I just bought a new Chevy pickup for my new salesman.

All with a $5000 rebate and a $500 Lowes gift card.

Two local dealerships that have been around for 25+ years just had corporate show up with car carriers and remove their inventory. Both had opened big, fancy new showrooms within the past 3-5 years which seems to be a common theme among those going out.
