Hey, Richard! After all of the end of the Solara talk Toyota kept it at least another year for just the convertible. I don't think Mercury is in any danger of extending the GM beyond 09 however.
 
Say hi to Mack for me. He's indeed in thoughts and prayers.

. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He wanted to be remembered to all of you here.
 
Definitely hope all the best for Mac and he is often in my thoughts, whenever I go on this site. Miss him a lot, and he is a great inspiration to all that know him.

Let us know how it drives if you get one - Fusion
 
I definitely will....hope it's better than the Crappler 300 I got 2 years ago. Last year we drove down in my own car, that was the best.

Richard, thanks for the update on Mack. The news could have been better but he is a fighter and I think he will be OK. Sure wish he would post here again.
 
In watching the local ads in the KC area it appears that the deals are not as good as they were just before the end of the year (and before GM got their bail out money).
By GM I mean General Motors, not Grand Marquis.
 
New car buying right now is something you have to be very, very careful with. Some are good deals and some are not. The automotive world is certainly going thru a shake-up right now. Go drive a Hyundai Genesis if you want a nice surprise.

More for the list.. by isellhondas

Forget finding a babysitter. Bring your two year old twins with you! m Make sure one of them has the ability to scream at the top of his lungs. Encourage them to play in the cars that are in the showroom. Show them how to SLAM car doors and make sure they are able to find the horn.
 
It's best if they are hungry and need a diaper change.
 
Show them how their salesperson's calculator can do double duty as a hammer!
 
Bring their filthy scummy car seats so you can fasten them into the four different used cars you want to drive. We just love this!
 
Before leaving (without a car) make sure the chocolate milk one of them brought get's dumped on the salesperson's desk.

These tips are just great. If I was in the market for a car I would definitely print up these suggestions and take them with me. I would get all the car folks in a good mood and then have my way with them. I especially like the one about throwing your own keys up on the roof.

Will do - have been. Say hello for me, too! I miss those stories...Jim Gridell was possibly my favorite. You remember, he was the one who bought that Sienna and then...

Fact of the matter is life would be boring if every customer came in, went for a 15 minute test drive, signed the papers and drove home. We wouldn't have any fantastic "sales stories".
