Alot of Adults do.Then they make threats.When threats don't work they throw a tantrum .When tantrums don't work they go cry to their mommy.
He was upset because his form was backwards in the printer and he got the $6543.21 fee :P
LOL. Well that's a different story... don't blame the guy one bit. :P
Now if my job reimbursed me for that, and reduced my salary by $300, what is better?
I do my share and then some. I'm just glad we get as little as we do.
According to the morning news, you guys are REALLY in for it.
No fun...
And, when did I say our store sells the most Hondas in the world?
Actually I hold back a lot of stories because I have customers who know me and they read these forums.
And, moo...when you first burst on these forums your tone was much different than it is now. I wasn't the only one who thought you came on like a freight train.
You have tempered and toned down your posts and that (to me) is a good thing.
I once likened this place to the neighborhood tavern. A fun, friendly place with a lot of "regulars". Each person has their own personality and quirks. We argue about things but in the end we learn from each other and all get along.
Once in awhile a new person will show up. Sometimes we just like them immediatly and they blend with the group. Other times they are boorish, too loud, too vulgar and just don't fit in. Sometimes they realize this and tone it down, realizing they are among good people. Other people just never seem to blend in and they usually move on to other places.
Sometimes, the bartender throws them out!
How about I buy a round now?
How bout I buy a you a drink? I don't want to be accused of being a mooch
If the Auto companies stopped nickel and diming the suppliers we would have better cars.
In Chryslers case merc killed chryslers engineering dept and nickle and dimed the suppliers!
Everbody saves somewhere even toyota(styling dept) honda(unibody build quality)
of "clubbing" a few ignorant shoppers or being subjected to pics of FUGLY
toyotas!
How about some inside info. of the latest tundra recall for bad driveshafts?
Or is that another secret kept on the QT????????????
How about them pics around the net on the new Challenger?
Let the hooning begin!!!!!!!!
I may have to put cragar wheels on it with some L60s and air shocks out back , some glass packs hanging from the headers plus a Crane Cam sticker in the 1/4 glass window,surfer foot gas pedal,kraco 8 track with jensen 6x9s and to top it off fantasy murals on the trunk and hood with a crush velvet interior .
to make the challenger complete a Gas,Grass or [non-permissible content removed] nobody rides for free bumber sticker.
Dry and colorless.
And, when did I say our store sells the most Hondas in the world?
I'm exaggerating for dramatic effect.
And, moo...when you first burst on these forums your tone was much different than it is now. I wasn't the only one who thought you came on like a freight train.
Understood, I agree that my tone was much different. Dealerships, customers and I have all changed. (For the better of my stress level.)
I guess I directed a little bit of the snipes at you because you seem to carry the Flag of Holiness. Any time someone comes in with potentially negative stories about the car business, then you frown down upon them. I'm just asking for some levity with folks like this.
Deskam is no troll in my opinion. He's just a guy having fun sharing some stories and some of us are laughing. I don't worry the slightest about you guys running him off since he's been in the business for so long, but I'm just asking for some smiles and good humor.
Regardless, I'm drinking what you bought. Thanks!

My owners brother tried to get me blown out once.He now is working in parts as the driver.
1 they shop at maceys or the mensware house
2 they drive a 2 to 5 yr old sled and play public courses.
3 they die in a trailer park or stucco box in florida/arizona.
if it was that much i would have met him in the middle. :shades:
If you did what was the most that your mgr shorted you on the bill?
I always make sure to send my housemouse and make him kick in 5 toward my lunch order.
You got that RIGHT!
I have been saying that of even GM / Ford.
Most of Toyota's features are straight out of GM's bin. But they do much better in a Toyota because they build that to spec.

