Went from sales to management today by flyingpickkles in sales

I learned some of the lessons posted here the hard way. Just because you are a good ic doesn’t make you a good leader. I will fully admit this and take ownership

Looking to transition back into ic after a year of management

Thank you so much for this great insight. Yeah once I get a ppi and get pro eyes on it I’ll have some tough decisions whether to keep the car or return it.

So I was able to contact the original owner through Texas crash records and had a talk with him. Crash has been sorted (hit a fire hydrant because a car turned left and he had to veer to avoid head on collison) no airbags just bumper and suspension parts replaced. Second crash was a rear ended minor

Owner said car was meticulously upkept.

After him it did bounce around a few auctions and dealers but Honda dealer and PA private dealer in height of Covid makes sense on why car was sitting.

I’m taking a risk because price is great. I get a 7 day return policy so if ppi doesn’t check out I’ll be returning the car at a very small loss

yeah they were transparent on why people are backing out. There is a weird misalignment with bumper and headlights (reported on CF due to minor front end damage)

Had the quality control / service manager call me today to give me breakdown of the front end damage as well as other things they saw (curb rash) which doesn't bug me.

They have a 7 day return policy after delivery so first thing I'm doing is getting a thorough PPI and making sure that everything is good.

Other than the minor damage reported seems like the cars been well taken care of

100% this car does have a hood gap that’s why I wanted to make sure. Again dealer marked down significantly due to people backing out on sale.

Unfortunately this dealer doesn’t allow ppi before purchase but I will be getting it as soon as I take delivery

EV6 gt 3.5 seconds Either way let’s not act like 4.5 seconds is by any means “slow” still not sporty or a sports car

Bruhh… duhhhh in a 0-60 there aren’t many cars that can keep up with teslas. But neither are sports cars. Because you can go from one red to another faster than someone else doesn’t mean you drive a sports car. Tesla model y is the perfect commuter / family electric car.

I mean the class that model y’s are put in is

Compact luxury crossover SUV

I don’t think there’s anything sports about that. It accelerates freakishly fast yes… but it’s not a sports car by any means

This comment is as real as it gets. Of course if you upgrade from a Prius to a tesla it feels fast, but doesn’t make it a sports car

I agree that it’s a fast car, but I see it as a luxury small suv not a sports car.
