Bottom Line: A dealer can earn 3% up to 9% today (ROI =return on investment)?
A guy can easily earn 5% risk free in U.S. Treasures. The extra 4% comes with a lot of risk. Another 4% is $40K per each million invested.
Is it worth the extra headaches?
The Banks will kill you with fees and interest.
Does Rick Hendrick sales make me a gay guy that wants to buy a stupid out of production Camaro? No way.
We have ask if old Rick likes guys over girls? Yes, there is that.
I'd never buy a Camaro for any reason. .
I am just a dumb-ass consumer.
We have no big money as most dealers have. We know smart dealers make tons of revenue every year despite any microsmatic issues.
Rick Hendrick is doing really well. It's easy to make big money by selling cars.
I am posting in early 2024 when the basic original GT350 is rare and gets a premium.
The 2015 GT350 had only 137 cars so very rare.
The 2016 GT350 was 6169 cars with the 2017 GT350 at 6838 cars (277 GT30R).
Very nice!
I still own my new 2019 Mustang GT350 #K1868 (5400 miles including two track events). It's mostly a garage queen today as I want to keep the low-mile 5.2L FPC engine.
I am looking for a nice previously owned one.
So, a Ferrari California is inexpensive to service? The valves adjust themself?
My 2023 Porsche Turbo is $900 to service.
My 2019 GT350 is $160 to service,
My 1972 Porsche is $75 for me to service (~10 quarts of oil + filter + me adjusting the valves [the old mechanical valve era]).

When was the Mazda made? Who really cares? It's a girl car.
A 2012 Ferrari Cal is worth ~$100K but the regular service includes removing the entire engine. The regular Maintenace is very expensive.
I had a 2011 Mustang GT. Great 5.0 car. Sticker here:
Great car.
I am more than happy with all Mustangs and a few trucks that I bought from trusted dealers.
I still own my current 2019 Mustang:
My last 2004 Ford F350 4X4 was a great tow vehicle.
I'd say that I have the Big Dog in this fight as a FPC 2019 GT350.
The new Gt500 engine looks like this over the older guys:
The current GT500 may be the last of this bred of engines made by Ford.
That is what I said.
I heard that GM pays many spys to watch their dudes in the big Tower as well as the UAW guys. You can get fired or assigned to clean the toilets at GM headquarters.
I say do not post anymore.
The Big Three and the UAW have spy's that monitor your opinions. I say stop posting here about your job. This is not TicTalk.
This is The Current Vehicle Market thread. I think the future market will change from Easter Sunday and the remaining nine months of this year.
We know that EV's are getting weaker (demand and balance sheets). Those expensive taxpayer subsidies on EV's are expiring. The hybrid is the new...
I would buy the new Dark House except that is it slower than my 2019 Mustang GT350.
I hope Nick will enter my name in what will be the fastest S550/S650 Mustang ever made to date. They call it the S650X so far. It will be the fastest in the non-blower track ready Mustang ever made.
My...
I am still looking for a new 2024/2025 Mustang performance car.
The Dark Horse seems like the Slow Horse to me.
I hope the Performance Team at Ford will build a good Mustang before they are transferred to the Ford EV unit production facility (watch out for EV fires).
I say Jacky sold tons of cars and trucks while having many loyal customers. He was 50 miles from me.
I first meet him at the Atlanta Dragstrip during my college years. We raced in bracket racing. He gave me his card. I looked at it later as he was the owner of several Ford dealerships. [Wow]
I...
