Otherwise, mentally doing great!

- meeting new people and just chit chatting
- sitting into the newest and greatest (well.. for a 50K car lol)
- experiencing just all kinds of cars, and management encourages it, because only when you drive your own used inventory, you can then find its strength and weakness then match them to the clients wants and needs, otherwise a real shit example of a competitor can be your ticket to selling your own new inventory lol
- and most of your service techs are car guys thru and thru, so break/lunch has always been too short
- managers have been great, absolutely no micro-managing, but do give you actual advice when you are stuck in a deal and goes up for help, also.... car guys thru and thru, cant stress that enough, we can talk for hours and hours on the new GT3 or R32, if it wasn't for work, I would actually just sit at the managers desk because they just have so much insight on the topics that I want to know more about....

Hoping to keep the momentum going and hoping to have actual cars to sell next year lolo, our new car inventory is still a joke lol
Man, goes to show that when you really love what you're doing, you're going to really succeed with it.

I started out reading the original post thinking this sounded like such a bad idea, but then I remembered just how honest-to-god no-BS, genuinely happy and excited you are about cars. And I vividly remember that from something like 15 years ago!

I'd buy a car from you even if it wasn't the best deal: sometimes the value of a sales experience is not calculated in dollars.
