A Subaru salesman. That is the question.

Waiting on a final interview with the GM. I had really hoped it would have been on Tuesday. I understand the GM has 100 better things to do but this long slow wait is not fun at all.

*trivia* David Tennant used a real human skull in his Hamlet performance at the dying request of an orchestra musician.

Do it. Just so you can crush a youth with his eyes set on a $25K lightweight sports car.

"Yeah, sorry. No. There's a $7K markup. Next time, junior."

I saw it happen when I was getting my car serviced.

Tennant was my favorite Doctor, but I'm somewhat curious as to why prince of Denmark would be so unkempt.

Also, are you being hired through GM corporate or through a dealership?

I peeked at the sticker. My area is a $5k markup.

Dealership. This is Step 6 in the hiring process.

Well at my dealership there was next to no markup as we "don't work off commission" and offered the "lowest prices in NY state" and the "price on the window is what you got"...until it comes to actually protecting your car.

Anyway, in this world we live in now, being a Subaru salesman may be the most profitable- at least it was amongst our very large network which had Audi/VW/Volvo(where I work) Chrysler/Fiat, Toyota, scion, Kia Hyundai, Ford & Nissan ( Honda??... roflol)

But driving in our area where it can snow heavy and you encounter a 15 degree slope at least once in your commute...usually 2 or 3 times and its full of hippies and college hipsters SO Subaru replaced the longstanding Volvo 240 as Ithaca's primary safe car for people who hate driving. This IS the Volvo 240 capitol of the planet and up there near Vermont/Maine for Outbacks and Foresters but our population goes from 35k people in the summer to over 100k once students are back.

I may have had more fun at Audi...lots, lots more, I mean you wouldn't fuck'n believe.. but everyone was envious of the Subaru sales consultants because they made money any season of the year, hand over fist and didn't really have the burden of comparison, or informed buyers for that matter.

EDIT: At least here that just what we notice with many aging hipsters relishing a more "intelligent" purchase with a Prius or an Impreza wagon although a study showed Subaru (and Volvo) owners do the most research pre purchase.

ATTN: David Tennant. Yelling is not acting.

Also, you could probably make a better living as a Subaru headgasket sales person than a Subaru car salesperson. I really, really, really hope that the new FA/FB engines aren't so prone to headgasket failure, because despite how terrible my current Subaru has treated me, I kinda want another one to replace it.
