I'm hoping to drive this beater for another year or so then pick up something new, but with the way things are going with gas, ever rising utility bills and a recent raise that pretty much breaks even with the cost of living, who knows.

IF you don't sell it, someone else will.  So, what do you think the salesperson makes?  I can recall selling Lincolns & Mercures for $125. over dead dealer invoice and making $30. on the sale.  This is a business ?  Hookers make more.<br>Quit.  Bought a lunchenette.  Worked 1/2 the hours, made 4 x the  $$<br>No sympathy here for buyers nor dealers, but yes for the manufacturers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sandy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 27th 2007 11:25AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
