Man the auto industry is kinky

Post by Flowmastered87GL »

I dont want to go into too many specifics.... but today... I just felt so dirty. Charging too much (on cars advertised for less... same stock number I mean) and slipping stuff people didnt want into deals.

Work is REALLY starting to make me feel super-immoral.

I have not yet turned in any notice to work, but I have started looking seriously at banking. The wells fargo across the street has a sweet sounding job :D

By the way I have a finance degree so it would be nice to actually be somewhere where I would have a chance to USE it.

I've always found this Confessions of a Car Salesman article to be interesting.

Hmm odd that the forum ate my post from last night.

Anyway I found the mention of the "green peas" funny. We have a live one right now. Clueless... came to work the first week with BRAND new shirts... still creased from the package :roll:

I lost GreenPea status my second month (I started in July and lost the name in mid august) All it took was having 10 marks on the board.

I was wondering where that came from, when I went to post in the other thread I wound up getting some sort of error message. I thaught it was from having a quote inside another quote so it trimed it out and reposted. I was a bit surprised to find the other post.

Yup, selling cars is a dirty business, but someone has to do it. I feel dirty about what we do to a used car once and awhile, to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, but still go to the stealership every day. Someday I will get smart and get the heck out. But when people are dumb, and pay more for something than it is worth, hey, thats the American way of makin a buck. Mike
