""And if I run into one more single male who is looking for a car without his wife I think I might lose it. I've never met a bigger bunch of strokes then the single males looking for a car. They never have the intestinal fortitude to pull the trigger on a car purchase without"checking" in with their wife."" Customer here: I love my wife and our relationship, plus she drives any vehicle we have ever owned as much as I, so why wouldn't I scope (or stroke, as you say) the landscape on the internet and on the lots before showing her what I have found and getting her opinion. I love her, not the dealership or the salesman. (As great a guy or gal as that person may be )

Replying to: alejandrom (Nov 25, 2008 11:53 pm) [X] professional Troll on a message board [ ] car sales time to move on and find another job that you will hate in 2 years. You have to have skills and a thick skin in the car business. Stop being a (fill in your own blank) and go out and sell something or go home. you complaining is like a doctor complaining that sick people are coming to see him every day. |

Replying to: alejandrom (Nov 25, 2008 11:53 pm) Where have you been all this time..... I am laughing very hard because Iagree with you. It is like one day.... all of a sudden....a husband was out driving and he saw a Toyota dealership. he went in and ask to look at the Camry.... how he knew to look at a camry is beyond me... But I can only relate it to my marriage.... When we bought our last car for her. It went like this.... Weeks before the purchase.... she said the car is acting up I would like a new car. We talked about how much we could spend. We talked about what was important. So now we had a idea of what we wanted to do and need. A car came in on trade for a couple of grand. I bought it day and brought it home. Maybe it is easy because i am in the business. But I can't believe people don't actually talk about these things before they come into the store. Every one hates coming here and everyone likes to share their ideas with other people before they do it. Just some... a lot of people just can't pull the trigger.... Why can't everyone be like JMONROE  GP

I had a reporter come by because of the 2 for 1 promo I'm running on cars. He asked me a bunch of stuff, took some pictures (of cars and of me), asked me how business is, and went away. I like free publicity  It's not the first time for me. Years ago I did a TV interview on hybrids when I worked at Honda. We drove around for 20 minutes and I answered a bunch of questions, only to be seen for a whole 10 seconds

Replying to: alejandrom (Nov 26, 2008 10:41 am) Fantastic idea for a show. Lots of good material right from here, people wanting 0% financing, men having to ask their wive's opinion, kids barfing in the showroom......... |
