Ling,
Let's compare a UK Ford dealer vs a US Ford Dealer.
US Dealer: Quirk Ford, Boston MA
950 New Fords in stock
New Ford Car Truck SUV for sale in MA | Quirk Ford Boston Area Ford Dealer
UK Dealer: Think Ford*, Farnborough UK
ZERO New Fords in stock?
New Cars - Search Listing
Huh? I just spent an hour in the UK trying shop like an American car shopper. WHERE ARE THE CARS FOR SALE?? Official Ford.co.uk website - Find your nearest Ford Dealer - Ford UK
Ling, in the USA, a small car dealer has 100 new cars in stock for sale. This leads me to my very own Ling FAQ:
Question #1: Do dealers sell from their stock, or, do they order them?
Question #2: How many cars does a typical dealer have in stock, ready for sale?
Question #3: Do shoppers want to see the car they're going to buy before they buy that car?
Question #4: How do shoppers in the UK dispose of their old car?
Question #5: Can you describe the brokerage network that allows you to sell any car (this concept is foreign to us)
thnx
