Why Is Making A Profit A Bad Thing?

Why is making a profit a bad thing?  I actually have no idea as to the answer to this question.  When I first git into the car business some 21 years ago that’s the first thing that I was trained on.  These days big government is wanting to run everything and Capitalism is considered a vulgar word.  Slowly but surely big government is wanting to destroy the “American Dream.”   In the car business it started with “Cash for Clunkers.”  You know, when you traded in your junk car an Uncle Sam…

No Down Payment? Then Don't Buy A Vehicle.

This is one of the major problems that consumers find themselves in when they purchase an automobile.   Buying a vehicle with no money down.  Believe it or not, this is the worst thing a consumer can do when they make a big ticket purchase.  Why?  You see when you buy a vehicle with no money down a consumer not only pays a higher interest rate, the’re also upside down on their new vehicle.  In order to keep this from happening you want to at least put 10 to 12% down.  That way you are not…

Woody Butts Chevrolet Doing Away With True Car !

  I'm proud to announce that the dealership I work at, Woody Butts Chevrolet woodybuttschevy.com , in Cochran, Ga. is doing away with True Car as a lead provider. I'm happy about this because it just doesn't make good business sense to pay for leads that you lose money on @ the time of sale.  As Automobile Professionals, we must continue to protect our industry from Vulchers.

Why Are Used Car Prices High?

     When I got into the car business some 21 years ago it was easy for a consumer to save some money by purchasing a used vehicle.  Unfortunately, that isn't the case any longer. So, what happened?
