Post #23626--"...Nissan's sale ends Jan. 2nd..."
SO...which is it? :confuse:

There's a new question and answer feature on this site. Apparently, in order to get things running, they had a bunch of people create dummy accounts and started posting random questions all over it. I started answering some of them, but then quickly realized what was happening.
Well, guess what? Big Brother is deleting my questions and answers immediately after I post them. Apparently my good humor is not appreciated.
Go over there and start having some fun!
-moo
That is what I am saying... it is both!
Anyday of the week you will see adds in the paper, TV, Radio,etc.
On Jan 2nd., just like every month in the year the incentives change to what ever the manufacturer decides.
But every month there will be incentives, store discounts, over allownces on trades, etc,...
It is called advertising. Advertising is a tool for retail businesses to get there name in your head so you come buy our product, know where our store's are located.
It will never go away :surprise:
Next will be presidents day sale, next end of month sale, spring time sale, hot sizziling summer deals, thanksgiving day sale, end of year sale.
So it doesn't really matter does it. Any time of the year is a good time to buy.
I wish everyone a safe and a Happy New Year :shades:

Moo,
Congratulations you are top award winner for posts on that page :shades:

That's even with a ton of my answers being deleted. Check it out, I think you'll get a kick out of it.
Only downside is, my humor is NOT appreciated. It's like George Orwell's 1984 over there.
-moo
I wonder who's credibilty we are going talk about now?
GP
Same to you and everyone here.
Congratulations on the Pats 16-0 season.
BTW, I did not make a bet with you, I only expressed my doubt that they could go 16-0 and I was proven wrong about that. They are the best team I’ve ever seen and coming from a city that has won 5 Super Bowls I think I have an idea of what the mood is like in the Boston area.

I know! I won't get into that spitting match though.
-moo
Yeah the mood in Boston is exellent... :shades:
For the bet to be honest I can't remeber who was challenging it I do remeber you suggesting it would be tough. All in all though I was just having fun with it. If I knew how to go back and figure that I would. I don't have the patients to figure it out. I spend most of "patients" on customers
Anyway I think Joel was going to look it up. Either way it is great beinga fan in Boston. Now it looks as though the Celtics are going win the NBA championship :surprise:
Your alright Jmonroe, a little " old school " .... And that's all good

I did some research and on post #18877... You said" nobody is going to go 16-0... no bet made that time
Than on #18907 you said " Still want to make deal? The other guy ain't no Greanpea...
I took that as a bet :P But really no bet made I agree
Joel on the other hand... :surprise:
Post #18889 ... Joel said he would end every post with the sig " Imports are superior" for a week
Epiney on post # 18844 said he would buy a versa at MSRP with the propack and all the goodies... I will be available all week for you to come in Epiney... I just hope we can get him appoved... LOL
GP
Joel is about to lose internet service for a week and won't be able to post
tsk tsk (shaking head). You didn't give them the "snake treatment" again did you?
Big Brother just won't stand for that sort of thing mooman. :P
Thank you for following up the word "old", with "school". I like that from the younger generation. When I have disagreements with my adult sons, they always say you're "old" (period) and don't understand the new ways of doing things.
They get that lack of respect from their mother.

Ahh well, there are some real folks over there with real questions. I'll answer those.

In thinking about it, it seems it could work in the buyer's favor if the sales tax rate was high or the rebates low. For this guy I figured it came to an offer of $325 over invoice on a sporty domestic model.

I should have asked you this when I had you on the line the other day.
Why don’t you rent cars that are from the competition? Wouldn’t this be a good way to have first hand knowledge when customers say the XXX or YYY has this/does this, like this? I know you can’t argue with them or put down the competition but being able to carry on a good conversation couldn’t hurt.

1. The lever that moves the driver's seat fore and aft kept getting caught in the seam of my trousers so when I would try to step on the gas or brakes I had to reach down and grab my pants and take them off the lever.
2. Getting the keys out of the ignition was also a chore. I don't know why GM does that but you have to push a button, make sure the stars are aligned with the moon before the keys will come out.
3. The ride was too floaty. People complain about the Camry ride but compared to that olds the Camry rides like a hot rod.
I do want to rent a new 08 Malibu to see what all the fuzz is about. However comma, you can't find any at rental or dealer lots.

