On the surface it seems like management down in Orlando was not too happy with their Laconia (Meredith) sales results message so they were replacing the messengers ....i.e ....the sales people.
Now as some more time has passed....it looks like Orlando has decided to pull the plug......cut their losses.....or at least their lack of success...and sell the business.
Have to wonder what percentage Laconia Harley motorcycle sales get financed and what percentage pay cash? Is the slowdown in sales due to the tightening of financing with more stringent sale underwriting rules.
For example in the not too far past, it may have been possible for someone with no money in the bank and no job to qualify for a Harley Davidson loan, but that has probably all changed since September 2008.
