[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1957654, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]There was a time in my life that I was a car salesman. I learned a lot in that 3 or 4 months. One was that Lynn Hickey apparently had the philosophy that he could make it if he sold one car per family rather than doing fair deals and selling multiple cars to the same family over multiple years. I remember a story, and I'm uncertain as to its validity, but supposedly a salesman tossed the customer's car keys up on the roof to try to make the sale. Did it to the wrong guy as the dude was strong and picked the salesman up by his shirt front and shoved him against the brick wall about 1 foot off the ground. The salesman managed to find a ladder pretty quick, and he knew he had better not go back down until he had the customer's keys. I've always wondered if there was more than one set of keys up there. Now, speaking of shysters, remember Jim Ed Grant Ford in Yukon? He was the dealership that I was working for when he got "out-of-trust" with Ford and their financial folks. Every morning, the financial folks were walking the lot and looking at VIN numbers to see that any car that was sold was paid for to Ford. ("Out-of-trust" meant that the dealer was selling the cars but not paying Ford for those that were sold.) The salesmen were good salesmen doing an honest job, but Grant was the dishonest one.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
