It would seem that GM and Ford does the same thing at the end of the year with the remaining cars and trucks that have not sold well, but they acually own the product at the dealers so the dealer is protected and sells the cars at a lower price making some money also.<br /><br />This has nothing to do with trains but still feel the need to correct this minor misstatement by CAZEPHER in a previous post. A dealer ownes their inventory. At the end of a model year you are at the mercy of what incentives are in place and the market to move the inventory. There is no help from the factory. Last year we had a 05 Town Car that did not sell until well in to the next model year and we took about a $4000 loss on it. It hurt.<br />Clay Smith Ford Lincoln Mercury Dealer
