I know that he doesn't post here anymore, but does anyone have a update on him? The 'rolling in his grave' comment through me. Thanks!

Nah I am going to leave it. I still sell Land Rovers I just don't sit at that store anymore. I still follow up with all my old customers too.

It came into our shop leaking coolant yesterday. Turned out to be a corroded pile that is part of the engine block. The woman who owns it…
 
OK, I’ll bite, what’s a “pile”?
 
I’ve heard of plugs and freeze plugs in the engine’s cooling system but never heard of a “pile”. Is this just another plus/extra you get when you buy a Honda? And I don’t want a “pile of shxx” for an answer like your service dept. gave that woman.

"Sent me an email last week and he was very much alive."
 
Thanks for the update.
 
The earlier flippant comment threw me for a loop. As much as we all pump stuff back and forth, several on here have made a significant (positive) impact. Mack is certainly one.
 
Best to him.

Wait, you admit that you overprice your cars, then you get upset when an informed customer sees that and leaves?
 
That particular vehicle had been on the lot for more then 45 days and been reduced about 7K. 3-4K mark-up is for fresh units. I thought I made that clear earlier.
 
$31,991 is a great price for a 2006 400h. That's a unit we are looking to dump because of its age.

I hope he stays that way for a long time!
 
Thanks 'isell'.
 
I don't know who the OP was that started that but that stuff ain't funny. Scared the hell out of me.

And what's the deal with these people who come in and use 5 different salesmen to drive 10 different cars?
  
Does anyone have any loyalty these days? Does anyone have any common courtesy?

 
You are assuming a level of knowledge and empathy on the part of the general public that is not there. Most people think of auto salespeople exactly the same as WalMart checkout lanes. One is as good as the other. And even if they get the idea of commision sales, they just don't care.
 
I had a co-worker that mentioned that he talked with a different salesman on each visit to the dealer when he bought his new truck. I asked why he didn't work with just one, and he said that he thought he could get a better deal by working one saleman against another at the same dealership! "Hey, I still got it from XYZ motors, so why should they care which salesman sold it? They are all working for the same company."
