Car lots pay manufactures full price for every car on the lot, and then turn around an sell it back for about a 5k-10k profit. the issue is people have realized they don't need a new mustang the one from 65 still works. if you really wanted to sustain auto manufactures, they would do away with making the same dame car whats the difference between an 08 and 09, the 08 and 09 other than thats its the same car from 2002. there is no innovation in the American auto industry,then again why would there be other countries do all the innovating anyway.
if an American came with an ultra fuel effective design lets say 100 miles to a gallon do you know how quickly it would be shot down and put on the same floor with the water powered cars. now lets say if a chines manufacture came out with the same thing a year later do you know how fast they would be on the road.
Americans don't want American Made product there fine with the junk that comes from china, but low and behold when there no jobs because we're happy with the imported crap who's the first to bitch? if you guessed Americans you'd be right.
And i say it over and over again there is no recession, there is a mass job stifling do to the importers of cheap over seas labor. we stabbed are selves and can only blame are selves, its to the point where if we ever lost UN support there would be no America there would be this giant land mass with gleaming potential to be taking over by an enemy county. if it ever came to that we would have no way to defend are selves, because all of are supplies would have to come cross the big blue. and would more than likely hail from an enemy county.
remember we can always kiss ass, but id rather kick it than kiss it .

And if you guys are looking for orange label verbatim DL, I just bought some from Newegg (searched for cheapest orange) and the label's blue. Shocked me! Made in Singapore, not India. Will have to try them.
