Wow...Some people are just like that I guess...My brother used to work at a Ford/Lincoln dealership, and he's the sloppiest guy on the planet...Shirt not tucked in, wrinkled, mismatched suits, etc..He had several "regular" customers, and he always called them by their first name, asked about the kids, that kind of stuff....they would come in and demand that he assist them, or they wouldnt buy the car...He made over $62,000 in commision in 2004...When he left, those customers left as well...The answer? They just "liked" him....

Maybe if he had added an extra 0, she would be able to afford an E70 X5?

Everyone makes fun of the "Herb Tarlick's" of the world, but you know what? They know their customers and the customers identify with them. Who do you think joe bluecollar wants to buy his next car from? Joe Suit? or another Joe Bluecollar? It's the same with high end models, Joe Stuffedshirt wants to buy his car from Joe Armanisalesguy....
