$100,000 DEALER FEE CHALLENGE

Debate the Resolution to Make Dealer Fees Illegal


WHAT? DEBATE RESOLVING THAT DEALER FEES SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL
WHEN? ANY SATURDAY MORNING 8AM TO 10 AM
WHERE? TRUE OLDIES RADIO STATION, 8895 N MILITARY TRAIL, PBG, FL


The first car dealer to accept my challenge will debate me for about one hour on my regularly scheduled Saturday morning 8-10 AM radio show (WSVU, TrueOldies 95.9 FM & 106.9 FM; Stream www.EarlOnCars.com) The audience will judge the debate, hearing both sides of the dealer fee issue and vote for the winner. The loser pays the winner $100,000. If I win, I pledge to contribute the $100,000 to Big Dog Ranch Rescue (www.BDRR.org).

DEBATE RULES: 

1. Earl Stewart and the Car Dealer will jointly agree upon, and choose a neutral, unbiased moderator; if no agreement can be reached, a flip of the coin will allow the winner to pick the moderator.
2. The Car Dealer must be a legally appointed dealer, named in the franchise agreement between him or her and the manufacturer of the vehicles he or she sells. 

3. Earl Stewart will open the debate, explaining to the audience why the dealer fee should be made illegal. The length of time will be 5-10 minutes.

4. The car dealer challenging this proposition will take 5-10 minutes explaining why dealer fees should remain legal. 

5. Earl Stewart rebuts the car dealer challenger for 5-10 minutes.
6. The Car Dealer rebuts Earl Stewart for 5-10 minutes.
7. Earl Stewart has a second 5-10-minute rebuttal.

8. Car Dealer has a second 5-10-minute rebuttal. 

9. There can be no interruptions of either speaker.
10. The listening audience will cast their votes for the winner by texting their votes or posting their votes to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Periscope. All votes must be accompanied by a name and phone number for verification. Any employee of a car dealership, car dealer association and family members of either are ineligible to vote. 

I invite all challengers to contact me directly on my cell phone, 561 358-1474 or email me at Earl@EarlOnCars.com. If I receive more than one challenge, the participating challenger will be “drawn from a hat”. The $100,000 prize will be deposited in the escrow account of an attorney mutually agreed upon by both parties at least one week before the debate. If they cannot agree on an attorney, he or she will be decided by the toss of a coin. 

For those unfamiliar with my position on dealer fees and/or unclear on exactly what the dealer fee is, I refer you to my numerous blogs and newspaper articles on this subject, http://oncars.blogspot.com/search?q=dealer+fee
