Torn between two dealers

[staying_tuned]

Yeah, its great that your local dealership was able to match it. I reasoned that the logistical implications of purchasing out of state was worth $750 to my family and I based on travel time, one-way rental car, time spent on T&T etc. I sent my quote to 2 local dealerships stating that I'd be thrilled to deal locally and stack an additional $750 on my out of state quoted price and if so, I'd place the order that day.

The first responded with "We aren't even close". The second ignored me entirely. Both are within 40 minutes, the first being within 20.

I agree with the above, great gesture on your part. An amazon gift card is incredibly versatile. I LOVE steak, but right now I'd far more appreciate a guilt-free splurge on a few gadget I've been wanting.

Wish I knew if Travis liked steak. I just assume everyone does, but I’d hate to get a gift card for the wrong thing.

Eden is also pretty small. The odds of a good steak place there don't seem super likely.

That is kind of you, but I am at the thought of "this is their job". They WANT to earn your business. Most arent doing you favors unless your in with them in a personal relationship. (family, close friend, etc).

Going Amazon gift card, but I only have his business email. Hoping that won't present a problem, but I'm sure Amazon will let me change the email if needed. Thanks for all of your thoughts on this.

Travis is on the right in this pic... I pretty sure he does

I sent him a $100 Amazon card yesterday. Haven't heard anything back, so just hoping he didn't think it was spam.

I have been test driving the heck out of Jeeps at my local dealership since December and I really like the salesman. However, their pricing wasn't as good as I could find elsewhere on builds. I've bugged Travis at Tri Cities for many quotes and questions, while driving various Wranglers and Gladiators with my local guy to decide what I wanted. I felt like I was going to have to make my local guy sad when Travis gave me a price, but today I found out that his sales manager will let him match.

Now I feel like a jerk for having Travis do all that work and buying elsewhere, especially when he's the reason I'm saving $3000 on my build. Without his quotes to bring back to my local guy, I'd be getting a far less well-optioned Gladiator for my budget. Trying to do the right thing, so thinking about giving Travis a $100 gift card or something for his time. I know car salesmen work for their money and people ask questions and don't buy all the time, but I'd rather not be that guy. What do you guys think?

Isn't there a really bad 80s song about this? lol

Appears that Travis likes steak. Just took this pic on Wednesday while picking up my gladiator. He’s a great guy!
