OK, I'll ask the question....what is trunk money?

JmanCLS55 · 11-03-2009, 07:21 PM

Very nice, congrats and enjoy her in good health.

I think trunk money is usually dealer incentives

Cheers,

Looks great -- now harvest those pumpkins!

So easy even your boy could do it.

Is that the thick rim option on the multi-function wheel? Maybe it's the color but it looks thicker than standard.

Nope, standard thickness. I agree it looks thick, but it feels a bit thin.

Great colors. You and he will have a lot of great drives in "The Porch" Put him on your knee and let him "drive" around the block and that will become a regular event.

Trunk money is dealer holdback that they get when the car sells $2,500+++

RH512 · 11-04-2009, 11:02 AM

I'm not the expert, but my understanding is holdback is a sum of money that the dealers receives back from the manufacturer from the invoice cost he's asked to pay, not sure of when the dealer receives this money, at sale - quarterly or annually. So if you buy from a dealer at invoice, he is still making the holdback.

Trunk money is an additional incentive, usually for a specific period of time, like holdback that the manufacturer will give the dealer on sale of the specified models - an incentive that is not promoted to the customer by the manufacturer. The dealer can choose to pass to the buyer all, none or some part of the trunk money on the sale.

V=dx/dt and then Acceleration is the second derivative dv/dt

Incorrect on both counts.

Velocity is the first derivative of distance with respect to time: V=dD/dt in English terms.

In Latin terms (as used by Galileo et al.), Velocita=d(spatium)/d(tempus)

Or, as most physics students learned it, V=ds/dt

But the term for distance can be anything so long as it's meaning is first stipulated.

Oh, Acceleration is the first derivative of velocity, not the second.