Did you follow me around in the old days? You know, back before mandatory urinalysis.
Wow, this must be a brand new dealership, it's the first time I hear about it, it's not even in the Edmunds Dealer Quote link. I looked it up, I'm trying to picture the location. I know the area very well, used to live in Minnetonka and drove past it every day. Must be around the Audi/Porsche Dealership (I think the name was Carousel). And close to that Toyota dealership that always had something floating in the air - usually a Toyota blimp, sometimes even animals.
I'll try to choose a slow time, because I'm gonna be a lookie-loo, so not to waste your time. We're planning to replace our 2001 Galant sometime in the summer, although Hyundai currently has a killer deal
Thanks again!
P.S. You know you're setting yourself up for a mini, dont ya :P
to any ucm worth his salt it is a steaming turd that he wants to steal back of book.
Nobody wanted a new galant and no one looks for one used.
The bean counters need to count the ceo and top floor exec beans.it seems we as sales/dealers should get a bigger slice than we do.
All the factory does is design,assemble,set up a network of distribution and have a total laydown as a customer(the dealer he buys all the cars and parts they can make)
The Dealer has to handle all the heat from the customer for the wagons from hell the factory call cars break down.then the factory is always on you for csi.
in this day and age we can not sell the car the customer wants. A perfect car that never wears,never breaks and never needs service.
Until the day of the perfect car i think we should protect our information on cost of product and value of preowned.
Instead we could focus on csi and good old fashion horse trading type of sales.
No Free Ride and No one Gets Clubbed
When the perfect car comes out i will retire
Some, as managers get no factory money.
Some like Macys and invest money in the market instead of clothes.
Some of them drive nice cars that are paid for and some hate golf.
And some of them have nice houses in nice areas that are paid for.
a Beautiful daddys girl comes in looking at
GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED V8 4X4 .we
had a $8000 amv and she was trading a 90
bmw 325 cabrio
.I worked her and worked her and finally she
wanted to demo on more time.I ask for the
sales person to take her on the demo route
and she told me she would prefer that i show her
the jeep because she noticed a mark on it.
we go on the demo and she is telling me that
daddy has her on a budget and things are tough
but she just has to have the jeep one way or
another.
I tell her i am all in and the #s we discussed
would purchase the jeep. for the next few miles
she was silent.then out of nowhere she said if
i could do $550 a month she would make
deskman smile.
Deskman was still smiling when she came in for jeeps 2,3,4.
And some of them have nice houses in nice areas that are paid for.
Mommy and Daddys Money?
Or a 2 y.o. camcord with 30 k on it and a 2500 sqft non water/golf course view?
Attractive guys do well .i send them to subaru :surprise:
Unattractive women i send to subaru
Attractive Barbie/Kitten type women do well everywhere
Jip,
Have you been to F&I lately? :surprise:
LOL , I know that very well, I'm probably not even gonna try to trade it - I said we need to replace it. I'll probably give it to the oldest kid of a friend who'll be of driving age next year. I hate to see the car go, but seems like it's gonna run forever, and we need/want a new one.
I could never understand (even though it is in my favor) why the invoice price of the car is made public information to the customer.
I do not get to see that when I go shopping for
1. a Big-screen Plasma TV
2. A house
3. Diamonds
4. Gold

Any more requests? :P
Prostitute : When the check bounced!
realization comes later on.......not during :sick:
Much as I might see the humor when an airplane has an in-air emergency. It's my industry. I understand it & know something about what's happening. Some may sh** their pants, as I'm watching (& silently laughing at) the verklempt in the group while a minor issue unfolds.
So, while you lot make fun (&/or take advantage) of us, some are watching (well, reading) & learning.
I guess we'll all laugh all the way to wherever.
In my industry, people may die when screw-ups occur. In yours. . .
Is car sales a profession or a carny midway? I was swinging away from the carny model, but am always willing to be brought back to earth. Thanks, deskman.
"Party on." Bring those stories.
Knowledge is power.
The wide rear fenders wont help towing, they take up to much mirrror space.
Some of those guys actually LIKE Camcords and 2500 sq. foot paid off houses.
Funny, those are usually the ones with nothing to prove to anyone and a 830 Beacon score and no debt.
Good night for now going to Holiday party with the Mrs.
-moo
I'm buying the drinks, remember?
i could do $550 a month she would make
deskman smile.
LOL. I'm starting to like you deskman... but not in a "Subaru" way. So, ya pulling down $750k a year, look like Brad Pitt, have golf front property, and have a sex life Caligula would envy. You gotta have bad breath... yeller toenails... something?
