Hi Lizzie, Last month was still very good - but incentives ran out. Then GM watched natural sales rate which was low.So around the 8th they came back with 0.0 0down and 0 payments til 03 - so it has picked up again - but we had a slow hole for the first 10 days of the month. Safe to say the market is slowing and will have to compete with Derr hunting in November and Santa in December. Historically sales are the slowest in November December Jan adn February yea all in a row.erg My service and bodyshop were off last month and came back this month. Economy has many cross currents - American consumer will rise to the occasion -but needs a reason to buy. All in all business is very average and very typical of this cyclical time period seasinoaaly slow. Next really good time period for sales is after Christmas and before New Years. Hard to compete with hunting, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Bob
