It's not true, though some think it is. I used to dealer trade every single model available and never once was approached. Now when I was driving the Toyota Parts Truck, I did have a girl on the highway trying to get my phone number.

I wonder is bicycles count? I had a man ask me to get off my bike yesterday and walk with him...LOL

Thanks for the tip Lisa! It just so happens I'm in the market for a new car and have mistakenly been checking out Consumer Reports for advice. Now I know where to really do my research.

Yeah...But it would have been a lot better if they had someone there to enjoy it with them!

Hey Ross - I was a parts mgr for a Toyota dealer a long time ago. Spent time delivering parts too. I did get asked out once or twice while working the parts counter...sorry, no racy stories there.
I test drove a BMW last summer, but sorry to say no action in the 10 minutes I drove it

I'm sorry to say, I've been a BMW driver for years and I know I'm not meeting the average stats shown in the article.
It is true however, that BMW drivers are big fat liars who tell people they have lots of sex.

Hey Johnny do you still remember some of the part numbers for certain things like fenders, hoods, oil filters fuel filters, etc. I'm surprised at how many things I still remember. 53301-? for hoods, 53801 and 53802-? for left and right fenders, 15600 and 15601-? oil filters, 23300-? fuel filters. Bizarre huh?Johnny Stephens said:Hey Ross - I was a parts mgr for a Toyota dealer a long time ago. Spent time delivering parts too.

Yup - 00019 for accessories, 17801 for air filters, 90919 for plug wire sets... I still think I could pick all the parts for the early 5-speed trannys from memory LOL.
I really think it rewired my brain somehow---after a few years I didn't even need to look things up and I would be right 99% of the time.

They certainly made it easy enough, I'll give them that. Which dealer did you work for? I was Assistant Parts Manager at Central then changed to Cain Toyota BMW Inc. here in Canton, OH for a few years.

I was at Rodland Toyota in Everett, WA (North of Seattle). Small dealer back then, but they have grown tremendously. Started out washing cars at 16, worked my way up to Service Manager.

I have a Chevy Impala and guess there is no statistics on this model. Ads will say anything to sell more. BMW is way out of my budget so I guess I am not going to get too lucky.

Sorry, I don't see it as a thread jack, but I suppose we should return it to it's heading huh?

I drove every model BMW had and I can tell you that I don't see where they are any better then any other vehicle out there. It's simply a status thing and nothing more. I did love the look and feel of the 633csi I got to trade in Michigan though. It still wasn't worth the $53,000 price tag no matter how you looked at it.Birky said:

No guys, it wasn't really intended to be a thread. So no apology needed. I just found it humorous because I drive a BMW. Although I absolutely love driving the car, the power and weight of the heavy vehicle...I do have to agree with Ross. It's just a car. The only reason I even have it is because Buddy has been with a local dealership for 15 years and we got a very, very good deal. I had to get another car after a sixteen-year-old ran a light last year and totaled my car.

Oh yeah, I should mention that I drove a Jeep Cherokee for 8 1/2 years because cars are a depreciating asset. I finally purchased another vehicle, a Dodge Intrepid, when along comes the teenager and BAM! I'm back in the car payment business....which I hate!

Just incase all of you dont know deer meat is some of the leanest meat you can eat it is lower in fat than beef or pork maybe even chicken. I proccess it myself so I know there is no salt in it. We are over run with deer here in Alabama they est. over 2 million. I only felt bad about eating deer meat one time. I cooked it on Christmas day. Thats just seemed wrong.
