First off I want to apologize for not getting back to some of you yet. As many of you know I did not have internet at home until now. I signed up for the free 50 days of AOL until I find something better.
Second of all... I LOVE MY NEW JOB!!! The guys I work with are great. They are all very patient and they take time to show me everything they can
At first it was a bit overwhelming taking some of the test. Believe me those vehicle test go very in depth! But after doing that it was time to test drive the vehicles! I just got through every one of them today.
The most notable new vehicles I drove were:
500 - These cars are simply amazing. The CVT transmission coupled with the 3.0 Duratec is just jaw dropping. It handles the road firmly but in a supple manner and it has plenty of get up and go, especially on hills, there's no down shifting whatsoever so the power is immediatley there!
Mustang - I drove an 05 Screaming Yellow V6 with black stripes. The V6 is amazing. It has plenty of power and just handles the road so well. Not to mention all the stares I got
F-350 6.0 PSD - One word... "Torque!" I pulled off the lot and gave it a bit of gas and this thing still spun the tires! Just imagine full throttle. It is a monster and I love it!
Escape Hybrid - This SUV is just amazing! It runs on the battery up to 25 mph then the gas engine seamlessly kicks in. I'll be honest, the Escape Hybrid feels like it has A LOT more power than it is rated at!
And last but not least....
A 2001 "True Blue" Bullitt
It was towards the end of the day and Jeff (my manager) tossed me the keys and told me to pull it to the front. It had Magnaflow exhaust and just sounded heavenly!
Take it easy guys and I'll do my best to be on more often when I get home

Hey Andy, glad to hear that you had a great 1st week. Good luck in class on Monday. If you need directions to the PA dealer building, just give me a call. It's only about 20 minutes from my dealership. Just remember, with this job, as serious as it is, is to HAVE FUN. This is what my boss says to me all the time. When you keep this in mind, the stress isn't nearly as bad. Talk to you later, and way to go

Hey thanks guys! This dial-up connection is horrible but I'm managing to get on the site now
Doug, the Bullitt was a trade in, it only has a bit over 9K on the odometer
I can't wait to start getting out on the floor. My teacher in my class put something in good context. He said "If you are honest and polite and knowledgeable you will do great! Just don't take it personally if someone doesn't buy from you. Its their loss not yours and it doesn't mean anything about your performance because 7 out of 10 times you will not have a sale."

Let us know when you close your first sale. That'll really make you feel good.

I can't wait to see what the Bullitt fetches. I would imagine a pretty penny for the low mileage. Check out Sloan Ford to see the inventory. I would imagine the Bullitt will be up pretty soon. Oh and there will be a 2003 Azure Blue Mach 1 up there too shortly

Nah, I like my 99 just fine. We are trading in the Element for a 2000 Taurus SES this weekend most likely. The Element is just getting too costly. With the Taurus I can lower the payments by almost $175 per month. That and its relatively low miles with 58k. The funniest thing is that the Taurus gets better gas mileage than the Element too. I've only been averaging about 20.5 mpg overall with the A/C off, cruise control set at 55 mph on the highway, and hardly ever taking it over 3,000 rpms. Its just not aerodynamic and too heavy for the engine it has.

You're exactly right Jeff! Carl and Anne Petrus were my first customers
Today is going to be a bit rough though. I had to come in on my day off to go dealer trade and deliver a vehicle :bang:
