Judging a Car Dealer by their Automotive Website

You can tell a lot about how a car dealer treats people by what appears on their websites. It's important to always visit their website to get an idea of how they operate. Here are five things to look for when you visit.

1) Prices on the Vehicles: It has been popular in the past to list the "price" on the website as "Call".  This is often an indication that the price of the vehicle depends on many variables such as trade-ins and customer disposition.  Our take - if they don't publish their prices, they're not ready to be open and honest with you even if you go there.

2) Parts and Service: There are two types of franchise dealers - those who have a strong parts and service department that are thriving and making money, and those who don't.  As strange as it may sound, a dealer who is doing well on "fixed ops" are more likely to have better prices on their vehicles.  Those who are struggling in service and parts need to make more money in sales to survive.  It's that simple.  Check out their service and parts pages on the website.  If they are prominent, that's a good sign.

3) Credit Applications: In 2009, a possible reason that a dealership would not have a nice, secure, interactive credit application is that they do not have a strong finance department.  In today's world where credit is more difficult to get than ever even with good credit, it is important to have a strong finance department working towards getting your loan approved at the best rate possible.

4) Clean Appearance: One trend of late has been to offer a no-frills website to customers.  While appearances are often superficial, sometimes they also mean that the dealership is in trouble, cutting back costs and having a greater need to make more money on each sale.  If the website looks good and clean like Orange County Toyota Dealers, you have a better chance of getting a good deal than on a plain-jane website.

5) Testimonials: Website providers today give dealers the ability to post written or video testimonials on a website. This is a light indicator as many dealers just haven't been given the option yet, so not having testimonials is not necessarily a bad thing.  Having them, however, is a good sign.

You can judge dealer upon their website when you see and read all the reviews of their achievements and customer satisfactions. In that way, if the reviews are all positive, the website is reliable for searching cars and finds out sort of commendable informations.

This is a good guide for car owners who are trying to look for a good vehicle online. I think transparency with your customer is really important so that they could feel that you are trustworthy and reliable.

Angelica Emmanuel said...

That actually makes sense. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, I'd say you can definitely judge a dealer by its website. Websites should be hassle-free and devoid of any unnecessary stuff that can confuse consumers. It's better to stick to the KISS principle: Keep It Short and Simple.

Wonderful information about the car,I want to Sell My Car,this blog will definitely help me glob alot.

Nicole Vickers said...

It may be easy to judge a car dealer through his website, but you still need to make a thorough check of his business. To determine whether a dealer is legitimate or not, you can go to the contact information section in their website and inquire through the phone or by walking into their office directly.

Same advice as if you were looking for an extended car warranty. You want a professional appearance, as well as accreditation with any agencies (BBB, AAA, etc.) that will help you know the site is legitimate.

Landlords also need to factor in the costs associated with getting the home ready each time you're preparing it for a new tenant, such as advertising, painting, making minor repairs and replacing the carpets. Finally, you'll need to set aside money for emergencies, such as the need to consult an attorney if a tenant breaks the lease. While most of these fees are potential tax deductions as legitimate business expenses, you'll need to have the money available when the costs come up so that you can keep the business running. Organizations such as the National Association of Independent Landlords are a starting place to get up to speed.

A second opinion is most likely needed. Just have to be sure of what you like.

A convertible isn't the best choice for a family of five, and an SUV will prove to be a challenge for someone driving long distances or constantly navigating downtown traffic and parking lots. You’ll also need to work out what your priorities are for a car, whether you value looks, reliability, safety, trunk space, status, or gas mileage, to name a few criteria.

2019.11.05曾經酒店上班雞排妹的《深夜保健室》最新一集與培根到酒店訪問酒店工作的酒店小姐跟酒店經紀,影片中介紹如:顏射(精子射在臉上) 、口交口爆(精子射在嘴裡) 、戴套肛交進行交易專業精緻化,酒店消費服務方式,還有小姐帶出場接S(性交易)等大家好奇的問題,其中酒店兼差小姐的薪水也是一般人想知道的問題,酒店經紀透露,最菜最基本的酒店妹,一個月至少也可以賺10到20萬元,也曾有「魔王級人物」一周就能賺40萬元,相當於月薪200萬,雞排妹問到酒店妹外貌與薪水成正比?酒店經紀表示並不是,通常看小姐自己的手腕,包括: 顏射(精子射在臉上) 、口交口爆(精子射在嘴裡) 、戴套肛交進行交易。突破高薪資的境界。至於常傳聞演藝圈知名網紅跨國賣淫,會轉行到酒店兼職,酒店經紀透露曾遇過10名通告女星「拍過廣告、拍過電影」找上門希望願意配合國外伴遊接受消費者陪睡性交易:顏射(精子射在臉上) 、口交口爆(精子射在嘴裡) 、戴套肛交進行交易,不過他表示雖然她為公眾人物,但在這行沒有差別待遇,起薪與一般小姐無異,不過影片中沒透露該女星身分,讓網友相當好奇。

