And while we're on the topic of markup... I would be happy to retail order a vehicle for anyone in the country at $100 over invoice for every model line but Mustang GT, which I can do for $350 over invoice. Super Duty, Fusion, Expedition, whatever you want. (sorry, Ford only...no Lincoln or Mercury) Let me know if you are interested!

If you told me that I could list all of my vehicles online and sell them all over the country to people, deliver them, and do business totally over the internet, I think this dealership would be all in! Unfortunately, people want a place to go and test drive cars, look at different models, colors, and the likes... I look forward to the day when we sell everything over the internet and all of our transactions are electronic. Anything to make this process easier. I hated the hassle of buying a car, and that's why I went to work in the car business...to make it an easy process. Now, I know a lot of dealerships are sleazy, or represent themselves in a not-so-nice way...but at my store we strive to be low pressure, easy going, no hassles, and provide a great experience. It doesn't always happen, but then again, no dealership can make everyone happy.

So wait a minute, you mean that only FORD dealers are looking to make a profit? Then how does the local Toyota store (along with Hyundai, Kia, VW, Mazda, and Chrysler) build a brand new "auto mall" with eight new buildings and all sorts of fancy equipment & marble floors, flat screen tv's, and the such? Ok, I was just curious...because around here our customers seem to think we're sometimes "not for profit" as well...we have to remind our customers sometimes that we're not ashamed to make a fair profit on our vehicles.

Dark Green Satin, along with True Blue and Dark Toreador Red, are only Job #1 colors...which means we lost the abillity to order them about three weeks ago. I got three trucks in that last week of ordering in these colors because they are not available for the rest of the model year...
