..." Why don't you just buy it from him?"
  
" I don't want to pay too much!"
  
" Sorry, I don't like your tactics. Buy it from them!"
  
Click...

 
isell,
 
For what it's worth I don't blame you for doing the "Click" on this guy. This guy went WAY beyond being a jerk. You've got to have a lot of b---- to call from another dealers office.
 
In the end I guess you won. Imagine what you would have gone through the first time a jerk like this would have had a problem with his car.
 
Yep, you definitely won.

Are you just using Nashville as an example, because I didn't mention the name of the city?
 
I am using Nashville because your profile says Nashville. Lovely little town, used to live there near the Airport. May I ask what section of the area you're at?
 
My question was more of a how do I get there from here?
 
Try contacting GM, see if their dealer relations department can help you.

Very few dealerships now are single point operations.
 
Most autogroups now have multiple franchises spread out over many different demographics and price points.
 
We have two franchises that sell brand new vehicles for less then 14,000 dollars. Then we have our franchise that does not sell any new vehicle for less then 40,000 dollars. When the Phaeton was out for VW we had two franchises that had vehicles approaching the six figure price range.
 
Then there is the seasonal aspect in some part of the country. From now till about Feb/March we will be rocking. Over the next five to six months I will make around 75% of my yearly income. At the same time some our two domestic stores will drop off in the middle of the winter considerably.

I have no experience with financing an auto dealership, but generally banks expect a personal guarantee when loaning money to a new, unestablished business (or, financing an existing business for a new owner). Basically, if the business fails, you'll be filing bankruptcy. No pressure or anything!

The answer to that is that I still have and 8-5 job, so would you think I have 20 mill?
 
To be honest, since I know someone who is selling shoes at a local department store with about 30 million in the bank I would say I don't know.

He'd still be there now if he could see over ten feet. But, yeah, he's still driving his '02 Impala.
 
He can't see more than ten feet and he is still driving?????

It is more of a case of the luck of the draw when the stork dropped him off. In this case its a little bit of eccentric and a little bit of wanting to show everyone he can survive outside his families fortune.
 
Anyway bank robberies usually net just a few grand.
