My point is if you donât like it, then donât spend your money on it. Go get a Mach 1. And youâre right you live in America where the first amendment gives you the right to complain about anything and everything you want. But again no one is making you buy this model of car are they?
I don't care for some things about the S650, that's true (I think everyone can say the same thing). And it's also true that I don't appreciate you trying to shut down criticisms about it.
What I never understood about people wanting to âbuy Americanâ is that the dealership already paid for the car. The foreign company already got their moneyâŠ. So the only person hurt by this ideology is the American dealership worker trying to get a paycheck.
The dealership only pays for what their customers will pay for.
That is not true at all. The dealership takes loans out on every car to cover the cost. Thatâs why units that Have sat on the lot longer get a bigger discount because the dealership is paying interest in that car with the bank till it sells. Why would you think an auto maker would give cars to dealers and say âpay us when you canâ. Does pepsi tell Walmart that? No. Someone lied to you my friendâŠ. Itâs macroeconomics
It is.
Ok buddy you can think what you want. But speaking as someone who worked in dealerships for years Iâm telling you thatâs not how itâs done. You have someone with real world experience explaining the process to you, and youâre arguing that youâre right? Whereâs the logic here? Dealerships are independently owned and operated. You think every dealership works deals out with Honda to pay for vehicles when they sell? So drive by a new Subaru dealership and count how many cars they have. Now multiply how many dealerships around the world outside of the country they are manufactured in, and you tell me how any auto manufacturer stays in business doing it your way if they donât get paid till they sell. Seriously man thatâs doozy of a conspiracy theory you got there.
What exactly is unclear to you about the basic concept of supply & demand?
Blah Blah Blah..... you sound like a broken record skipping and repeating over and over
I'm sorry you feel that way.
i was explaining that dealers pay for these cars from the manufacturer. You argued that they didnt. I understand supply and demand. I also understand that the shear amount of boycotting that would have to happen against a foreign company would be astronomical. It also would hurt Americans who work at these dealerships and mechanics who went to school to fix these cars. Youâre changing the scope of the discussion to suit your narrative. Iâm done responding to you at this point. I was merely educating you on the flaw in your ideology. Pedantry aside, I prefer those enlighten those who are misguided in their information. Lest we forget knowledge is power. Take care my guy.
I argued nothing of the sort.
Obviously, I can't control what other buyers do, nor am I entitled to know their reasons for doing it. I can only control what I do and my reasons for doing it. That all should go without saying.
That's a flawed zero-sum take.
You either meant that dealers donât pay for the cars until after they have sold, or you did a terrible job wording youâre intention that reduction in demand will result in less stock on US soilâŠ.
Now, guys... Maybe 80% of the world's population over age 30/40 couldn't tell you, but in the US and probably most first-world countries? For software that has been used in games for at least 25 years? Which came out after people had already been gaming for a decade (Castle Wolfenstein?) on Ataris, Commodores, Apples, etc. It's strange to me that you think this is so exclusive to younger generations, but then younger generations often don't realize how much the older generations know.
