Crystal Choy Mktg 129 Spring 2015 Case Analysis #1 Autobytel.com Class Analysis The traditional car buying process is that customers will go into a dealership and then the car salesperson and the buyer would be negotiating face-to-face when it comes to purchasing a car.

During the course of the bidding process, it became evident that Mr. Larsen had an ulterior motive for selecting Mr. Allison.

Profits increased only when customers placed large orders and had a large drop in profit when many clients placed small orders. Wrong cost determination is given to individual customers as well as new DOP services. The pricing system for DOP is inadequate for its current operating environment because each customer required different product ordering and distribution ways which cost differently. These costs that were considered in the product pricing strategy were not accurately assigned to each order and needed to be reallocated. In order to set up a better pricing strategy, we need to set up an activity based costing method to figure out cost and profitability for DOP.
I believe that investing in a car is the second biggest investment one can ever make next to purchasing a house. It is very important to know what model of vehicle you want, the options you want with the vehicle, and what you are capable of spending.
