We're finally drinking the Cool Aid for about 5 months now and here you go... Used Car Dept 39% increase in net profit YTD 22% increase in volume YTD 2.5% decrease in Gross Profit but made up in W/sale and F&I from increased volume. 178% increase in W/Sale Gross Profit YTD (were retailing out of our old age units rather than taking huge W/sale losses. This brings average retail GP down because were pricing our old age units to sell retail at a small gross but were paying commissions and making money in the back end. We still have alot to learn but we're following the target pricing guidelines we set up. Thanks, Dave Miller General Manager I here ya.

I too, fight the attacks from those who won’t even try something different. My approach is not to get frustrated, but rather to become inspired and try even harder. I sense that your success has come in the same manner, so keep the faith and congratulation on your victories. Dale Pollak Dear CaptGadget,
