<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2691554, member: 15588"]A good dealer would at least explain the price drop if you ask. If it was an inventory problem, the dealer should say "I already have too many of these." If it's a profit/margin issue, the dealer should say "I can't make any money unless I buy it for 20% under," etc. If you get a low-ball with no explanation, especially if you ask why the low-ball, then that probably is a dealer to avoid. Of course you can get one of these explanations if a dealer is just trying to take advantage of you as well. It's a difficult uphill battle. Sellers want to make money and buyers want to make money. Those two fronts collide head-on and who knows what will happen? Win-win can happen, but it doesn't seem like a common outcome these days. Win-win usually means less money for both sides, unfortunately. And we don't seem to live in a world that can tolerate fewer profits no matter what the outcome. Someday that may change, but this attitude seems cast in concrete as of this moment. We live in hardball times. So be it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
