Cars & Transportation - 15 March 2007

I worked with two guys who were car dealers a few years ago. Both were actually nice guys outside of the show room. They were the type that wouldn't hurt a fly. Very nearly literally.

Both admitted they would happilly scr&w over a customer to increase their commission.

We worked together at a bar. Neither would do anything unethical to get better tips but both would talk people into things they didn't need and into paying more than they could comfortably afford.

Now, when I buy a car, I bring someone with me who is actually working in or intimately familiar with the automotive industry.

I can understand trying to get the best commission one can but I can't understand doing so at a moral cost when a person is otherwise far more moral than that.

I have a 2004 BMW 325i. I've been using the same key for almost 3 years and all of a sudden, the remote is dead. Anyone knows how to get it working again? (I drive EVERYDAY) Is there any ways to change the 'rechargable' battery inside?

sometimes the car chimes and sometimes it doesn't. tried diconnecting the ground cable for a min. to reset computer but that didn't help. The battery is always charged so it's not major, just annoying.
