I want to become a Finance Manager, am I too young and unqualified?
I'm a 25 year old male who has been selling cars at a Honda store for nearly 5 years now. Since I was hired I've always wanted to become a manager of some sort at a dealership, either a Sales Manager (new or used - preferably new) or a Finance Manager.
Our dealership has only 5 salespeople including myself and 2 sales managers and 2 finance managers. The group I work for owns 4 dealerships in the city I live in (population about 35,000), there's a Nissan store, Honda store (where I work), Hyundai store, and a Dodge store.
My primary interest in to stay with the imports. Often the general manager hires OK sales and finance managers. Though lately it seems anyone is getting hired if they're in their late 20's or older. And they aren't really that great. This builds my confidence as I know I'm good with customers, well-organized, decent with numbers to an extent, and disciplined. These other managers don't seem very plugged in and are there just for a cheque and not to increase income.
I know age discrimination is alive and well and the idea of me being a SALES manager right now is probably a no-go as I will need to lead a team of sales reps, conversely as a Finance Manager, you only deal with the sales guys on a communication basis and get their clients approved. You really only deal with the other managers and customers. This is why I feel I could be a finance manager where I'm in life now.
Your thoughts on this?

- What is a good SUV for a young male? Hey I'm looking to buy a new or slightly used SUV that should have AWD as I live in a snowy climate. I can spend under total of $26k and want something lively and young not old man or soccer mom. I want to stay away from anything too foreign because there would be limited service in my area. I've been looking at the Chevy Trax, Honda HRV and Jeep Renegade. Is there anything else I should be considering and what are your thoughts on those?
- How many years from the year the motorcycle was built should you hold onto it before the parts become too expensive For example I was interested in buying a 2006 Honda CBR600f4i until I looked up the price of the fairing pieces. Just a small piece of the fairing was over $600. Of course they charge that price because they want you to buy a new motorcycle.
