Why didn't you ...Dear disgruntled ex-employee,<br /><br />Why didn't you just say that you used to work for me instead of obfuscating about "working in the industry"? Did you think that fact would diminish your credibility? <br /><br />I can understand that you're angry if I fired you. I hope that things worked out for you with your next job(s). <br /><br />I didn't know what the term "loading" the front end is either. Are you referring to a "pack". A pack is what dealers add to the cost of a car to adjust the sales people's commission to an acceptable percentage and to establish an acceptable profit when they sell the car. If that's what you're referring to, why did you bring it up. This is commonplace in with car dealerships and always has been. <br /><br />I still don't know why you won't identify yourself. You gave the reason that you used to work for me. Why would that make you afraid to reveal your identity?<br />Earl Stewarthttp://www.earlstewarttoyota.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-7954802104746056692012-10-25T18:11:55.916-04:002012-10-25T18:11:55.916-04:001.

I know because I used to work for you. Also the reason why I am not going to identify myself.<br />3. I am in Las Vegas on business. That's why I am showing up in your stat counter from another area.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-31401496927360521652012-10-25T14:14:39.408-04:002012-10-25T14:14:39.408-04:00Dear anonymous,
You did say that you worked in th...Dear anonymous,<br /><br />You did say that you worked in the "this industry", but that's a broad term encompassing manufacturers, parts suppliers, distributors as well as dealerships. <br /><br />You accused me of "loafing the front end" of my deals". I've been a car dealer for 44 years and I've never seen that term before and have no idea what you're accusing me of. <br /><br />You also say that you “know this for a fact” but you also said you're not located in my market and know about me only from my blog. Whatever it is you claim you know about "loafing" how do you know anything about me for a fact from reading my blog?<br /><br />Why do you refuse to identify yourself? My cell phone number is 561 358-1474 and you know my name is Earl Stewart. I'm not afraid of you knowing my name and number. What frightens you so much about identifying yourself and giving me a call?<br />Earl Stewarthttp://www.earlstewarttoyota.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-50187766115518017842012-10-25T12:25:59.495-04:002012-10-25T12:25:59.495-04:00I am 100% sure I said work in the business.

Nice try &...Dear "Anonymous Car Dealer",<br /><br />Nice try "Anonymous", but you can't trick me like you can your customers. You aren't a car BUYER; you’re a car DEALER or work at a car dealership. If I'm wrong, identify yourself and I'll publically apologize to you. <br /><br />If you don't respond and continue to hide your identity, you're confessing to me and my blog readers that you are the exactly type of unethical car dealer that I was writing about. <br /><br />You dislike me because smart and informed customers are buying their cars from me and not you and your ilk. You are left to depend on selling cars to the very young and old, the uneducated, English language impaired, and other victims that are easily fooled by your unfair and deceptive advertising and sales tactics.<br /> Earl Stewarthttp://www.earlstewarttoyota.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29777096.post-29512900427038197682012-10-24T00:03:03.292-04:002012-10-24T00:03:03.292-04:00Wow! What a negative smear on your competitors. I ...Wow! What a negative smear on your competitors. I would never buy a car from someone who does business by attacking other local businesses. <br /><br />Shame on you, Earl. And I think we'd all like to know where you're getting this information. This feels like a political campaign. And no one likes a political campaign.<br /><br />I've worked in this industry for years. I am not in your market, but I was cruising around to see how other dealers are running blogs. I would never run a blog that attacks a business that employs other local people. Jobs are hard to come by these days, and this is a bad way to gain business for your people.<br /><br />Customers can see right through this kind of crap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
