What's the funniest dealer name you've seen?
I bought my Tercel at "Deals on Wheels". Any others out there?

It has always been my secret desire to own a used-car lot, I was thinking maybe one called "*****box Motors" where I sell transportation beaters in the under $1000 range with a 30/30 warrantee, (30 feet or 30 seconds, whichever comes first), I think that people would find the combination of humor and truth in advertising refreshing. Plus it would get a lot of free advertising, (no such thing as bad press and all that).
Other idea was to have one that sells mint cars only, call it "Jerry's Cherries", which is a reference to a car lot in a great film. (Anyone know the answer to this trivia Q?).

Anyone else here seen the film "Suckers"? My answer is whatever that yard was called. If you haven't seen it, please do it's the funniest thing you'll see all year.

There was a local used car dealer here that went by the name "CARS FROM MARS". Prices were out of this world.

There was one here in NZ called Wayne Kerr Motors, when that nasty word came into fashion they changed it to Kerr Wayne Motors

Buy them, sell them

Well, I work as the Business Manager at a Subaru Dealership, which has a reasonably normal moniker. However, there is a used-car yard across the road called "Kenros" motors. We call it Whiplash motors, because Kenros backwards is SOR-NEK!
There was a car-yard in the more industrial areas of Melbourne called "Meltdown Motors" and there is even a place called "Panny World". ("Panny" being a Panel Van)

Paul, you got it buddy
Great car movie, great soundtrack/ use of music in film, incredible cast of (then) unknowns, an almost perfect film.
We are talking about "American Graffiti", of course, When it came out I was a 14 yearold car-nut w/o a car or license, I had a friend who worked at the movie theatre and I saw it at least 10 times + bought the soundtrack(a double LP) with my own paper route $. Since this is now OT, I will also say that it began my next big love-affair, which was(and continues to be) film. I wish that Mr. Lucas still made films like it. Take care, Paul, and everyone else.
