Mack, congratulations. I knew that if I lived long enough you would finish a story at one sitting. Please finish the Highlander story. The suspense is getting to me.

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.
 
You're probably right but not by a formidable 2 man posse from PA like us. Whenever you're ready you know where I hang out.

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

 
If I am not mistaken Jeff's dealership has gone from being privately owned to being part of a dealer group.
 
Never a good thing IMO.

OH NO.... RUN Jescue, RUN for them thar hills!!
 
SONIC is awful to work for, they treat their employees like dog excrement and could not care less about them. they ONLY care abourt the bottom line and reporting earnings to stockholders - no matter what the cost.
When they 'take over" they clean house and "broom out" & "cut bait" a lot of employees and they usually start at the top and work their way down.
 
JESCUE, is your GM still there or did they "blow him out" yet.
If you are a manger, I would highly recommend that you start circulating your resume ... QUICKLY.
Even if you can justify your staying, it might not be a plesant experience.
 
GOOD LUCK !!

Here is a port I found on Craigslist Auto Forum, in a discussion about internet sales:
 
Here is an idea 05/09 14:13:57
 
I have two boys that enjoy crusing the internet looking at cars both new and used. The have no intention of buying anything, they just like to find out what they could get a car for. They are actually just playing at buying a car. I have had salespeople call the house and ask for them, so I know what they are doing. Believe me these boys don't have a penny to spare for a car and are both driving junk.
 
I think it is just a game with them and of course they are not going to answer any calls or call you back.
 
I wonder how many of your inquiries are of this type?
