Recession? Not at this Place!

[Deep C]

Man! In a half century of life I never saw a car dealership like the one I have been working with for a few days. I made Mini a deal when she started driving last year. Keep the grades all A, no tickets, no wrecks and I'd upgrade her from the old rolling tackle box to a pretty good car that would carry her through college.
Not only did she pull the grades but did so in all AP college credit courses, got selected as a member of the National Honor Society, won regional first prize with her debate skills, and the list goes on. She's also held down two jobs, didn't get a ticket and managed to avoid hitting anything when she did a sideways slide last month.
We've been looking since June. Good grief it was painful. First we did the favorite car of the week thing. Then we short listed a few models. She of course had to make that a nightmare by being real picky on color and other shit that I don't consider important. Pissing a way a few good choices because of dumb stuff I thought we'd never score "the car".
Last week we turned up the heat. Me being formerly in high volume boat sales gave me an edge in how to shop and seal a deal in our favor. We had found an older Beemer 323I that was ringing most of the bells. Low miles but still an older car and a reputation for being expensive on the eurotrash upkeep crap. Still it made it in budget with room to spare and it was "cute"...
I decided to turn it up a niotch before pulling the trigger and took her on a weekend long tour of all the lots in the county. Then we stumbled onto "the place".
This place in the middle of nowhere didn't advertise. It does only off lease stuff. Late model top condition stuff and very fair price. This place doesn't bullshit around. The price marked is the price. They will show you the curb if you try. They would take a trade but will insult you with a low ball because they're gonna flush it at auction for first bid. Financing, they did it as a courtesy for some but suggested that you come in with your own and guns loaded if you were going that route.
Last nighte I stood in amazement . There are ten sales desks in the room, three F+I guys, and four desks dedicated for closing. Every last one full! I stood jaw open as I watched 16 cars sold and delivered in two hours!
We found a creampuff Nissan Altima, right color, two years old, way way low miles and a mind blowin low price... We slept on it last night and she had come all the way off that Beemer ego trip bullshit by wake up time... We went to get it and the place was even more crowded. Parking blocks away on the side streets we were number five in line to be closed for our salesman alone. Son of *****! This guy worked at a blistering pace doing paperwork and all thats involved with delivering a car. The closing tables were jammed. Four hours in line as they processed others waiting. Maybe fifty cars rolled off the lot while we were there.
Car carriers pulled up behind the place off loading eight at a time through the detail shop and back on to the lot to fill the slots that were emptying. Most of the stuff rolling out of there was high end stuff. Benz, Jag, Volvo, Beemer, Infinity, very little "regular" stuff like we bought. I'm guessing that well over a million in product left today...
Finally at the closing table I cut the check, signed the checked boxes, had no sales pitch crap trying to sell me stuff I wouldn't want and out of there. Friendly, professional, but a well oiled machine. What an operation!

Place is called Off Lease Only has a .com to go with it too.

www.offleaseonly.com

Again its not your typical kind of auto dealer. They have what they have and they move them. No negotiating and yes they are as busy of a place as I have ever seen.
I saw that they had similar cars of certain types with comparable miles and age at different prices. Minis car for example. Altima 2.5 all whistles and bells and about 30k miles. Hers was 9999 while onters wer 10499 and even 11999. It was explained that they pass savings (or extra cost) directly. Her car has a ding near the trunk maybe the size of a dime. They're straight up and call that "damaged" and thus discounted deep. We had to look hard for it. Carfax shows 100% clean and clear. The dealer that much more honest and straight forward.
