Must say, Thank you Tom and CED for all the great prices and Meets at Lattof. Sorry to hear the dealer closed up, but very glad to hear you found a new one to move CED to. (Sorry to hear it was Rockenbach though, never had good luck with them) Looking forward to meeting at the new place. It's a easier stop then the old one for us.

I read some of the decisions they make and I wonder which brainiac is pulling the strings and why no one is stopping them and slapping them silly.
Some of the choices really make you wonder. Not bringing over one of the sedans from Europe or something from Australia to compete with the other makers.

So, what did you hear..??

Ahh I love how these big places manage their money.

It affects all the way down to people like CED who have to close their doors. CED was a actual parts department for a dealership correct? I think I remember reading that when I was looking at some cams.

Tom is working hard at getting the CED site up and running -- phone numbers, web-addresses, banking -- takes some time. Hold on to your money and he'll make sure you get your parts!!!!!

the site is up, We will process what orders we can. There might still be some delay as I don't have the inventory set up at Rockenbach yet.

Thanks for your support.

I hope you can do that. I bought my car from them. Very Nice salesman. The finance guys are real jerks and don't comunicate give false information and flat out don't keep on top of things. The sales manager does nothing for you. I have had good experiences with sales from you and it is very close to me so I will give it a second chance. Good to hear you are making it through.
