Hello to all!

My name is Marv Eleazer. I was informed of this Forum by a good friend and am excited to join you all! I started in the auto business in 1979 as a salesperson and began my career in Finance 10 years later. I've been at my current location in Valdosta at Langdale Ford since 1999 as Finance Director. I've been a member of another F&I forum sponsored by F&I Magazine since 9/05 and have been looking to broaden my scope a bit so I've landed here. I hope I can learn more about this exciting business as well as lend some expertise along the way.

I've attended the F&I conference for the last six straight years and highly recommend attendance since it's a great place to network and discover the latest happenings in the industry. I've had articles published by that magazine as well as an article published this month in Ward's Dealer Business mag.

I look forward to your comraderie.

Welcome Marv. I'm sure you'll find a home here quickly. It's also nice to get some Ford blood in the mix too.

Welcome aboard Marv....This site is quite enlightening and as you will find. As possum said, a life saver for lots of folks this past year but very informative and timely in more issues than you can believe.

I've invited a slew of my buds from the other forum so hopefully they will join and the party will get lively. I got a couple of emails this evening that a few were coming so we will see. Thanks for having me aboard. Jules4jeeps is a dear friend and I am her uncontested #1 fan.

That's great.

As a quick FYI, the forum has been getting attacked with fake accounts for the past few weeks so I've placed all new members in a "moderation" que where I screen their IP Addresses before they're allowed to post. This has eliminated the SPAM but it means a real account won't be able to post until I get a chance to approve the account.

Concerning the other forum, no problem. I know there are a lot of people who are members of multiple forums - I think that's great. I'm not sure if the other forum offers Private Messages or a hidden section, so you may want to familiarize yourself with those features. (AREA 51 is a hidden section that con only be viewed by members.)

I laughed when I read this....

Maybe we should promote the forum with a new slogan -

"DealershipForum, bringing the dealership community closer together one member at a time...."
