I will say Terry has been around here a very long time ..and I have never seen him try to sell anything.. in fact he has offered help many times to various posters here without a sales tactic behind it ..
No way can he be considered a bad guy.. just a business man..

His signature line is effectively a business card, he's using this forum to market his services.

I won't begrudge him of the right to make a living, but he has made statements here here that are false or misleading, i.e. claiming that pricing and holdback information is not readily available, or that the invoice price varies from can be found from standard sources.

No need to believe him or me: you can find all the information that you need from public sources, if you know where to look.

LOL, not the pics. let me explain. My question was really asking you whether you owned the beach or the babe. Seems unlikely. So really your no closer to those girlies or the sand than the average tourist. You can but wish though.

I'd recommend a Ford - I have had absolutely zero problems with mine since I bought it three years ago. It seems to me that around here, most tradesmen either drive Fords or Chevies, which I assume has something to do with Dodges having a bad reputation for reliability - many of the problems being transmission related.

I'd have to agree with that one, had to have my tranny rebuilt a year ago, cost an arm and a leg, although a lot of it was my fault.... heavy right foot, it does do nice wheel spins when it's not loaded

I wish you doubters would read what I write and not read into what I write.

I never claimed that pricing and holdback information is not readily available. What I said was that the actual invoice for a given vehicle is not available on KBB or wherever and that the actual holdback on any given vehicle is none of your business.

If you choose to believe otherwise that's your perogative but please don't imply that what I write is either false or tainted by my business interests.

I have never made a penny from any member of this excellent forum and have given free advice, privately, to several members who asked for it.

I concur.

He only gets into hot water though when he tries to defend his chosen profession.
