Technology industry joke - "The only difference between a technology salesman and a car salesman is that the car salesman knows he's lying."
I certainly do remember.
The last two cars I have bought both came from Leith dealerships for that very reason.
He must not have been getting his share.
Good get...kudos, you guys..
for what?
Maybe. Or perhaps he was just honest?
BTW:
Hendrick's annoying jingle goes "HENDRICK! I Like It Like That!"
This is an auto dealership, isn't it? What does he expect.

You may find the links in #12 interesting...
Two years ago, I bought a conversion van from Hendrick Chevy in Cary. A couple of months after the sale, I received a check from the dealership saying that I was due a rebate that they had overlooked. Their auditor had found the mistake. They could have kept the money and I'd never have been the wiser.
>>It also contends records held by the dealership showed the add-on charges, but the paperwork given to the customers did not. <<
For that alone, I would vote guilty and want jail time for the manager.
That's quite an interesting story.
I would like to know how many car dealers actually do cheat the customer?
