Sounds just like what happened to Smail Auto in PA... I sold mazda's and about 3 months before i got hired, a lot boy who alligns cars, washes and does the PDI work on them ( recieving them from the trucks, putting away files, keys) basically he hid all of the evidence of a black RX8 all together. Well the kid came back one night late took the car home, and no one even knew for about 1 or 2 months, when another friend/coworker of his asked about the reward for the missing RX8, that they didnt even know was missing after some denying anything was missing, looked over some paper work and BAM! they went ot the kids house and it was parked in the garage with a DEALER PLATE ON IT STILL all beat up, it was almost considered totaled....

The amazing part of this was, that smail auto was going to press charges until the kid was in the process of getting arrested and punched a cop in attempt to not get cuffed. they dropped the charges and let him go to jail for assulting an officer..

why would they care anyways, they dont techinally own cars, the banks do... they just try to sell them, in a timely fashion to prevent interest build up from the banks.

^^ the banks own them ?? Are you nuts ? you must have not been in the car business long . Every Car on a lot is PAID for by the dealership . The manufacturers dont front cars to any dealrship . Thats why its so expensive to start a dealership . And yea the guys that do the "PDI" pre delivery inspection are the first to touch the cars when they come off the trucks . Im sure the auto theft detectives are well aware of that

Well thats not the case as far as i was told. The bank they finance the cars through (inital purchase) lends them the sale temporarly until a consumer buys the car. That is why dealers are so easy to PUSH a car they have owned for 3 months over one that just hit the lot, because every day the car sits there, they actually lose money.

And btw i wasnt there real long ( about a year or so) until i decided school was the better route. besides making mad cash when i was 18.... wasnt that fun

The cars are not owned by the car dealership...they are floor planned through a bank that the manufactor of the car works with. Usually the car dealer has about 3-6 months to sell the car before the bank charges them interest. Once the car is sold the dealer pays off the bank and the rest is profit. About once a month a person called a floor checker comes by the dealership to see if all the cars are still there....the floor checker works for the bank. Oh and dont tell me i am wrong because i know this for a fact

Ohh and the dealership could pay for the cars themself if ther credit with the bank and manufacture of the car sucks. But if possible except for this that one situation the car dealership is at least going to take advantage of the free financing for 3-6 months or how ever long and them payoff the car. But a sign of a dealer actually paying for the cars themself is actually a sign of the dealer going out of business. Usually there inventory will get real low when they have to do this and there will be alot of used cars on the lot.

Very interesting. I've know the buyer has additional leverage when purchasing a car that's been sitting on the lot for 3+ months, but I didn't know why.
