Default Been quiet about a few things
Last Saturday I traded the 2000 328 for a 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SL. The Bimmer had 215K miles on it and was starting to have $$shit going bad. The new car looks like this (not my real car)



Black with grey interior, 123K miles and no problems. It's filthy since it's been raining ever since I started driving it. Customer of mine traded it for a 2013 Accord LX.


And on another note......I have an interview with the Security company I worked 5 years for on Thursday. I really want out of the car bidness......

I would think that would be helpful in your business. Don't you typically make more money on the "well, what's my payment" crowd than on the, "what's my out the door price on this car, the one I am looking at the exact same thing at 6 other dealerships" buyer?

Aren't uneducated buyers the ones that buy the extended warranties, the mop-n-glo, the ones that receive the higher packs, etc.?
