As someone who has worked in this industry, let me assure you that dealerships and manufacturers are completely motivated by profit, which is free enterprise, and not into providing discount transportation to the public. <br>Many people don't understand that making money is what business is all about. They don't want to be your friend unless your forking it over. Period!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iSpec]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 12:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</guid><description><![CDATA[Which is EXACTLY the reason you don't treat customers like that and go around spewing your bad reputation. I know that I won't buy a car from them even if they're the LAST BMW dealer in the world.<br><br>Business practices like that dealer has brought down some mightly enterprises in the past.<br><br>If a businessman can't differentiate short term, shady profit, to long term, stable profit, then he shouldn't be in business. In the end, this dealer gets the darwin award - for earning huge global media negativity over $10k.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 12:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with you iSpec. I am in the oil and gas business and we too are all about profits, not about providing discount gasoline to everyone. Sadly for us, Americans feel entitled to all the cheap gas they want and think anyone who stands in the way is stealing from them. And if anyone says anything about windfall profits, I urge you to Google "profit margin" before you say anything.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 6:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love this quote, "At Husker BMW, we honor all contracts. "<br><br>That is not true..   ive been in a pending law suit with Husker Auto Group / Bmw of Lincoln for 2 years now..   They are not honoring that contract...   What crap.<br><br>Fil (the general manager) told me to my face the friday before this whole ebay car thing, that he was going to drop the law suit against me because he doesnt like to sue his customers.  Well after i called Huskers lawyer to let him know what Fil said, Fil today told me to fly a kite.  <br><br>Car salesmen's  word means NOTHING..  in my opinion.<br><br>I about to launch my own website about my 2 years $7000 in legal fee ordeal with Husker Auto Group and lets see how their Marketing department "spins" it..<br><br><br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cory]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 11:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/03/bmw-dealerships-pats-itself-on-back-for-delivering-m3-sedan-to-e/</guid><description><![CDATA[Bob, why do you think many large corporations have charity funds or something similar? Does donations not eat into their margin of profit?<br><br>Because in return, they get POSITIVE media attention, which is the best advertising you can have. People will be more willing to do business with you on good actions alone. Only caring about your immediate profit is short sighted = business failure.<br><br>Wouldn't that dealer have MUCH better profit by loosing $10k, but gaining the respect of much more potential buyers?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 9:46PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
