when my boss was younger we would have up to 20 cabriolets missing on the floorplan/monthley inventory.
 
 I think he is up with Gene Simmons as far as the # of closes since he started riding mares.
 
 every time i would pull up a cabriolet on the computer to work a deal i would find out it was a demo.

my bil had some brake problems with his previously owned moutaineer he just bought. we went to rd sawyer flm in manteo nc and they took care of him in a about a couple of hours.
they have a gt500 on the showroom floor (only 1 vehicle could fit) and were nice enough to unlock it and open the hood, so we could check it out.
btw they fixed up by bil's moutaineer and took hm out for a drive to prove it.
i love those family dealerships.

And, yes, my lust still runs deep for a Jag XK
 
I have my eyes on a fixed roof e type mkII with a/c.
 
Perfect car Dr owned since new at a estate sale
 
I made a market value offer then was flipped to the Late Dr's brother Rabi Cohen.
 
The Good Rabi (and my rabi) tells me his brother loved this car and if i offered XXXX the Late Dr and his Family and God would Know that the car is going to a nice person.
 
I told him I will meet him in the middle because i thought God knew everything
 
Rabi Cohen laughs and tells me he knew he could bump me .
 
I hope to have the car in a few weeks. it is what i call gulf blue with a factory white painted roof ( because of a/c ?) on period alloy wheels,large cloth folding sunroof with black hides.

I hope Those guys make it
 
 Mom and Pops are going the way of 99 cent a gallon gas.
 
If they did not expand in the past 20 years it is time to close shop and play golf
 
I see the system going to Dealers in the citys,metro,burbs and burgs with off site Service in rural areas.

I remember hearing a similar story (maybe the same one if it was a national news show) and I was thinking that he is going to blow any gas savings by the added expense of the new car.

Ok, someone is definitely indulging in the sticky yicky tonight. And it ain't me.
 
I'm off on vacation for a couple days with the family. I love it when plans come together. I've sold two that will be delivered while I'm gone. That makes me very happy.
 
Everyone have a safe, happy and fun long weekend. Happy 4th!

Reminds me of when i had Italian and german buyers paying 100k over on vipers back in 92 thru 94
 
If another one calls you tell them that you know of someone in the St. Louis area who might be persuaded to let his go for that much...and it's newer than a 94.
 
Heck, I'll even drive it to the east coast if they want it loaded on the boat.