What a game! Did they check under the helmet to see if that was really Eli and not Peyton!!! If you like football, you had to love that game. Hats off to the Gints, didn't think they would have it in 'em. Let's see if it carries to the playoffs...
I, too, did not expect 16-0. But that's why I don't wear the grey hoodie with the cutoff sleeves and make $$$$ (and pay $$$ fines!). Nor wear a #12 on my chest... Wow, without the use of the videotaped defensive signals, the Pats could only go 15-0!
Now, to keep in the spirit of this topic: Like the Pats, my streak continues unbroken: No new car with a big red ribbon in the driveway for, like, the 30th Christmas in a row... I got snow tires. And a V1 radar detector...

With that being said, GP I can't remember what I said on the bet but I think for a week I have to sign every message with something to the effect that Imports are superior to anything Ford makes.
You come up with the verbiage and I will pay my debt for a week. The week will start ticking when you tell me what to say.
Gotta go, got 3 deliveries waiting
My Grandfather hates it when my aunts and uncles say the same thing to him too
Just a little jab :P ... If I didn't think you could take it I would keep quiet but I can think your still playing with a full deck.
GP
But there is one guy each on a couple pages asking everything from how do you get XM radio to how do you rebuild a 1966 chevy corvette... they just don't seem legit. I understand wanting to create something :confuse:
Next thing they will be asking is how do you change blonker fluid?
GP
I would take that deal all day!!!!
GP
When you work at dealers you get to drive trade ins all the time to get a feel for them.
Also manufacturers do ride and drives and bring 2-3 other vehicles that compete with those vehilces for that reason.
I am sure Mack ment to say that also

Yeah Joel you said that in post #18889
I can wait to the new year since you are evry busy with 3 delievries

Gee...how nice. You don't know how much it means to me to hear someone who is representative of all the posters here who really understands me.
To hear Mrs. jmonroe tell it, I never had one of those.

Aren't all the names on these boards made up?
2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2014 BMW 428i convertible, 2015 Honda CTX700D
I did 10 new cars this month, a record for me, along with delivering four new cars today also a record.
Used car traffic has evaporated here so I didn't sell a single used car all month and the whole store only did five used cars.
A little "old" sarcasm... I wouldn't expect anything else. Good to see you haven't lost a step.
Keep up the good work. With out your wisdom this board wouldn't be the same :surprise:
GP
Mack, please let us know if you can find one of those elusive, fuzzy Malibus! I love my Camrys and can't understand why people criticize them for having a floaty ride and no handling. Then again, I remember clearly the last time an NFL team went undefeated. And I learned to drive on one of those 60s Detroit barges.
Have a very Happy New Year and be safe.!

Thanks for noticing Mack, I got out at 2pm. Celebrated early went to bed early made it to work on time. Half the crew is missing. Not one person around for miles either.
Have a great day everyone!

However, if I decide to buy a new car this year, I reserve the right to attempt to cut into the "prosperous" part of the equation.
I do truly hope that the "Healthy" part of the equation is a big part of '08 and beyond for all...
Now, who want to sell me a new '08 Jag XK at $20k off of MSRP? Note: This query in no way creates or implies a contract to purchase any vehicle at any time in the present or future. And the names have been changed just for the fun of it. There are no innocents here!

I just saw a bunch of new Jags towed from a wreck off I-70 last night. I'm sure one of the XKs can be bought for $20k off MSRP.
Healthy and prosperous to all and we reserve the right to cut into your prosperous part of the equation if the opportunity arises.
Mac and Deskman - the healthy will come to fruition for you too.
Best to all - including the lurkers.
I know some left because there simply wasn't anyone available to wait on them.
My feet and knees are killing me. We are closed today but I'm locked in the store, working away on my month end reports.
I think I'm getting too old for this!
Looks like 85 new and 29 used for those three days.
Great way to end the year.
Thanks and the same from me to everyone here.
I've wondered for a while now how many lurkers are out there. Maybe if it wasn't against Edmunds rules, our host/s could tell us how many hits this board gets in a day. Why should we have all the fun? The dues for posting ain't all that bad. :surprise:
So Captain, what do you think it will take to get one or two to become non-lurkers? This might be a good campaign for the new year. Maybe this would have happened already but if they have bad gramer/spellin, they're probably afraid of 'richard'.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Every try rollerblading... or maybe one of those Segeways? May be easier on the joints.
Also, saw a national Honda commercial saying the Odyssey was the best selling minivan in America. I couldn't read the small print at the bottom of the screen, but I'm assuming it was for a particular month or week. Chrysler minis outsell Hondas 4:1 believe.
If I recall correctly, Tidester wrote that 80% of those that log on to this site are lurkers.
I've never understood you lurkers out there. Why lurk? You don't think you are good enough or worthy to post? You must have questions and comments. So, get off yo hinnies and start posting. Jmonroe and I can't do it all. :mad:
