mythBUSTER: Myth – All our customers drive pickups or old piece of junk vehicles. Truth – Here is one of our Lincoln-driving customers. Actually, and maybe surprising to some, a lot of our customers would fit in the high net worth demographic.
Q: Can you draw any cause/effect conclusions about why they’re wealthy? Hmmm…could it be because they buy used and keep their costs low?
