If I have two Toyota Land Cruisers, one has the original tyres, and the other have larger scale circumference tyres, would the two cars be moving in paralel at the same speedometer reading?

I am a very good salesman. I am about to look for a job at a new car lot. I have never been a car salesman, but have alot of experience buying cars. I’m not looking for opinions on car salesmen, only facts about which is the best dealerships to work for. Ex. Volume dealers etc? Toyota or Chevrolet? Also what should I expect out of my commission salary??

I’m turning 18 in a few months, and when I pass my driving test my parents are allowing me to choose what car I buy, though the budget is 8-9K. I’ve been looking at some luxury cars, but is that too far a stretch for a budget like that? I was looking into the Lexus IS series, but I heard they’re just Toyota Camry ripoffs or whatever. So is there a good car (luxury, if possible) that fits in my budget and looks pretty decent? I’m a car newbie here, so any tips/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have two cars and I owe 8,000 on a 2002 fully-loaded mazda protege and then I owe 17000 + have a 2005 fully load toyota celica. I really would like to simplify things and get a cheaper car payment. Its kinda of hard for me now to keep up with the maintance. I would like some opitions other then sell the mazda personally and trade in the celica. I was thinking about buying a used car and then trading both of them at the same time. Please give me some input.

I’ve always wondered about the cars the last year of their generation that are sitting on dealer lots… what happens to them when brand new editions come out?

Ex: Think of the 2007 Toyota Highlander… its in the last year of its generation. When the 2008 redesigned Highlander comes out, what happens to ’07s that are sitting in dealer lots?

Heather Bree asked:


This is a hommework question for my management class on strategic planning. The question states:
In your opinion, what are the core competencies in the auto industry such as GM, Chrysler, and Ford? How do these competencies help them compete with foreign makers such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan and BMW?

I looked around at all their websites, and the general impression I get is that American cars seem to emphasize performance and innovative body designs. The foreign makers seem to more simplistic in body design and emphasize vehicle longevity. Do you think I’m on the right
track, or do you have another suggestion?
I think I need to clarify that I’m not looking for suggestions on what car to buy. This is a homework question for a MANAGEMENT CLASS. Please consider the question from a management and corporate perspective. What are their marketing strategies?
