That is why they have the $$$$$ to purchase more dealerships.You'd seriously be suprized how many high-end car dealerships are not profitable. It seems like there are quite a few trust fund adults who like the glamour of owning a Porsche/BMW/Merc dealership... - betegh9 - 02-22-2012 When the owner takes the biggest salary is when the dealer goes into the red. They show negative income and pay no business taxes. Then they take the $$$$$$ to the Cayman Islands and bring it back laundered. ![]() - Brian Minkin - 02-22-2012 Nick, I think your characterization of Auto Dealer Principals is way off base. The cost to own a dealership is huge as is the risk. Some are very successful and see a good return on their investment and some are not. The turnover of ownership of many of the Porsche Dealers in the Tri State Area sends a message of just how tough it is for a high end dealership in today's market. I know a number of dealer principals and they work every day to make their dealerships successful. - arena - 02-24-2012 Brian Minkin wrote: Quote:Nick,Yep. I still remember the shock of actually finding out just how little money dealerships make. - csmith74 - 02-27-2012 So... all the conspiracy theories are done? I'm still planning on Philly's SCCA event at Citizen's Bank Park on March 25. Anyone else interested? BTW - Sorry Nick, but I didn't think the Autocross listing on the forum should have "is AX dead?" as it's lead thread.... ![]() - Vytenis - 02-27-2012 Toss up between Citizen's Bank Park & Hershey. "V" - csmith74 - 02-27-2012 I didn't know there was a Hershey event the same weekend... Decisions, decisions.. I'll be unavailable on the 18th so I'm going to miss Warminster (Adam is getting Confirmed). I've saved the 25th, and the course doesn't really matter to me, so I'm up for either one. V, Will John be racing? Colin still needs more road experience to pass his test, so he won't be AX-ing for another month or so. - CarreraSupercharged - 02-27-2012 I will not join in March the car will not be ready. Hopefully the car will have its shoes on by April. But I need to put the engine back in the car before then.... - pearlcoupeg35 - 02-27-2012 I am interested in joining in some AutoX events this year.....keep us posted Arena - csmith74 - 02-27-2012 pearlcoupeg35 wrote: Quote:I am interested in joining in some AutoX events this year.....keep us posted ArenaGreat! The Cayman is a natural for autocross. The weight distribution is near perfect. Just don't sell the car before the season starts ![]() |
