[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 15627354, member: 138337"] I know a few stores just local to me that have been open 35+ years and I don't know how they made it to 10 years. I'm sure if you've ever looked at regional sales numbers and peer down towards the bottom where stores sell maybe 10-15 new cars during the ENTIRE year, you've asked yourself a time or two why the manufacturer allows them to stay in business. Truth be told, as long as there's money, a dealership that's 25+ years old, is really hard for a manufacturer to close down. I know two guys that own stores and carry less than 5 new vehicles in inventory...they use them as demos, and that's it. They don't care if they sell a damn car. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's not like that every where. One of my service advisers has been divorced, but aside from him, none of my other 50 employees have been. It's difficult to exit once you get in to it because if you do a decent job, the amount of income is hard to be matched any where else without years of promotions and raises. I loved car sales because every given month I made what I worked for and didn't have to rely on anyone else. All positions are disposable, at nearly any job. If you're good at what you do, you are not disposable in the dealer's eyes. If you are poor at it, you're not going to want to work there anyways. [/QUOTE]
