With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day a man will put me away and...
I can rest my soul

Fucking interesting; some of you guys know I've been working crazier than ever since the other finance manager quit before Thanksgiving.

We've yet to find a replacement but that's ok cause I can run the department solo.

Just last night, our sales manager quit.

We're down to 1 finance director (me) and 1 sales manager at my store now.

 

Uh oh. Will that work? Big dealership? How many vehicles you guys move a month?

 

It's a big company, but our store moves mainly 120 units a month; 80 or so being new cars.

We normally run 2 finance and 2 sales; average finance manager touches 60-70 car deals a month and since the other guy left, I've been handling those +100 per month.

Now with 1 sales manager, its going to be damn near impossible to get eyes on all the deals brought to the desk since I'll be contracting constantly.

 

@cruiserguy

you should totally grab me sun visors too from the stepside if they’re illuminated

 

Stuff gets spread to thin and the little things can start to go by wayside but managememt prolly already knows and expects that. Otherwise they'd have addressed it.
Most management is made of all forward thinkers and pro-active types, right?
I kid I kid, some are okay. But boy can you tell when any company or any department has a high quality management
Nobody can sign off for you besides you right?
My dentist brother in Texas wants me to start a business down there and he wants to back it it whatever.
Could you start a finance dept and that side of things for a little used car dealer? Like where to find the financing and that crap? I gotta do something with him. He's always offered financial backing for anything...

 

The step side didn't have the rear latch handle in the tailgate. I'm old and dumb, get me pics of what part you want. I just don't wanna remove and buy the wrong things man

 

Did any of them have the handle? If not it’s not a huge deal. The tailgate latch I’ll grab a pic when I’m home

 

FCA is a difficult product to push and sell due to it being naturally unpopular, and high pricing IE Jeep products specifically.

Add to that the fact that a good 40% of our business falls below prime, I have the added challenge of getting these deals funded from lenders asking for everything from the right structure, down payment, high interest, proof of income and residence, and every reference you can muster up.

I've got great relationships with a lot of these lenders which helps my, and the company's success.

It's just going to be a bit more difficult than it has been before...

 

I don't think they had the handle, okay so the pass side tailgate latch thing? Part of the tailgate or its part of the bed? Sorry I ask so much but i'mma go real soon because there will nothing left in a week. These showed up 5 days ago to yard

 

It’s inside the tailgate
If you want my number pm me and you can send pics to me. you will need torx bits fair warning

 

Okay cool I know the part you're saying now. Yeah I'll pm you my number and text it or vice versa whatev

 

So sun visors, if they are lighted?

 

Yea, I still don’t have any and new they’re expensive as hell

 

@Empty_Lord

Customer accidentally poured 5 gallons of DEF into their fuel tank that had 30 gallons of diesel already in it.



The plastic lines are no worries, but a ton of shit is being replaced. You can see how quickly the DEF crystallizes even when it hit the heated floor -

 

DEF is the biggest croc of shit shoved down diesel throats
