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
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.
Man the auto industry is kinky

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
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.

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
