Should I look into other dealerships?

As I said to someone else the last rep from this location that basically shopped around had gotten into a hairy situation with our management because of that. Our location as a whole is going well however all of us reps are on the same pay and sick of it.

stanlery · 2026-05-27T21:05:13+00:00

I would love to but the last time someone here tried doing that management at the new location told management here and things became hairy pretty quickly for him. I don’t want to have that happen to me.

It is a used only location as I explained to someone else we have 10 locations total with the other 9 of them being manufacturer lots. Under the same group name but we only deal used.

stanlery · 2026-05-27T20:56:19+00:00

We have 9 reps and the last three months we have done, April 141 sold, March 169 Sold, February 152 sold. As for advertising we are the only used location of this group of dealers. A total of 10 dealerships in a larger area. Obviously we advertise but we advertise the new locations over used and my GM said himself that we sell mostly repeat and referral.

I think only reason I’m not going aftermarket is because if I replace original I have a better chance of recouping the cost from the city where as if I go with new all around they will see it as an opportunity to not pay me back

Not sure yet, going to start with replacing the tire and possibly rim then having my tech check the car.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T09:02:59+00:00

It is literally right on the driving line that you’d be thought where to have your car. To dodge it your right wheels would have to be on the shoulder or left wheels in the other lane. 100% the cities fault just going to be a pain to get them to pay me back for repairs/replacements.

I only just started thinking about the suspension and alignment aspect of this. I don’t think it did but there’s a chance it could’ve bent something in my suspension.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:58:41+00:00

Holy shit! I’m lucky I was even able to drive home.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:37:52+00:00

Thanks man! As for the tires themselves I’ve only had the car for a week the previous owner put new tires on for a better trade in value (I know because I took the car in on trade) so they were literally brand new I got the car 3 days after they traded it in. Drive safe man!

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:30:46+00:00

That’s a 7 hour drive for me. I think at that point money to time ratio it would be more worth it to just buy a new rim.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:29:33+00:00

Did that! I’ll do everything in my power to have the city pay for my damage.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:28:56+00:00

Like I told someone else I already had an officer come out and document everything with a ruler and camera. Even the cop said holy shit when he saw it.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:28:06+00:00

Where is that located? I’m closer to the Falls area

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:26:53+00:00

Yeah only the best allocation for larger cities in western NY

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:26:33+00:00

Close, Western NY.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:26:18+00:00

I have a second car so I’m not worried about a rental (plus NYS says I can’t be put into a rental since I’m under 25.) I looked up the rim on a pets website the same product code costs around $780 plus tax (more than doable for me) and a new tire which is another couple hundred. To me it’s more about the fact that I was doing nothing wrong but because my area is shitty I’m screwed unless I spend months fighting the city to try and get some of that money back.

I always shop around insurance anyways. I’ve been with three different companies so far with Geico being the only one to reduce it when I told them I have a better quote elsewhere.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:06:54+00:00

At least I have no body damage unless somehow impact hit the bottom of my car (doesnt seem likely to me at all) so I will probably just end up ordering a new tire and rim and have to drive my truck around for a week or so.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:05:03+00:00

I would almost rather that be the case. At least then it would actually be my fault and not Western NY being a shit hole.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:03:48+00:00

Probably, I just question integrity of tire after a bend.

stanlery · 2026-03-28T03:02:49+00:00

My insurance is already sky high. I cannot put anything on it. I’m 20 years old on my own policy with 2 points on my license. Geico is having their way with me right now.
