I miss the car business in many ways but this sure isn't one of them. Who in the ivory tower could ever think this is a good idea? Unfortunately most of them. I now have more margin on a Yamaha TTR-50. A child's motorcycle.

I'd love to hear their enlightened explanation of that ridiculous margin. conn02 you are exactly correct, no one......NO ONE...will believe you. But what the hell, you are a car dealer, you lie all the time? Right? Hard not to think that with all the ridiculous margins, stair step programs, monthly quotas..........and on and on.

The current state of affairs is a shame. My Grandfather passed away in 1988. My father in 1994. Both running a successful Nash dealership (with all the changes to the line up until our final line Jeep) that was willed to Me at the ripe old age of 34, and hopefully willed to my son (if he truly had the ability and interest, and he does). Those men would not believe the state of the industry today. A shame really.
