was experiencing, and he came here for actual help.....and he got it. I don't think he was expecting people to jump in and start searching car ads, etc. but not only did he get that, plus a bunch of good advice to keep from getting screwed, he also got some good leads on where to maybe not get screwed based on other member's experience.

Of course.....he might be a little taken back by how quickly some of us were ready to dig a hole and put someone in it.... but hey....you take the good with the better

I know we've all felt like this when they keep wanting to sell us that top dollar extended warranty...and we've said NO 5 times already...

 

[Jimmy N.]

Having a couple of backhoes, I'm used to digging holes. But generally they are for myself.
Then all I need to do is figure out how to get out of them.
