does anyone know MA55 AAA...Maserati Granturismo V8?

[mark taylor]

I am sure that there was a thread a few weeks ago regarding this car MA55 AAA...being sold by ADG Sevenoaks, i felt that somebody had sold it to them for around 35k and then the thread was about the mark up they had put on it? Up for £42,995....seems a very nice car, have looked round it briefly.
Any comments guys.

That's the expected margin for a specialist retailer

That's right. Dealer margins are fine as long as you get access to some things that have value - vehicle prep, finance, warranty etc.

I worked in retail auto for a couple years, nobody seems to get the fact the dealer can't exactly give cars away. I had to ask a few customers if they worked for money? They would say "Yes"...I would then ask them what they thought I was doing lol

I have no problems with dealer margins but I will haggle where I can.

Its the same old perception, its okay for the customer to ammass or make an easy fortune , but for the supplier or seller of services , you must appear to be struggling to keep them feeling smug and superior , i get it all the time , as a lowly kitchen fitter , the minute they find out i have an Italian mistress or two it puts us on equal terms and the working relationship changes

Customers/buyers need to have it spelled out what they are saving and getting for their money , doesn't help it being a buyers market the last few years

you only get what you pay for...i know what you mean loz....i run a landscaping company and the looks i get when i'm in my work gear, compared to when i drive my silver bullet...well they differ shall i say!
As long as the customer feels he has got a fair price/deal the seller will already have most of the time....treat those with the same respect as you feel you require, perhaps the world may be a nicer place....mmmmm.
