Auto News – U.K. Study Finds Women to be the Dominant Parking Sex

Though gender studies determining which sex is better at “going to the park”, “hitting a home run in a park” (also known as “parking it”), and “doing illicit things while parked in a car” have yet to be conducted, the U.K. has determined, without question, that women are definitely a little bit better at parking cars than men.

The most important person you can hire in your dealership right now isn’t another 30-unit Internet Sales Manager (though, they are nice to have) or a 175-call-per-day BDC Rep who’s as good on the 175th call as he was on the second call (…actually, you’d better get that one) or a rock-star Service Advisor from a nearby competitor who’d connected with 868 service customers on Facebook (Hmmm… I’d lure that one, too).

CarWoo! Endorses the Online Dealers’ Bill of Rights

It takes two to tango in the car business.

At CarWoo!, we care about a process that is fair to both the buyer and the seller.  We don’t believe that a car buying experience that is good for the buyer needs to occur at the expense of the dealer. For this reason, we endorse the first Online Dealer’s Bill of Rights.

 CarWoo! believes in dealers’ and buyers’ rights online.  This Bill of Rights targets the issues that have plagued dealers over the past decade and have become increasingly problematic as online buyers dominate the market for new cars.

Fortunately, I’m here to help with my selection of the best cars for Los Angeles.
