Dodge, but didn't try to drive anything - the two sales people we delt with
were real jerks. He was looking for a used car and one thing we were
surprised about was that most of the new car dealers had *very* few used
cars on their lots (usually <10) Most of the new car dealers around here
have quite a large number of used cars.

Hey, that's cool! My dad is a Centre graduate. I considered going there,
but I was more interested in a big school, so I chose UK. I'm a sophomore
also. You're right about the lack of used cars. Most new car dealers
around here try to avoid the used car business. To find any decent used
cars you usually have to go to these uncredable-looking, Joe-Shmoe,
run-out-of-an-old-gas-station used car lots. And since the dealers don't
like to deal with used cars, they usually don't offer you much for trade.
You're also right about the guys at Freedom Dodge. I can't stand them!
Any time I go in there I feel like they're laughing as if I couldn't afford
to buy one of their vehicles or don't deserve to be talking to them. Oh
well, they'll just keep losing business I guess. By the way, did you check
out the Red '98 Viper GTS in the showroom? Boy is it sweet. This is their
3rd Viper in the last year. They had a Hunter Green RT/10 when I first
came to school in the Fall of '96. They sold it to a local lottery winner
and then acquired a Blue GTS. I drooled over it for several months and
then they finally got rid of it. Anyway, sorry you guys didn't have any
luck with the cars.
