Fourth: Any car dealer worth their salt started reducing inventory MONTHS ago. The fact that this guy has 125 on his lot strikes me as contrary to sound business judgement in the current environment...unless he is a high volume/high customer satisfaction dealer...and if he was...he wouldn't have gotten the ax.

My heart's not bleeding (and I'm generally a compassionate person...)
Yep, +1, I am with Mr. Silver here.
And by the way, I currently do drive a Chrysler, which I am very happy with regardless that it gulps down a gallon for like 17 miles!
