Go in instead. Look like a serious buyer etc. I think you'll get a better price if you are in there wanting to put your money down. They won't want you leaving without a signature. I think you'll usually get a much better deal sitting there rather than on the phone.
I agree, need to visit dealer not ring for best deal. They will not give good price on the phone.Quote:

One (Geelong) even wanted to tell me all he knew about the GTS, not listen to what I wanted, and I walked (as I did others).
Couple of others were quite relaxed and, as salesmen, open to discussing my thoughts on prices and negotiating.
Another thing I found was the the “old” salesmen were the worst, their bad attitude, assumed they were knew better, etc. (Caveat : I am OLDER than them:-)
I basically went in with a “I am trying to decide whether to upgrade my (FPV) GT or not, I am looking for the best price, and will decide the dealer based on the outcome”. The dealers I finally selected were low pressure (though “clever”), and in the end I selected a deal I was happy with, though I think I could have done better (or maybe just stuck with my GT).
Looking forward to the new wagon in a month.
Bit hard to go in though if you live miles away, as I did and Deco does. Fair point though.
When I called up I stated I lived in the country, not happy with local offerings, what can you do? Like I said, one phone call was all it took for me to buy from 5 hours away.
Definitely wouldn't be buying that car!Quote:

holden is ok with customers doing standstill burnouts with the new VF???
It is just an add for a dealer mate, nothing to do with GMH. The guy doing it was actually the owner of the dealership anyway.Quote:
