Thank goodness for you guys...Servco is at least a reputable company.

Might I add that Servco is one of the island's strongest supporters of the community...that should say a lot because most of the other dealerships don't do jack crap for the community.

bpang1 on his wifey's account...whoops.

^^****, honestly, i don't see a problem giving a competent salesman a little bonus. If i were to buy a car, i'd definitely throw you some green first though. The last car i bought honestly all the salesman at airport and the F&I guy were kinda tools. Even the guys at waialae were not the sharpest. They kept telling me the buttons on the steering wheel was for the volume control. The only guy i enjoyed speaking with was the GM at waialae Mr. Bennett. The rest knew Bo-Diddley about subarus......

i know exactly what your talking about. but the subaru sales are at it's lowest in a long time. the only way to regain sales now is by price and marketing. IMHO selling these cars at msrp will start to bring the customers back to even comparing a subaru into the catagory of cars they were thinking about. and knowing you got a great car along with a guy who is not looking to break you wallet will also lead to referrals. and referrals are key to making money in this type of business.

Yes we are.

"Servco Subaru Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Servco Pacific Inc., has reached an agreement to acquire the Subaru distributorship in Hawaii from Schuman Inc."

The attached news article states that servco is aquiring an Oahu dealership and will work with neighbor islands networks in Hilo, Kona and Maui. No mention of purchasing the Subaru Hawaii distributorship. Can someone shed more light on this?

I guess the Servco thing explains Waialae Subaru looking like a ghost town.
