Will it make a delivery to/pick-up in Vail?

;)

That's four hours round trip!

Yea, but you gotta ski/drink beer/buy beer somewhere, right? ;)

I thought you bought a season pass good at Breck/Keystone/A-basin and Vail...

You make valid points counselor. I do have a pass at Keystone/Breck/Abasin, but not Vail/BC.

Ah. I know in the past that when we skied at Breck/A-basin/Keystone, we could also use our pass at Vail one of those days if we had a multi-day pass.

Let's see, I believe there is a Duck-Rabbit 2008 or 2009 Barleywine and Scotch Ale included in the 6er I have for you...

Need any more info? ;)

The best lesson learned was to deal with internet managers. They don't work on commission and that only helps you save money.

So what do they work on? Sorry for sounding so naive, but how did that help you in bargaining?

Not naive at all. I didn't know until I did a little research. They're salaried employees, but they achieve bonuses based on volume moved. So whereas a salesperson's commission is based on the amount of profit he/she makes the dealer (ex: $0-1000 profit-20%, 1000-2000- 25%, etc.) and it's in their best interest to squeeze every last dime out of a customer, the internet manager is helped simply by moving the car. Further, since the inventories are all online now, and most dealers will give you a quote for a specific car (identified by VIN #) even if it's not on their lot, you can pick a car online and then have the various internet managers bid against one another for that specific car. Since most dealers have a meet or beat policy, if you receive multiple quotes for the same car, you can just work the price down until you've hit the bottom that any dealership is willing to sell for.

You can still get hit on your trade-in and on the financing, but going through the internet manager is a benefit on the price of the car.

Very interesting!! Thanks for the information!!
