Just ran into a wrinkle in program that really p#sses me off. First we put cores on 2014 parts so the aftermarket can't get ahold of old parts. Then they do not price match 2014 fascias and headlamp (among many other parts) Today get an estimate that states we have to use GM Surplus parts for a 2014 Impala. These cannot not be price matched in the Bump program so either I buy GM's seconds or I lower my profit margin to use parts I have on hand. So now we don't have to price match the aftermarket but we have to match GM's CRAP.

what a bunch of crap.

Rant over time to move on

This will make the company's even busier that handle the surplus parts. I hate at the end of the year when I see what's in my Bump the Competition fund that I cant use on surplus parts, return reserve, etc.
