Been to the car dealer lately?

I don't think that anything is moving. I would hate to be a car salesman right now.

Pretty soon it will look like this....

Re: Been to the car dealer lately?

I made about $5k last month so it's not as bad as most people think. And our sales are higher in volume & gross than last year and year previous.

Great shot !

If I were selling cars, I would definitely want to have some econo boxes on the lot.

Colorado_FJ_83, are big trucks and SUVs still moving or have they dropped off badly ?

Re: Been to the car dealer lately?

Haven't sold an F150/Expedition/Explorer in over a month. Focus, Escape, and Edge are the only vehicles selling at the moment.

We can't keep a Focus on the lot, plus they are cheaper than a Caliber/Corolla/Civic/Cobalt so it makes justifying their price easy.

Re: Been to the car dealer lately?

Good time to buy a gas guzzler!

Bet they would go for about cost.
