Because I’m bored and have started drinking I went through my trash folder and counted how many emails I got from dealerships in the past 5 days that promised - EXCLUSIVE BLACK FRIDAY CAR DEALS WITH HUGE SAVINGS. Anyone wanna take a guess how many messages I got?

Update- The correct answer was 99...I’ll give the win to G-Body man for his answer of 96.

DISCUSSION (31)

I literally got one like 18 seconds ago. Man, with all the dealerships you must have contacted ... I’ll say 87.

1,000,000. At least thats how many I seem to have gotten

I mean I probably communicate with 500-600 dealers in a given year. Most of them are nice enough to remove me from the CRMs and I “unsubscribe” from A LOT of accounts, but I don’t catch them all.

By Price is Right rules, I may still win.

All of them.

I’m currently car shopping and have contacted about 10 dealers for pricing.

I think I received at least 20 Friday special emails.

You could have been the winner but G-Body man got a little closer and he gets the prize.

Hey Tom, i was wondering if sedanopcalypse was still in swing? I keep seeing some dealers throw 5k+ on Volts and wondering if the bottom has hit or wait till feb when there are usually a load of discounts and GM customer cash. Thank you.

Deals are good on sedans, but it depends on the brand. If you can score a big deal on a Volt now, go for it.

Thank you for the input. My plan was to get through another winter with my dd and I’ve been casually looking at different models. then the whole budget/ev tax credit thing came up 2 weeks ago and sent my plans to hell.

That’s a good plan too.
