Replying to: roadburner (Jul 12, 2008 7:25 pm) Famous fish for forty, This fish sucks, Blow fish! Oh I'm sorry, you didn't phrase it in the form of a question. Ballads continued : And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. Back to car sales.

Replying to: richard64 (Jul 12, 2008 7:35 pm) When I got to the showroom she was sitting on my chair like she owned the thing. We walked over to the parts department and picked up the rain guards. I drove the car into our delivery area and called my partner Tiny to give me a hand putting them on. I had only done this once before to another customer's Camry so I just needed someone to watch and make sure I aligned the pieces correctly. We were done in about 20 minutes. I drove the car back to her and she was very happy. I also showed her how to pull up video messages on her cell phone. She was delighted! I did have to dig the phone out of the trunk. I don't know why she keeps it there. She does have the Bluetooth function and I taught her how to use that when she picked up the car. So anyway, to make a short story longer  Right after she left I came upon a couple and their young friend. The lady had just returned from Italy last Thursday and was in search of an automobile. She had a Corolla S before leaving to Italy that she sold as they would not allow her to import it into the country. So now she wants another Corolla. I showed them an LE and found out she works in HR with the US Navy and her hubby is active duty. We talked at lenght, drove the car and then came back to look at Tundras as hubby has a Dodge Dakota that he wants to trade in. I get a phone call around 6pm letting me know my car is ready. I keep talking with the customers and then we go look at the Tundras. By the time we were done she asked me to call her as soon as an S model Corolla gets in which will be sometime next week. They are using his truck to go to work and it's inconvenient as she works regular hours and he has to follow Navy hours. We say goodbye and I give them a brochure on the Corolla and the Tundra. I asked her if she wanted to reserve one of the incoming ones but she said no as she wants a blue one instead of the silver and gray we have coming. Soooo. By this time it's 5 minutes till 7pm and I remember I have to pick up the keys to my car otherwise I have to call home to get someone to come and bring me an extra key. I walk to the service department and all the lights are out. OH NO!!!! not again! This happened to me once before and I ended up driving a pre-owned Corolla home. I didn't want to go through the hassle again. Lucky for me Tiny offered to give me a ride home to get the key and also drove me back. So I completely forgot to check on the Solara.  I promise to check first thing Monday and get back to you. I'm not working tomorrow or rather later today. Going night night now.  Mack

We were out and about yesterday, and came upon a car accident involving a NEW CR-V-EXL and another car. The CR-V had back-ended the other car. IT was intense; the front end of the CR-V was a mess, as was the car in front, as it was pushed into the car in front of it. We knew that it was a new CR-V, due to the dealer tag on the back, and the sticker on the window. I know the answer to this, but anyway, we assume that the driver of CR-V is liable with his insurance (assuming the potential buyer was at the wheel), correct? Certainly dealerships wouldn't eat this accident, would they? If the salesman was at fault, does HIS insurance cover it? Lastly, I assume that if the vehicle was totaled, it would treated like a privately owned car. Somebody is going to take quite an insurance hit! Have any of you "veteran" salesmen ever been in such a situation, or aware of one? It was quite 'heartbreaking' to see that CR-V is such bad shape! Thanks in advance!
