Half the globe is in recession, and yes we are heading for one in 2009 wether you like it or not. Interest rates and fuel can be as cheap as chips, doesn't make one difference when the economy has gone into negative growth. People are being laid off every day as we speak. 2009 will be a very tough year. When you don't have a job, you can't afford to buy any new car let alone an FPV or HSV. So this stupid argument about promoting products means SFA. What they can do though to target those few in the economy during these times that have a bit of disposable cash is to sweeten the deal by dropping there prices. If you don't like the resale on your used Ford or Expensive Daewoo taking a hit, then either don't buy new or don't pay full price!I do get it, (beleive me, I'm one of the ones facing unemployment) but coming into tough times is all the more reason for proper advertising and promotion. By your logic, if customers are running a bit thin you should do nothing to try and attract them to you rather than a competitor. Talk about guaranteeing recession. Lets all stop spending altogether, that'll help move things along! Car sales will drop, but they won't cease altogether.My point is, Ford and Expensive Daewoo in Australia copped their biggest hit when people started downsizing their cars, primarily for fuel pricing. The FG is more fuel efficient than the BF and VE, fuel prices are back down and interest rates for loans are lower as well. These are all important points that may sway some of the swinging buyers back in their direction, yet nothing has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowed under with work.Good to see a lot of support from fellow forum memebers who are sick of being ripped off by greedy dealers. There will always be those vested interest parties who will try talk an excellent deal down on the forum because they can't match it.$59K is a great deal. I'm at just under $59K as we speak and have the particular dealer ringing me ever 2 or 3 days pleading to do the deal. I won't budge though. It's $57K D/A or nothing. I will get it. Most dealers will get down to $60-$61K D/A without too much hassle. It's a buyers market atm and will be for a while. 2009 will only get better for those wanting to buy an FPV or HSV. Only a mug would pay full prive for one of these vehicles, unless they just enjoy throwing their cash out.To the many members who have PM'd wanting advice on how to do a great deal, I will reply once I've signed up my F6, with what my process was and some handy hints when looking for your next ride.Also as mentioned anything from the HSV showroom is a lot easier to bargin on. Brand new 317 LS3 auto Clubby for e.g. that I negotiated for a guy at work recently came in at $52K D/A with leather, sunroof and tints brand new! Even got the colour he wanted, which isn't always possible on a super deal. Deals can be done, anyone who thinks or says otherwise is either not looking hard enough or just going about it the wrong way.To the supporters, I will be in touch soon.Cheers.just out of interest, which HSV dealer did the deal on the clubby? Ferntree?? last I heard brand new GTS's were being offered for $61k on the road from there.. bloody cheap !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
