What's The Deal With Dealerships?

Especially whens ya don’t wants to deals with nobodies...

Bad Brooklyn accent aside, I went to my local Holler Honda dealer today, not because I needed a new car or was looking for parts, but because I was curious about the 1974 Honda Civic CVCC they have on the showroom floor and, specifically, if it were for sale.

Well, because I didn’t want to deals with nobodies, I didn’t actually ask. Being in dealerships is kind of my least favorite thing, especially now that I’ve been here and read some of your dealership stories. Also, I didn’t want anyone thinking I was going to buy a 70s Civic today... though I secretly wanted to even if I have no money.

It had the original paper that listed the features of the car and the price and all that good stuff. This car’s clearly been places. The paper is from a dealer in Cali, the car came from Portland before that (and ended up in Portland). And it was being delivered to Minnesota. I want and wish and pray that the $3,349 was the actual price tag, and the only reason it hasn’t been sold is because nobody is crazy enough to buy a classic Civic... but my common sense knows no dealership is that crazy, there had to be a catch or something.

Again, I didn’t ask, but I bet there’s someone on here who knows something about Classic Cars being displayed in dealerships that I don’t know about. This car isn’t listed on ANY of the dealerships websites. It’s barely mentioned on their official Twitter account...
