The Marquis dealer aforementioned just called:
"Great news! Bob the owner just said I could go to 8970 on the Destiny. Can I sell you one?"
Well, no, we don't think the Destiny is for us, and for sure not at that price.
"Well what other brands are you looking at?"
Sundance and HotSpring.
"What kind of prices are you being quoted?"
Well, they start with 7
"Well I have tubs in that range. But hey aren't as fully featured."
Well these have more features and are bigger to boot. Why would I buy something smaller with less features for the same money?
Silence.
At this point, now I'm a bit aggravated. I politely told him that we liked him and his dealership but that his pricing appeared to be out of line for what you get. All of it true.
He couldn't get off the phone fast enough. No "Thanks for checking me out." No nothing.
Yuck. I almost wish I'd never went in there.
