Replying to: oldfarmer50 (May 10, 2008 11:40 am) 1. This is our normal slow time of year. 2. Gas prices have killed our used business and are hurting the fringes of our new business. 3. I have a lot of people waiting to hear what the 2009 Range Rover will look like. I was told in the past that the 2009 model will not be the all new body style but we haven't gotten specs for the 2009 Range Rover yet. I have specs for all other 2009 Models except the Range Rover. That tells me something is happening with it but I don't know what. 4. We get a fair amount of business from Stock Market financial people and some of them are really hurting or at least nervous. 5. Our leases are so uncompetitive that an identical MSRP Merc or BMW leases for between 150 and 200 dollars less a month then a competing Land Rover product. You won't get as much content in the German SUV at the same MSRP but you have 150 plus dollars of monthly payment to meet the Land Rover equipment level. An comparably equipped Merc or BMW is still usually over 100 dollars less a month then a Land Rover.

Replying to: obyone (May 12, 2008 11:43 am) Then again you never stated when this story occured. Yeah I did. Last summer. When we moved back to the Burgh from S.C. in 98’ she had her choice of tops when  So, like a good husband I installed the kitchen with the help of my two sons. Cabinets and counter tops (as long as they aren’t granite or the like) are very easy to install. I learned to do that when I was in high school helping cabinet installers on Saturdays for a while. My Father was a kitchen designer at an upscale kitchen supplier at that time and felt I could use the money and, better yet, the know how for later in life. He was right again. The money is long gone but the knowledge isn’t.  Oh, yeah, the topic thing; I don’t think that supplier had a high mileage delivery truck back then. We complained about gas hogs back then (I think we always have) but not like now. jmonroe |

Replying to: british_rover (May 12, 2008 12:51 pm) We also has someone trade in a ratty 1996 Disco that they still owed around 2500.00 on. IT had a busted windshield and the Check Engine and Service engine lights were both on. We were able to make that deal but it wasn't easy.

Replying to: isellhondas (May 12, 2008 12:31 pm) I remember years ago I would be worried about $12K in neg and getting it approved. Now if they have good credit I just worry if they can afford the payment.. |

Saturday we had some people come in wanting to buy a Hybrid Escape. They were some real Gronola eating tree hugging type people who wanted to save the enviroment by driving a Hybrid. Or so we thought. Any how we told them that we would let them know this morning if the one we had was sold or not. We had a deposit but the customer had not drove it yet. Ended up he wanted one with factory Nav. We called Adam and Eve this morning to let them know it was available and they informed us that they left our place and went and bough a Dodge SUV with a Hemi in it.
