Assuming we get say 10 people and ONE dealer agreed to make this deal, each one of us has different preference on the car. Let assume the dealer give us 5% discount on the car, we still need to take other service from the dealer. For example, I want a corrosion coding on my car. This option is commonly offered in Dow Valley North Toyota and can be free if you negotiated for it. Some of you may think its unnecessary. With this group buy, would we pay for other services that eventually make this offer less valuable?
If dealers are willing to give a total discount of say 5% then if they discount the financing to for example 1/2 the buyers in our group they will only be able to offer say a 4% discount to those of us who want to pay cash in order to make up the difference - that is the problem. Everyone needs to get the same monetary value on the discount, regardless of options/financing chosen.
