I don't care if somone disagrees with me! That creates interesting dialogue in these forums. Sometimes we can even convince each other of something. Bashing is a different story.

Replying to: kirstie_h (Feb 06, 2006 10:01 am) They actually call me every several months to tell me of a particular vehicle. I buy cars, not only for myself, but my son, sisters, my sisters' kids and my mother. The sales people figure that at least one of them may be in the market for a car at any given time. I'd say 50% of the time, they're right. Matter of fact, I just helped my 17 year old niece buy a nice '99 Mazda with 74K miles. That resulted from one of those phone calls. Sales person was from a Ford dealer. They got the car in on a trade from an older couple who bought a new Ford 500. I had mentioned to him a couple of months ago that my niece was in the market. These sales people don't bother me with some of the "less than desireable" cars that come in. Just when they get a really nice car, do I get a call.

Generally, within a few days or a couple of weeks, he'll get a few callbacks. It means sales for the dealerships and a reduction of time that he needs to seek out vehicles. It is all about relationships ...
