Honda dealers say the funniest things

A couple years ago, I was going back and forth about the Honda Optional Equipment advertisements that were on the back of the magazines.
He was totally clueless what I was talking about. Wish I had a mag on hand to show that it was a genuine Honda ad. Oh well.

On a positive note.....
I test drove an MY05 S a week ago and one of the first things the salesman did was show me the secret compartment and the gas door button. I already knew where they were of course, but I was impressed non the less.

Say a mid-size H dealer will sell 1,000 new cars a year just for math purposes. At an avg $22,000 per new car (Civics up to loaded Ridgelines) that is $22M in car sales alone (this excludes service contracts, maint, service work, accessories....).
When running a $22M business, isn't it Business 101 to hire and retain decent salespeople? I've walked into a dozen H dealers and they are all the same. Don't get me started on non H dealers...
I run my own P&L unit within a large corporation and I occasionally wonder what makes auto sales so different from other high value sales.
If I could buy my next S2000 online I would.

Just bought a '02 S2. I'm reading about the "Secret Compartment" and I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. Anyone want to be a kind soul and let me in on the secret?

Keep them coming this is great stuff, btw I am a dealer 
, there are bad business owners and good business owners, unfortunatly most people are more concerned with saving $100.00 than getting good service when buying a car, which allows the silly car sales people to sound so stupid and still sell cars.
Shipping on a car depends on distance. you can get a car sent cross country for about $1000.00
