Of sure, there have been great sales in the past and it is possible that cars will be sold at a discount in the future, but right now they have got to sell….today!!!  Today is the perfect storm of savings that we will never see again.  It always amazes me how they can always sell the idea to people (myself included) that you need to act and that you need to act right now.
 
At the beginning of the month they want to sell to get things on the right foot.  At the end of the month they have to sell to close out the month with a bang.  You can take the same rational for both January and December it applies, January gets the year off right, December closes the year out with bang.
 
The ones that drive me crazy are the baloney stories that they all come up with.  The accountant was up late last night watching the ball game; he meant to order 100 new cars but accidentally placed an order for 1,000.  Now we have got to have the “Accountant Needs To Get More Sleep Sale!!!”  Never again will the accountant lack sleep and never again will we have so many cars that we have got to sell BELOW COST!!!
 
Who is in charge of inventory control at these dealerships?  They need to be fired right now.  Send in the Donald and let him fire them all.  Just once, I would love to see a car commercial that says, come and buy a car if you need it, but be prepared to pay.  If you will not buy there is always someone else.  We have the perfect amount of inventory so leave us alone with how much you think you should pay because we do not care, you will pay what we tell you.

Along the Hwy 360 and I-20 corridor, a San Marcos-style outlet mall is planned for the near future. Christmas shopping fanatics like the Wellspring Church women's group will no longer have to travel hours beyond the DFW metroplex to get the best deals on popular name brand items. 

Only a few short miles from Parks Mall, this new outlet mall will make Interstate 20 the place to go for all your gift shopping needs. Hopefully, the Hwy 161 (George Bush Turnpike) extension will be completed by the time of the outlet mall's grand opening. The southbound side of the turnpike currently ends at Airport Freeway in Irving, but construction has been underway for some time to extend the turnpike through Grand Prairie, intersecting with I-30 and eventually I-20 as well. 

In the mid-cities area, Parks Mall, North East Mall, and Southlake Town Square are currently the three best shopping areas between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Planned store names have not yet been released for the new outlet mall. We'll keep you updated on the construction and other newsworthy items.
