I do agree with that.  People who have been wise with there money over the years will be ok but people who have newer businesses or have been careless thinking the good times were here forever could be in trouble. I have fairly large overhead but have cash to get through this.  I know of others that are screwed if this goes until June

Do you think dealers are more inclined to deal now or is it the opposite that they want to make as much on what inventory they do have?

You were already getting killer prices.  I don't see how they would go any lower

I was only asking out of curiosity.  I'm fine with the prices I was quoted and I wouldn't kick someone when they were down for every penny possible no matter the business.   I was asking because I know a couple people in the automobile field and they are actually selling quite a few autos.  I was surprised.

Oh and let me wish all you dealers and anyone else on here that is in business the best of luck.  Hopefully we all get through this with our health first of all and our sources of income second.  I'm a small business owner also and luckily it's a handed down family business and we have the cash reserves to get through this and hopefully continue to be able to pay our employees.  Best of luck to you all.

Good luck to you as well during this crazy time!  I applaud for thinking of your employees during this. Wish more businesses were able to do what you are doing!
