If it were a brand other than GM people would say how dependably designed it were.   Actually I made an assumption that it's the single manual AC unit. If it's the dual unit the parts might not be shared with cars using more basic parts. |

He even put in those hard-to-see narrow rectangular red or blue light housings inside the windshield. He wasn't a policeman or sheriff, in my opinion. Unmarked cars are not legal to be used in traffic control in Ohio. I have a feeling the local police stopped him. Haven't seen that car around for a year or more.

As far as a better deal it depends on how late in the evening it is and how many we got out  But that holds true any day. If the owner wants 8 units with no excuses and you show up 30 minutes before closing and we are sitting on 7 then there is a real good chance you will get a hell of a deal

Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 14, 2009 1:17 pm) That’s what happened when I bought my 95’ Bonneville Beast. I didn’t have the 30 minute rule down pat then but when we got up to leave after the salesman disappeared going for the OK from the SM (right after they were turning out the lights), he comes out smiling and said, “congratulations, you just bought yourself a car”. When I said, “why couldn’t you accept this offer 20 minutes ago? He said, “this is the last time today we have a chance to sell that car”.  This is right in line with what Son #1 told me when he worked as a lot boy for a very large Chevy place in the summer after his junior year of high school. He had to help close the place a couple nights a week and he said there would always be a couple of salesman that would come to him and say something like, “clean that Blue one because it’s going out of here tonight” and another salesman would say the same thing to the other kid. Finally after he saw that those cars were sold, he asked one of the salesman how he could be so sure that he was going to make the sale. The reply was, “I wouldn’t take that deal at 9 AM. but I’m not going to lose it at 9 PM “. Makes sense. jmonroe |
