Yea, Pace is closed.

If Manhattan isn't open, don't expect anyone else to be.

wow, really? Even the suburban dealerships here are open on Sundays. I don't understand businesses that deal with the general public and are not open for 50% of the commonly available shopping hours

Dealerships - open - Sundays? Not here... Boys club conspiracy...

Yeah, no car dealership in Ontario is open Sunday. Heck, many even close at 6 on Fridays!

Wow. People out there don't like to work, huh! Even our banks open from 8am-8pm Mon to Sun. (well, shorter hours on Sundays)

Atlanta is the same way- closed Sundays. I always thought it should be a weekday as weekends should be the best with folks off of work.

mike519 · 03-11-2013, 12:22 PM

I respect businesses that are closed Sunday's. Families need at least a day together each week. 30 years ago nothing was open Sundays.

Thanks.. i'll be contacting them today... really want to get back into a Z4M coupe... they have one i'm intrested in. Have you seen it? Know anyone there I can trust to talk to? I'm in CA so I would be buying it without test driving or looking at it....

Ask for Gunn Park, standup guy. No BS... I told him I did my research, not interested in a bidding war with other dealers, and this was my one and final price. If he/manager could get it through I'd sign the papers today. He totally respected that and got the deal through. Also went out of his way to work with my credit union b/c the paperwork got a little messy.

Thanks... I will call them right now. THey have a Blk Saph M Coupe there right now... what do you think? I would be buying it purely from their word... trustworthy?

Man don't get me started on businesses that are closed on weekends or close ridiculously early. My favorite pho place closes at 8:30 during the week, while also being closed 2:30-5:00. I will never understand why a business would limit itself like that, unless they never get customers, which is not the case most of the time.

No not purely based on their word. The salesman end of day is looking to push cars out the door. Plus he probably has no idea about the history of the car. I thought Gunn was the best salesman I had dealt with but salesmen in general are hard to trust. Definitely do your due diligence...

Thanks... I called and GUNN is no longer... spoke to a Leo. We're talking... BTW, how would I know if there is corrosion damage? Not sort of thing I worry about in CA... something I honestly need to worry about if the car is from NY?

Businesses closed during the hours when most people are available to partronize them annoy me, too. When I was living in La Jolla I couldn't help but notice that a majority of the business, whether retail or food service, closed around 6pm or earlier. La Jolla is a very wealthy little part of San Diego. I think the message some of the (higher end) businesses (particularly retail) were trying to send is that if you have to work for your money you probably don't have enough to spend here. I'm sure that's not the message BMW dealerships are sending though. They hopefully just appreciate family time.
