Nope I am the one who decided what to put in the vehicle and decide what stays and what goes. But also I would have taken it out anyway just for the fact that we have cars broken into all the time and that would definatly would be stolen. Also it will not add or deduct from the value of the vehicle. Since the factory one will be going back in it anyway.

I worked at a Pontiac dealer briefly as a salesperson... I recommend that everyone try it once! You will be paid for the best consumer education on earth!

My father used to own a Ford dealersip back east (southern ontario) and a few years before he sold it he found out that his used car manager and his body shop manager had a little scam going on, they were claiming parts needed to be replaced when they didn't (even on trade ins), replacing the parts, and selling the old ones that were perfectly fine out the back door, both the guys had been with the company for 10+ years and before my dad caught wind of it, they made enough money to each put pools in at there house. In fact thats what drew his attention, he wondered how they were affording it
That head unit can still be sold to offset the cost of the OEM one so unless the big cheese knows your taking it its still stealing. That being said I'm no angel, so I'm not preaching, just letting you know the flip side of the coin before you make your choice.

I hear that, they used to steal everything, it got to the point where we had to put security gaurds in at night.
We had a compound where we would keep totaled cars, just a fenced in spot in the back of the bodyshop area, we even had to keep the meanest pitbull I have ever seen in the compound just to keep people from stealing parts off the damaged cars, the tow truck driver was the only person the dog would allow to come in the area, my father included. We had to kill the dog cuz it got loose and killed/ate 3 dogs in a period of about an hour, I was only about 10 but was glad, that dog scared the **** out me
One summer when I was working clean-up there must have been someone trying to fix there Ranger, cuz over a month span they came and striped parts off the trucks on the lot, bumpers, tires, even the front quarter pasnels and the hood, not to mention all the engine parts.....Some peoples kids huh!
If the boss knows then hey good score, post picks after he install![Twothumbsup](https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/images/smilies/twothumbsup.gif)
BTW- I wasn't suggesting your a thief, besides stealing from work is expected

True that. I got more negotiating experience in one day on the lot than most people get in 2-3 years. It's a crash course in business negotiation. I love the sale now. I buy cars every few months just because I miss it, and I think I'm better at it than the moron selling me the car.

If you are in control of the sale AS A CUSTOMER, then your objective is to not let that person take a turn. And the newbies are so afraid to leave you because they think they will lose a sale. I'm sure I was that way when wet behind the ears, but now I am so relaxed. Wish I was still selling cars sometimes.

its stealing, that does mean its going to be steal that you have to take it. you are the one living in the trailer probably.
Were not all like that I swear.
Buddy, if your going to represent us, then try not to make us look like a bunch of cave dwelling morons. Grammer lessons can't be that expensive. I think you should consider moving to the other side of the river, I hear Hull is nice this time of year, and angry little frenchmen are welcome.

My point was you can't speak both languages. But you keep drinking your milk and one day you'll get there.
Oh and you see under your name where it says Location, when you fill that in, it means your representing.
Besides what kind of name is that, what if I was Jewish, ever stop to consider that, do you think thats cool to glorify it. Your either ignorant or stupid, whatever the case I'm guessing it's you that lives in the trailer!!
