Hey Tom glad you could chime in. I'm not sure what is the exact point of your post. We are to understand that you have worked at a couple of local BMW dealerships.
I have owned enough BMWs to make a few of your paychecks and from your attitude I'm kind of disappointed about having put food on your table.
I have no issue paying for the upkeep on my car. In fact, I'm an over achiever when it comes to the proper care and feeding of my cars.
I do take issue for the dealers that are extorting from us excessive markups beyond MSRP. I find it to bad business and unethical. If you approve of these unethical business practices that's your choice and it speaks loudly about your character.
