I would like to clarify my statement about options. Mr. Vassilo did not say the factory would only be installing the transmissions, a representative in a blue Elio shirt told that to several of us. It does make sense because the cost of the factory having to have a dozen or so options stockpiled at the point of assembly cost money. As usual, Elio Motors is adjusting their business plan by the day trying to keep cost down. Remember an elio is coming out the door every 2.5 minutes. Here is my take on the sales showrooms. When you go into the showroom, a salesman will show you the vehicle, ask you if you want a test drive, and take you on that test drive sitting in the back seat. Now the prices are supposed to be non negotiable so the salesman will add up what you want and give you the non negotiable price..adding the options, and the color adding the destination charges and the dealer prep charges. If you say yes, then the financial situation comes up. You can write a check or He/she will take a credit app. have the finance manager run your credit and give you the numbers for the month payment if you decide to go that route. No dickering but time will be spent doing the above. No different than now except for the negotiation of the price. Your credit score will determine the payment interest rate and of course, Elio will have several financial institutions to chose from. I figure it will take an hour or two to get one Ordered. The finance manager will also talk to you about any extended warranties. If you want to "dicker", I bet the salesman will say "next". If you run the numbers, you have 60 stores open 7 days a week. 250,000 a year /60 stores, and you get over 4100 for each store a year. divide that by 350 days and you get 12 a day for each store. yes folks, it does take time. What do you folks think about my sales scenario? I think I am pretty close.
