I really don't get these employee pricing sales that have become an annual event with car dealers. Sure, they need to get rid of their inventory over the summer to make way for the new models, but why not just have a big percentage discount?
I assume they're trying to tap into some public anxiety. It's sort of like when furniture stores have a "We Pay the Tax" sale. People hate sales taxes, so that sounds way better than a "13% Off Everything" sale.
But is the automotive employee discount really something we all get worked-up about? Yes, we're often jealous of auto workers conditions, but that's hardly the reason. They need to give away full health benefits, pensions, and job security with every car.
