The problem with cars is the volume cars have become commodities where lowest price wins and the higher priced cars with decent profit have such small volumes that it’s just difficult to make any money on them.

The Focus used to start at 18K I think? The new Escape is 5K more for an S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
