I am in the process of finalizing arrangements to have a charitable trust pay a Rebate to anyone who buys a car anywhere EXCEPT at one of the Luxury Motors Stores, kind of an extra incentive to find a dealer that will treat you right and earn, rather than take, your business. So far it seems that we are in agreement in principal on the following: 1. A rebate will be offered to anyone who purchases a used or new car from any dealer EXCEPT one of the Luxury Motors dealers. 2. In order to have some impact, a total of 1,500 to 2,000 rebates will be offered initially. Options are being explored to increase the total quantity. 3. The amount of the rebate will be between $50.00 and $100.00. A tiered rebate structure is being evaluated. 4. To earn the rebate a consumer will complete a rebate form and be asked to fax or email it to the trust. 5. Rebate will be processed and paid to the consumer. The objective of the rebate program is to significantly reduce the number of consumers who fall prey to the Luxury Motors tactics. One of the reasons the Charitable Trust is entertaining funding this campaign stems from the fact that I had petitioned them for assistance in helping me out of my Luxury Motors dilemma, and they had agreed. After agreeing and setting aside funds to help me, the Luxury Motors stall tactics have cost the Trust approx. $20,000 in lost interest income. Stay tuned for details as the arrangements are finalized.
