First Post of The New Year

So far the new year has been a challenge, but I have been through challenges before and will get through these. Cars are flying out the door and new customers are coming in everyday. I hope to keep up with this blog updated a little better than the last year.

New challenge, our staff has changed, sometimes you think you know a person and then out of no where you don't know them. I have never said the car business was easy and make no bones about how difficult it is now. With the internet so prevelant in our daily lives people can find cars anywhere. But what they forget is that they have to get the car home and trust who ever is selling them the car a thousand miles away has told them the truth about the car. So people go ahead to risk that whole scenerio to save $500. We are not talking about a coat or computer you buy on ebay, this is a major purchase and to have someone just talk to you over the phone about it and tell you everything will be ok, is that really worth a $500 savings?

New challenge, good clean previously owned cars are hard to come by. Sure I can get you in the car you are looking for but you will have to prepared for a couple of things to go wrong with it. The old addage you get what you pay for has never been more true than the current times we are living in. Now I know some people get lucky and buy a car for a steal and nothing goes wrong but you cannot take that as a 100% fact that it will happen everytime. It happens to us too, we think we have done all the homework on a car, buy it get it here and the radio goes out. It happens, but there are people such as myself out there working to make sure that doesn't happen.

Yet through all the ups and downs we are still here doing exactly what we set out to do. Find a car that you have requested and at the price you have requested. Sometimes it takes forever to do it, but we do it. And enjoy it the whole way, why else would we do it? For the money? Try being a car dealer one day and you will understand that is not for the money, I take this home with me everyday, there is no off switch. It is not for the money, it is for our customer.

By the way have you seen the new Porsche 918 Spyder Race Car. Wow.
