Every post from here on in is a landmark for me simply because I've never made it to 1000 posts at any forum before being banned. ;)

Just goes to show how tolerant you people are. lol

It just shows the amount of leeway we have on the definition of "intolerably annoying."

It also means that there must be lots of other people here just like me. ;)

(absolutely, you're one of the gang and a really good sport. Particularly when you post drunk.)

lol...thanks wolf. I'll try to be drunk more often. :)

I think that's something to strive for. Care if I join you in your quest?

absolutely not. :) I'm sure Ducks will be in on it too...and a few others as well. Im fact, I might just go get myself a drink now.

I'm in early tonite :D

tis Melbourne Cup eve n all ....thats a good enough excuse - yeah?? :blush:

WOLF!!!!! I so want to party with you pissed (thats drunk in aussie), have you posted whilst seriously tanked before?? I want to read those posts.

Dude. You can't ever post again.

:lol:

I just sold a service contract for $2112 in honor of your 2112th post, Ib.

now, if i could just get someone to honor xoxoxobruce in the same fashion.....

so what is that about $1900 in leg, LJ?

The term 'leg' ....or 'air' or 'fluff' refers to a deliberately overestimated monthly payment. when a customer knows enough to negotiate the interest rate, and knows the sale price, and even the amount financed, the salesman will occasionally tell them that their payment is $20-$50 more than it actually is. They do it because they can always come down, and if the customer says yes, it makes it much easier to sell ancillary items because the actual payment increase is hidden therin. It is actually illegal to do this intentionally, but very hard to prove that it wasn;t just a mistake in the quotation.

The service contract referenced above retails for $2495, so I actually discounted it to get to that price. If you meant 'profit'...then no, nowhere near that much profit. most service contract have 100% profit margin,IOW about half of the price = cost.

it's illegal for you guys to throw leg in? not down here. it is the assumed practice. when i was selling i knew i'd have one seriously pissed off f&i guy if i didn't give him at least $15/month to play with in back.
