Im suprised more auto makers aren having deals right now Basil Toyota, only one lay off, but it wasn’t really a lay off. He just sucked. I’m glad to be where I am during a “recession”. All these fancy schmancy dealerships have hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills every month. We’re simple. ---

GM stores in WNY did a little bit worse than the GM national average for sales decline in November. Maybe Paddock should invest more in service bays. I know he is land locked but I have seen dealers who can cover their expenses with service and parts revenue alone. Paddock might have the loadest voice but he is definitly not hurting the most. ---
