New Job

Well, I finally got myself a new job. I think working in the solid waste industry for 9 years was long enough. Now, I will be back into the automotive industry. Now, some of you might like and/or hate my change. I will not be selling cars for the largest Honda dealship in Katy, Honda Cars of Katy. It will have more than 500 vehicles on its lots.

I've been wanting to get back into the auto industry since my grandmother sold their Ford dealership back in '89. My father still manages a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealership down in the valley. I wish to stay in the Houston OR San Antonio area.

Yes. I still have my '05 G35 Sedan for another two years or so. I can't pass up its engine power.

Stephen

Nope. No more TRASH!!!! That has freaked out many people in the company across the US and said I could not go. I advised them, too bad.

BTW - Here is a slim picture of the dealership.



Also, here is our 1st used sports car on the lot.



It's just an '06 S2000.

We will be doing a private opening this evening, possibly, and for sure on Saturday. The cool thing about this location, there will be a cafe inside!

Ouch

Well, today was the 1st day that Honda Cars of Katy opened for car sales. You are not going to like the sale I did today. I had a client who traded in his '04 G35 Coupe for an '08 Honda Accord. Also, I better tell my buds at WHI the coupe was sold by their dealership. Ouch

Cato,

That is why the guy traded in his G Coupe. Also, his son is about to turn 16, so, he has to cut back on cost. Getting the Honda, that will save him money big time on insurance.

What r u getting per city? 15mpg and 23mpg hwy?
