As a little kid, I remember how exciting it was to look thru the Sears catolog, and dream about what I wanted!
Today with the internet, it is almost as good as that, instantaneously you can shop at a second's notice, and look for what ever your heart desires. Thats how I feel about being an Internet Manager, all prospective car buyers, can look night and day at anything car they desire, change the colors, add and take away equipment, and just over all do the same things, that they used to by driving around.
There is lots of ways to buy what you want, but do you really need to drive around lot to lot to try out different cars? Nope, not at all, most us have a good visual of what they want, and how much money they want to spend, then it is all down hill from there!
It is always a great day to open up an email from a customer, who might want a car, but it might be 3 months down the road, it happens, and it is not a bad thing. After all, not everyone wants to buy a car in the same day as the sales person believes they should!

Frustrated!
I spent the entire weekend, talking to customers, and of course now I am mentally worn out! If you think car sales is easy, try again! Especially in this rough gas, economy, almost or are we in a recession?
Needless to say, I am frustrated! What has me more frustrated than the things I cannot prevent, well, I have a near and dear friend who has a daughter, who went out, bought a car. Listened to mr I am the greatest salesman, who put her into a Ford, which is worth exactly half of what she bought it for! Now....she realizes her mistake, and wants out of it....guess what...it is nearly impossible with out it costing her $$$ and lots of it.
What sales person would have the no common sense to put a first time buyer into a 50K mile car is beyond me! No pride in his work obviously, and only caring about todays dollar, not tomorrows long term customer! Frustrating!
I think that the schools should teach money 101 in high school. come up with a monthly salary, have the kids pay real life bills from that salary, and do all the activities from it, and who ever can save money and stay positive will pass.
Lets just face it, I did not have a clue about credit or anything else when I first started out....and did I EVER make some mistakes.....now it is always a uphill climb to make it better!
Well that is all for tonight....
till next time :O
