I have been looking for a decent used 2018 Trackhawk for over a year now.

I am totally amazed/shocked at how many Lemon law / buy back / auction (Canadian vehicle) Trackhawks,
with NO factory warranty, are still selling for $70K+.

There is definitely no shortage of people with more money than brains in this country.

13Cobra... what is your opinion on the 2020 Lincoln Aviator? My wife is looking at trading her Mercedes-Benz for a nicely equipped Reserve 2 level one with the Dynamic Handling. 3.0 EB with the 400 hp 415 tq. What are you hearing of reliability/quality on these? We never see them on the road, and was wondering if there is a reason for that?
Thanks,

To me, the reason you don't see many on the road is because there resale value has always been squat. A shame really. I always liked the Navigators.

They're awesome. I wouldn't purchase one though, I would lease it. The residuals are still falsely high, would cost you much less than purchasing.

Thanks for the reply... My wife puts to many miles on them to lease, 30-40k a year. So we would just be buying. Need to get outta this MB ASAP! The thing EATS tires... EXPENSIVE TIRES!

Ah. Well at 30-40k miles a year, it wouldn't be terrible to buy. Keep it for 3 years or so and get rid of it.

That's pretty much it... we try to trade them in around 90k, unless she gets bored with them before that! It will be nice to have her back in a domestic vehicle again. It's been since 2013 when we had a Taurus SHO that had the bad sync screens. I think we had the screen replaced 4 times in 2 years. That turned her to the DARK SIDE!

Hey Nick,
CV-19 hit China's car sales pretty hard, per the headlines. Curious how US dealers are being impacted- both new car sales and service. Particularly if service is still happening?
Are you anticipating significant promotions or discounts?

Hey Morgan!

As of late, it's business as usual. Haven't experienced anything odd. I'm sure some of the coasts' stores are seeing different issues. I imagine within 30-60 days all will be normal again.

There won't be Coronavirus sales, however I am giving away a free roll of toilet paper to whomever buys a car this week.

I can't speak for sales but service has definitely been slower for me. March is usually one of my best months (tax refunds being spent) but my numbers are way low so far this march, especially in the last week. When there aren't any cars waiting for us to open we know its gonna be a bad day

Right now we're pacing 108% in sales mo/mo, and 129% in service.

I'll sell anything.
