rehashing an old thread… I work at goldstein subaru and all of this is true. The younger kid in sales with the legacy is Paul, he works there again after a recent hiatus. Bill jones is a hoot. If you go there you want to talk to paul or joe K. And if you have any gripes about will or todd in service, Ill let them know. Hehehe. Also I think DJ works at the buick/gmc store. ---

My business partner just bought a brand new Sti and when he went in to finalize the paperwork and pay his down payment with his debit card, the salesman told him that he would not accept the debit card because it cost him $50 to run it and because the numbers were so tight on his deal , that we would have to come back with cash. So he made us go all they way to the bank, get $$$, and go all the way back, just so he didn’t have to pay $50 to run the debit card. BS. ---

In that case to tell the salesman to eat fat black cock and tell him you are going somewhere else. You can pay how ever you want when you buy a car. ---

You can pay how ever you want when you buy a car. A bunch of dealerships don’t want you paying with a credit card unless its told up front before the price is finalized on, because they now have to pay a % of that sale price to the CC company when they had already cut the deal according to how much profit they need to make on that car. ---

Ha, I didn’t realize bill was gone. I don’t get up to sales very often as I am the parts/shuttle driver for the subaru store. Its hard to get delivery’s done when there’s a dozen people that need to go all over the capital district. ---

The debit card thing is true and I honestly can’t blame the salesman. We have been considering doing that here. If we are giving a huge discount on say a $40000 kitchen package to where we are only making maybe $4000 on the appliances we request the customer use cash or a check because credit card companies have become blood thirsty recently. Some companies charge upto 4% for credit transactions. On a $40000 transaction that is $1600. Is it that hard for the customer to go to the bank, atm or get a check from the credit card company? ---

Some people also may need to use the credit card simply because they don’t have 40k in liquid funds. ---

Some people also may need to use the credit card simply because they don’t have 40k in liquid funds. Number one people who buy a $40000 kitchen do not have any shortage on cash and do not bank with any bank that would have trouble cutting a $40000 check. If they are using a credit card the companies provide a check to their customer at no extra charge. All you have to do is call and request one ---
