Thumbs up New car sales

Feeling pretty pleased as my boss has just purchased two new Fords this week. An egas ute and a territory for his wife. Im getting the old Bf egas ute.Anyway to get to the point, he has been in the market for new cars for a month or so looking at prices for the ute and managed to get an awsome deal from a north coast dealer (it pays to shop around) as far as his wifes car ,they have been looking at wagons from volvo, vw, bmw, and even a Holden Sportswagon. I have been trying to push the territory. they test drove thesportswagon and said it was rubbish (handled poorly, nose dived during braking and no room in the cargo area) . Then went to Ford and test drove the terry and were very impressed. at the end of the day the quality and value for money sold the cars. im just greatful that Ford got the sales.. :

Good on ya Boss

I am Trying to Purchase 2 New Ford's atm however am not Getting very far with the Dealers I have Approached, mainly I think Because I will have a Trade & am not willing to let it go for Peanuts.

I have told them what I would like however they just do not seem interested at all in a Reply to let me know what they can Offer me.

I even said I am willing to Haggle to a Degree lol

I have been in contact with half a dozen dealers thus Far & all have been slack.

1 Guy took a week & a half to get back to me & only then after I sent a second email.

Is no wonder the vehicle Industry is in such a Mess, I would have thought Dealers would do almost anything atm to sell a car or 2.

I would if I was them.

Why don't you look at the 'for sale' section and sell your car privately??

Are there any good Ford dealers I should check out in Victoria around Melbourne? Looking for used cars. Sorry to hijack the thread, but I think its more appropriate to post in here
