Parkway Chevrolet in Tomball Posted 30.06
HUGE signs on the sides of both main entrances.
I put "Tomball Parkway" as the street address on the 30.06 website, but it was rejected as incomplete. Hey, I tried.

Re: Parkway Chevrolet in Tomball Posted 30.06
Pretty poor business decision, considering the auto market in general is in the tank. I guess I won't consider a Chevy from Parkway when I buy my next truck. Thanks for the heads-up Purplehood.
BTW, their address is:
25500 South Highway 249
Houston, TX 77375

That is really idiotic of car dealers. It is SO EASY to just go to another dealer to buy the car, or any number of other mechanics/body shops for those services. If a sandwich shop posts 30.06, what kind of sales does the shop lose, a few sandwiches a week? But a car dealer could potentially be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales (less in profits, of course) if all the CHLs in the area boycott that dealership.
We drive thru Tomball on our way to Northwest Houston a few times a year, I may stop there next time and pretend to be interested in buying an expensive suburban or truck or something and then so say "Oh, well I guess you don't appreciate MY KIND around here" and ask where the nearest CHL-friendly Chevy dealer is located.

Can you believe they are marking up Camaro's $2,500.00?

Car dealers can't be too careful. There's one robbed every generation or so. 
Speaking of car dealer robberies, I'm gonna' have the 30,000 mile service on our '07 2500 Dodge Cummins 4x4 to the tune of $360.

Re: Parkway Chevrolet in Tomball Posted 30.06
Yeah. I believe it. Miata's, Prius', Mustang, Cooper, etc., etc., etc.... all had a buyer's premium added when they were new and in demand. It is a buyers choice whether they pay it. And it is capitalism at its finest.Purplehood wrote:Can you believe they are marking up Camaro's $2,500.00?
Wait a little while (like for the second model year) and the premium goes away (as happened with my Miata

Sorry, I got a little off track. But I've seen the same thing happen with a hot gun model.
Oh yeah, as we were saying, next time I drive by Parkway, I will stop in and give them a head fake.

Re: Parkway Chevrolet in Tomball Posted 30.06
That doesn't surprise me one bit, living in Tomball/Magnolia for the last 13 years. I've been there three times and have never left happy, nor purchased a vehicle from them and never will. My parents purchased a car from them about five years ago, and it too was unpleasant. I don't want to get nailed for slander, but I'll leave it at saying that they have quite a few enemies in these here parts. Now, I will REALLY not go there.....and I WAS actually going to go there soon to get a part for my wife's Buick. I guess I'll drive 45 minutes to the next dealer instead.

If for no other reason with all the problems GM has you would think they would not do that (post 30.06). Now, I heard on the news this morning that GM might need another bailout.