2020.01.09台北酒店經紀人力銀行北部酒店工作開發部暨發展中心知名酒店經紀表示,以往上班族酒店兼差大多以門檻低、需要大量酒店小姐的酒店上班服務業為主,不過,隨著網路科技進步,八大行業就業酒店打工市場兼差型態也開始轉變,像是網紅、直播主首次擠入酒店上班從事酒店兼職工作的前5名。不過,許多年輕人要成為知名紅牌酒店小姐需要有創意、具備個人特色或是領域專業,也要具備國外接飯局(陪睡性交易)企劃、經過酒店經紀後製及行銷能力。酒店小姐要先吸睛,才有機會吸金。為了解上班族酒店兼職/大學生酒店兼差現況,酒店經紀人力銀行特別設計「台北風俗酒店經紀兼差現況調查」,酒店經紀2020年自1月1日到12月30日間進行網路亞洲大規模酒店上班問卷抽樣調查,有效樣本數為2000份,信心水準93%,誤差值為正負7.9個百分點。

2020.02.20知名酒店工作觀察家日本報導:
日本「酒店上班」知名男公關日前來台遊玩,造成一股旋風,而在日本歌舞伎町有一位酒店打工的酒店小姐,被譽為「第一女帝」,那就是愛澤繪美里(愛沢えみり)。她和其他酒店小姐不同,不靠賣身或是喝酒,滴酒不沾的她竟然年收入超過2億,還被客人評為「平成時代的灰姑娘」。
愛澤繪美里從18歲時開始從事女公關的工作,20歲移藉到酒店兼差歌舞伎町的夜總會,馬上受到客人的歡迎。白天社長工作同時夜晚酒店兼職3年後,她的最高營業額已達到一晚2,800萬日圓(約764萬台幣),但據傳她因體質關係不能喝酒,所以滴酒不沾。但酒店小姐卻不能喝酒,沒有成為他的致命傷,反而她每次陪客人時,營造出「喝了酒」般的氛圍,讓酒客們相當喜歡。她也努力吸收知識與客人聊天,舉凡最新的時事政治、經濟文化、娛樂笑話,她都可以聊,也讓她成為日本第一女帝。現在的她已經從酒店女公關的身分隱退,但她成立自己的時裝品牌,還寫書出自傳和當模特兒上節目,甚至開了醫美診所和夜總會,成為獨當一面的女社長。

2020.06.06酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容有YouTube頻道是以辛辣話題做為主題,其中一集他們跟酒店幹部預約小姐「框到底」(包整晚),訪談了我在酒店上班的日子從事八大行業的酒店紅牌小姐的不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因生態,並且大公開要工作技巧。
YouTube頻道「酒店上班-酒店兼職-兼差如何達成人生的第一桶金」親自前往酒店帶人出場,回到家中做了酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?訪談,一開始就談及職場須知 【酒店PT 】「薪資」話題,這名「酒妹」(未透露姓名,以此做為代替)的月薪居然高達30幾萬,她甚至還吃驚做為工程師的蔗糖男月薪5到6萬「好低」。
「酒妹」透露有把禮服店當制服店在玩的客人,竟然就直接把小姐的衣服扯掉,或是摟人之後就把手直接伸進裙底的客人。「酒妹」說遇到這種變態客人,他們會先擋,但如果擋不住的話,只能藉口說要去上廁所,然後打電話跟行政求救。
酒妹還透露許多工作內幕,她們如果遇到好的客人,會使出手段來留住對方。「Owen蔗糖男」問說,傳說中「買框送S」(酒店術語中所謂的「S」就是有對價關係的性交易)的服務,「酒妹」爆出她個人的工作眉角是看對眼的話,「我就會跟他出去,送他這個(S)。」
