After being ripped off by Sonju many years ago, I will not buy there. They lost the sale of two trucks.

People are going to buy goods and services where they WANT to, not because they HAVE to. That's why there are many different stores, such as Target, Wal-Mart and Pamida, that offer the same product but some places have higher prices and some are lower. It's just the way it is. Everyone is guilty of not buying local, including those who wrote the letter on behalf of Sonju and Two Harbors Ford. They should be ashamed of themselves for acting like spoiled children.

Not too many years ago it seems that the then local Ford dealership was not in compliance with the Lake County signage ordinance. Repeated requests to remedy the situation were ignored. Eventually an employee of the Ford dealership showed up. He proceeded to berate, attempted to intimidate and otherwise belittle and talk down to the county representatives with whom he was meeting. Not all streets are ‘One Way’ now are they? The above is not ‘hear say’. I was one of the recipients of the belittling and berating!

The most polite thing I can say after my last experience buying a car from these guys is that I will buy my next car anywhere, but local.

I don't get this........Super One isnt demanding that all Two Harbors residents buy food at their store only. In these budget times, shouldn't we buy the least expensive vehicle, as long as, it meets the requirements? If I was buying my own car and two dealers had the exact same model with options, but different price, I am going with the lower price. Having sold fleet and commercial vehicles in the past, the makers give bid assistance to all dealers that apply for it. If the dealers in TH are that much higher in price, maybe they need to look at their profit margine and lower it.
