The real problem here isn't that the salesmen in Canada are making less....it's that GM, FORD,etc are charging their regular prices TO THE DEALER. So, the reason you're a moron is because you actually think bitching to the salesman is going to get you somewhere.
When I was selling there was about 2200 between MSRP, and the "dealer net" that my commission was calculated from on an Impala LT (and the dealership MAY have to pay that price). Now, how the hell am I as a salesman supposed to give you 10,000 off?
You know, people hate salesmen too much to begin with. I quit selling because I was tired of the abuse customers dealt out. "f@#k off" was a not uncommon way for my greeting to be responded to. Everyone thinks they have so much information that they can "outsmart" the dealerships. Problem is, NONE of you people are smart enough to know that a dealer is a RETAILER of the cars...just like the corner 7-11. They have to buy them from the manufacturer...the fact that they pay for the car when it's sold is irrelevant, they still have the "cost" of the car to cover.
So, do all the salesmen a favour and save your bitching for someone who actually CAN do something about it....the manufacturers. I'm sure the sellers in your area would prefer you never showed up at thier lot, than go in there DEMANDING 10K off a car they can't even source for the price you want to pay.
Moron.
