The 2010 Ford Focus

2010 Ford Focus Value Packaged!John Heinzl from Thursday’s Globe and Mail wrote about the Focus and it’s “Features for the money!” Turns out the Focus is a great deal, and might even be more fun with the money saving standard transmission!!

“It’s practical, affordable, comfortable and well laid out. If those are your criteria, this is a compact you should definitely be looking at…”

“My only regret is that I didn’t get to test the five-speed manual. As much as I enjoyed zipping around in the four-speed automatic, driving the SES with a stick would have been even more fun.”

Rocco the GoldenDoodle at 9 weeks

My name is Rocco, I’m a GoldenDoodle and I’m an important part of our Pup-Lick Relations Department.

My favourite duties include: ensuring all guests are welcomed in a friendly manner with a bark and a tail wag, overseeing quality control of vehicles with an efficient and thorough sniffing, and doing some showroom clean up using a technique I call Nap-Sweeping. See ME pictured below.

Only 20 customers receive the survey, and only about 1/2 fill it out… the odds to win are good!!

1,000 and Counting

By the time you read this, Rob Willoughby will have sold his 1,000th vehicle at Steve Marshall Ford in Nanaimo.

That number alone is pretty remarkable but Rob has done it in only six and a half years. On average, a salesperson completes 7.5 transactions per month, or 90 per year. That means it would take the average salesperson more than 11 years to do what Rob has done in six and a half. (more…)
