Good story Mac and congratulation on completing it in one sitting.
 
While not in sales or even having to deal with the public, I have had the "honor?" of seeing a few like that in action and I just want to smack them.
 
They tell me that some day we will reap what we sow.

The End !! (Wow that's a new milestone for me! Complete story in one sitting)
 
Wait. What happened to the rest of the ongoing story with the Highlander? The last part to that series was back on May 5 and ended with this:
 
Gesell comes over and introduces herself. I leave them alone and go check on other things while she does her spiel.
She takes about 15 to 20 minutes and then leaves. I walk over and tell him Jenny is ready for him. I walk him over to the little padded room known as the "business office" and introduce him to Jenny and tell him I'll be in the showroom if they need me."
  
                    
  
            TO BE CONTINUED...............

Until the new company took over April 1. Now it is $150.
 
Who's the new company?

About 45 minutes later they come out of the business office and the car is ready to go. I get their license plates and Jenny comes over and tells me they didn't want the paint sealant and fabric protection after all and he beat her up on the rate.
 
So, by Mr. Rickles thowing his little tantrum, he ended up getting the paint sealant and fabric protection for free? Not like you can scrape it back off. What a jerk who makes the rest of us consumers look bad.
 
Don't really understand how he got a hold of his sister's survey. He must of brainwashed (reprogrammed) her on how to fill it out.
 
Seriously, I hope you club the next one like a baby seal.

TV had a story on MPG by mako1a

TV had a story about SUV trade-ins being worth squat, Prius selling like hotcakes along with Yaris and some Chevy econobox.
 
Thing that fuzzed me was a guy trading a C5 Vette and the dealer asking him why he was trading and he said gas mileage.
 I happen to know those things get 28 hwy and 24 when you drive hard. Perhaps a few less when you try to get it airborne.
 
Makes no sense to me. I have a Toyota V6 getting 30.8 AVG MPG for the last 3 years and would trade for a 01 Vette all day long.
 
Does 2 to 3 MPG really make that much difference?

Not so fast. Mack is gonna make you sign a Refusal Form for that beauty and the ADM will kill ya.
 
I could pick you up on the way south and we could gang up on him, but I suppose he's been ganged-up on before.

Welcome to the board.
 
I used to be willing to read the ". . . to be continued" posts until I learned that, well, they wouldn't be, at least to the end. I think it's called a happy ending, and we haven't had all that many, at least on the board here.
 
I don't have any idea how many of these have been left hanging/dangling/whatever, but they are legion.
 
Here's what you do: go to the bottom -- if it says "to be continued," don't even start.

...and will be priced around the Nissan GT-R.
 
Does that mean it will cost the dealership $25k to be certified to sell the thing too?

Now be nice pinhead! There might be one or two that are still unfinished. I may leave them that way so when my second book gets published it will read:
 "To be Continued: The unfinished stories!"
 
PS. I have to write the first though. One of my boys keeps bugging me to write one.

I don't think so. Unless they come up with some stupid rule.
