I am sure times have changed since i was i a dealership but back then when new cars came in for some reason it was part of my job to check them in and get the packets . Inside the packets there was the window sticker that went on the car and always on the left rear window . Then there was the INVOICE that the G M got and went into his book of tales and lies . THEN there was FACTORY BILLING invoice , The price they had to pay till the factory might drop or kick back on slow moving models to get them sold . SO when a hard case was dickern and playing hard ball with the salesman THEN the game started with the running back and forth to the G M and when things got down to the nitty gritty here comes the G M out with the book of lies and shows the customer THE INVOICE and starts the song and dance plus the dog and pony show . Then the next move was he would say something to the salesman like we can make this happen if you take a hit on the commission and they would sell the car but they were still making a nice chunk of change . The more you sold the less they paid for the cars . They would buy heavy when there was factory deals if you took this many of this and somany of that and oh your pushing the performance line so here you take say a 100 Road Runners and seventyfive Barracudas and a 100 dusters with V 8 and four gears are sagging so if fifty of those Duster are equiped with four speed and 340 with other packages you can get them for this . Same as in the parts dept , my district rep would come in and he always had a super deal on something if i would take 24000 plugs and 5000 sets of points and cond . Antifreeze , oil by the case , wiper blades Transmission seal and gskt pakg. shocks tires , prices unheard of Plugs for 16 cents a piece points and cond. sets for 30 cents , shocks for a buck . What part Number you ordered did not matter as long at it totaled the special . And they would throw in free wind breakers for the whole service dept , now what you did with the FREE wind breakers was up to the parts manage he could just hand them out or he could sell them . Where i worked employees would get a new car for 400 over billing invoice plus tax and title .
