I was talking to two car dealers this week and wanted to buy a car from one I had previously done business. I was sending both of them emails to get the best price, yet this dealer never responded. A different dealer was constantly following up, giving me information I requested, asking me to visit for a test drive. I appreciated their efforts. So much so I visited last night and they sold me a car.
“The window of opportunity
maybe wide,
It maybe narrow.
The Master Seller makes no assumptions
And follows up quick.”
This was from the post Follow Up.

Although not the point of the post, but what did you buy?
Mazda 3 i Grand Touring…. it’s a completely new and advanced generation of Mazda 3. The dash is elegant, yet a laboratory of electronic gear. Extremely quick, nimble handling, superior gas mileage. I’m quite pleased.
My youngest son will be driving my other 2009 Mazda 3. It’s been a phenomenal car with over 110K miles. It has a lot of get up and go.
I looked hard at the Miata, oh my such lust. But I just can’t see fitting clubs in the trunk. The driver would have to me my passenger.
