New job...FINALLY - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

CleanNeon98 · 01-11-2008, 05:48 PM

Finally started working again, this time at a used car dealership

yesterday and today got up at 4am and went with the guys to the Manheim car auction over near lancaster (they said its the biggest in the country) and basically took cars they bought from there to the dealership and back and forth to shops and such, and yesterday they had their "high line" cars, definately saw a lot of cool stuff there, and VERY cheap

a gallardo Nero (black on black on flat black) went for 163k

among other things

Got to drive some cool stuff already

07 cooper s (auto)
04 s-type
03 s-type 5-speed
04 x-type 5-speed

will be something new tomorrow doin 2 airport runs

happy to say its the first job I have actually enjoyed, and my "boss" is a very cool dude and they have some awesome cars on the lot. Im glad to say its nice to see that not all dealers are crooks though. when we were prepping a list of cars to look at, we ran autocheck reports and the cars that had accidents were off the list and cars they knew were problematic were also off the list..looks like they dont try to just jump on the best profit and its nice to work with honest people

they have over 100 cars right now, I will be taking pictures of a few on monday and tuesday, so yea, im finally employed, with a fun job to boot

in an effort NOT to get accused of advertising, I wont post info but if anyone here is looking for cars to buy feel free to PM me they might have it...no cheap stuff, most cars start at 10k and are higher line, no shells, and usually nothing pre 2001

pictures from yesterday's "highline" sale can be seen here, I snapped a few on my phone while running around doing errands so some are off

K-Rex · 01-11-2008, 07:23 PM

I used to go there when I worked at Reedmans to buy used cars with Herb Sr.

He would buy a car, and then we would be responsible for finding it in the gigantic parking lot then getting it on the car carrier. While we were looking for it we used to hop into the funnest thing would could find to drive around and look for the car.

Had a lot of good times there in those parking lots.
