Those were interesting numbers. The most interesting was the cars where sales were up in this market; Not surprisingly, Hyundai continues its winning ways with the largest increase in sales by volume at 45.91 percent. Newcomers to the I Know How To Sell Cars In A Down Market list include Nissan, up 19.94 percent, and Mercedes-Benz, up 19.11 percent. Subaru and Kia again perform flawlessly, posting gains of 23.95 and 18.27 percent,...

The speedo on my 4runner matches my GPS speed. When I had a Tacoma, it was 3mph slower than the GPS.

I have sold and delivered, literally thousands of new and used cars and I have yet to have anyone check their tires.   Hey, if that makes you feel better, go for it!   I have to admit, I NEVER check my tire pressures. I do look at them once in awhile but that's it. On our Hondas, I rarely check the oil levels and when I do, they are always full.   I no longer speed or at least, I try not to. In my younger days...

God forbid that anyone would actually take responsibility for their own actions and safety ! The Audi deal was a big deal about nothing and so is this. IMO.

Well first of all the law says you can't go over the SL, it says nothing about allowing for speedometer error.   Now for my example, its not a burb but a town in rural Northern Illinois. I can't remember the name but its on Route 20 between I-90 and I-90 (nope thats not a typo),   But since you mentioned burb you reminded me of Stone Park a very small burn in the near western burbs that is a well known speed trap....

i don't think anyone is 'praying for a manufacturer to screw up'. what exactly happened is still to be determined. the step by step back pedal from one issue to another does not inspire confidence that the real issue is being addressed. i had someone at work stop by to tell me about the pedal issue with regards to the Prius. They have one and know my sister has one and wanted to make sure she knew about it. They were alerted to...

Yup so maybe even if you do get bailed out by the gov't you can still sell cars if you have some good cars. Chrysler was so screwed over by Merc and then Cerberus was so clueless they have nothing to sell.   A couple of the Jeeps are still good but other then that they have no good cars that will sell in any volume.

"...LOL! Now I see..."   richard64, I would consider you a moderately fast drive now.

i don't think anyone is 'praying for a manufacturer to screw up'.   From what I read and hear, some people most certainly are.   Back to sales from the frontlines - I also request that the dealers do not put any advertising on - decals, stickers, whatever. What I will do is if the dealer is good to me, then I will tell people about them - good word-of-mouth advertising is better than plastering a sticker on,...

All your posts are solicitations for warrantyelite. Solicitation is not allowed on Edmunds.As said before millions of time on this thread,all 3rd party aftermarket warr are crap,worthless and rip people off. They never pay any claims and can go BK anytime. The manuf warr is the best. And the original manuf warr can be bought online at any new car dealer or at your local dealer.   Warrantygold was A+ rated by BBB. They went bust. A...
